Changing the way we respond to things
and think about things,
would improve our life 
on a lot of levels.

Thinking differently alleviates 
much of what ails us.

How would you go about thinking differently?

There is the what and the how.
We could change what we think about,
or we could change how we think about
what we think about.

I hardly ever think about chronic diseases
of India elephants,
and could research the topic 
on the internet,
interview experts,
buy an elephant
and keep it in the back yard
under close observation.

Dealing with the neighbors
would give me a lot of new things
to think about.

And finding elephant-sized 
doggie bags.

Our response pattern
sets us up for 
the life pattern
that defines/expresses
who we are.

When we change/vary 
the way we respond,
we change/vary ourselves
and create a new identity
for ourselves
just by responding differently
to the things that happen
in our life.

That would make all things new.
