Most people think that it’s the external circumstances of their lives that create how they feel. For example, the traffic, another person, or the news. The truth is, that your feelings are a direct result of your thoughts. It’s impossible to feel unhappy without first having unhappy thoughts. It’s impossible to feel confident without having confident thoughts.

If you want financial success, it’s because you want to feel secure, at peace, significant, or free. If you rehearse a speech, it’s because you want to avoid embarrassment, feel proud of yourself, or appreciated by your listeners.
