我可以选择自己的想法
有一天，露易丝和罗伯特.荷登沿着露易丝家附近的一条自然步道散步，有高大的桉树为他们遮挡了刺眼的日光。他们讨论其中一条法则：你可以选择自己的想法。
这条法则到底什么意思？他问露易丝。
她说：“想法本身没有力量，而是你赋予了想法力量。”想法就是想法，是我们意识中的其中一种可能性。唯有得到我们的认可，想法才会变得强大。“在你的心里，你是唯一的思考者，你可以选择并决定哪个想法为真、哪个想法为假。”
我们唯一要处理的是想法，而想法是可以改变的——这是罗伯特最喜欢的露易丝.海法则之一。
大多数时候，当我们感到痛苦的时候，是因为我们回应了自己对某件事的想法。痛苦是由心造成的，这意味着我们心理上确实正在受折磨。摆脱痛苦的方法，则是与你的心做朋友，并提醒自己，你才是你所有想法的唯一宰制者；而快乐只在一念之间。

I canchoose my Thoughts
Louise and Robert Holden were out for a walk one day, following a nature trail near her home. Big old eucalyptus trees shaded them from the bright sun. They gottalking about the principle you can choose your thoughts.
“What exactly does this principle mean?” he asked Louise.
She said,“It means thoughts have no power other than what you give them.” Thoughts are just ideas – possibilities in consciousness – that are only big or powerful if we identify with them. “You are the only thinker in your mind, and you can choose if your thoughts are true or not.”
One of Robert’s favorite Louise Hay principles is:The only thing we are ever
dealing with is a thought, and a thought can be changed. Most of the time when we are in pain, it’s because we are responding to our thoughts about something. The pain is mind-made. It’s a sign that we are literally suffering from psychology. The way out of suffering is to make friends with your mind and remind yourself that you are the thinker of your thoughts. Happiness is only ever on thought way.
