Your brain does not react to an objective world, out there.
Using past experience, your brain predicts and constructs your experience of the world.
The actions and the experiences that you make today become your brain's predictions for tomorrow. Sometimes we are responsible for something not because we're to blame but because we're the only ones who can change it.
– Dr. Lisa Feldman-Barrett
