Do you need a book to tell you right from wrong?
Do you need a person to tell you that it is not right to judge people? Do you have eyes to see the beauty of the world? Did anyone ever tell you not to trust yourself? Do you believe what you hear? Do you hear voices in your head? We are all products of what we tell ourselves. No matter what we go through in life, we choose how we handle every situation. I would go as far as saying perspective is each person’s individual reality. Perspective; “Is the cup half full or half empty?” or “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” The choice is always yours and what you tell yourself determines the outcome, whether immediate, short term, long term, etc. Think of our lives as if each one is a circle. All your routines, thoughts, actions, everything about you is your circle. It is only natural that like circles will overlap and combine at times. Hence, the more positive you are, the more positive people will come into your life. If you are negative then it's vice versa and we all know; “Misery loves company.” And don't forget; “The crabs in the bucket theory.” But do we take ownership for circumstances? Do we blame God or ask God for help? Or just let everything happen to us and think nothing is of our own doing? What about self-pity? Does feeling sorry for yourself help you at all? Personally, I thank God every day for this beautiful world and the gift of life. We have the choice of how to view this world, others, and ourselves. Whether or not we wish to make the best of things is a personal choice. If we pursue our lives with love and compassion, even if we find ourselves up against negativity repelling our value, it’s OK. Consistency always perseveres and you can't go wrong for doing right. Ultimately we persist no matter what, but the direction is up to us. I do feel there is such a thing as good and evil in the world. The whispers of our ears are there sitting on both shoulders, but we can choose which voices to hear. I’ve told my own mind to be quiet when catching myself judging someone or making an assumption about another person. Who are we to decide what a person's role is in a given situation. Even though at times we must make these types of decisions, the biggest struggle in life is truly within us. May we cherish ourselves enough and thank God enough to have the eyes to see the beauty of the world. Everything is everything and what is going to take place, will, whether we like it or not. So we may as well choose to see things in a light of less suffering or none at all. Or would you rather spend time in worry and fear? The choice is yours. Just remember, worry and fear are the biggest advisers of misery. So why would you willingly want to spend time in that state of mind? I know I don’t! Written by Ariel Flashman Dedicated to Humanity
