This means not making excuses for the problems in my life or making myself look better than I am in my mind.
One more topic dealt with was that of us changing and controlling the behavior of water with our thoughts and how we can do the same with ourselves.

The scientists in the film discussed how we could affect our cells to be influenced by positive thoughts and make ourselves healthier, happier, human beings.
What we can learn from Amanda and her story is that the things we perceive may not be reality.
