All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

A hundred and fifty years ago there lived a woman named Sono, whose devotion and purity of heart were respected far and wide. One day a fellow Buddhist, having made a long trip to see her, asked, "What can I do to put my heart at rest?"
She said, "Every morning and every evening, and whenever anything happens to you, keep on saying, 'Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.' "
The man did as he was instructed for a whole year, but his heart was still not at peace. He returned to Sono crestfallen. "I've said your prayer over and over, and yet nothing in my life has changed; I'm still the same selfish person as before. What should I do now?"
Sono immediately said, "Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever."
On hearing these words, the man was able to open his spiritual eye, and he returned home with a great joy.
