"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." ~King Solomon
I have more good news.
A word. A compound word (maybe?)
MINDSET:
A fixed mental disposition that predetermines your interpretation and response to situations.
From dictionary.com (rearranged by me.)
That's the good news. You can fix your focus in such a way that it predetermines your interpretation and responses to situations.
Say you decide to fix your mental disposition on negative situations. You decide to be negative. Now say someone compliments you. Someone says, "You really look nice today." Because you have a negative mindset, you may interpret the compliment as a deception. "She's only saying that to get something from me. She just wants to butter me up for something." So you may say, "Thank you," but you won't mean it. You'll be watching her.
But if you have a positive mindset, and receive the very same compliment, you will interpret the compliment as genuine, and genuinely say thank you.
Your mindset determines your experience, and your responses to your experience.
Your focus is your heart. And you have the key to what comes in, as well as what goes out, of your mind and mouth. That's why Solomon said to guard your heart above all else, because everything you do flows from it.
How do you change your life right now?
By changing your mindset.
