My relationship with reality

I have sat with this question for many years. I truly believe that I had no control over what was unfolding in front of me. What I learned over the years is that I may not be able to change reality, but I can certainly change my experience. I learned by changing my attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts attached to reality, I can change the experience, and by changing the experience, I had changed the outcome, my reality.
