Over two-thousand years ago the Greek philosopher Epictetus said that "People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them".

The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius said that: “A Man’s life is what his thoughts make of it".

The Buddha stated: "We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves".

As you may know our body is made up of various organs, that are in turn made up of cells, that are in turn made up of atoms which, when looked at closely are 99.99999% empty space.

In fact if you took all of this empty space out of every atom in your body what would be left in terms of physical state would be nothing bigger than a grain of sand. And if you took all of the empty space out of every atom in every human being on the planet (all 8 billion of us) which would be left would be nothing bigger than something the size of a tennis ball or apple.

But this empty space is not actually empty. It is energy. 99.999999% of our physical state is made up of it.
