You create and sustain your own reality every moment when you are awake. As we search for order in a world of chaos, we tend to attribute familiar traits even to inanimate objects. Faith is one example, with Jesus showing to you on your toast, and your life changing in better because of the good omen.
The world is how you think it is, not how it is. Perception is a tricky master, but we can challenge our assumptions and change our routine hunting our habits, everything that make us complacent, as being challenged is the main way to grow. Hard is good, as long as it is not very very hard. And yet, in many cases, people did impossible things just because nobody told them that this is impossible. How is my reasoning?
