THE WORLD ACCORDING TO YOU - PART 1

CHECK OUT MY BOOK "INSIGHTS"
What's your life like? Is it pleasant - or is it difficult, full of hardship?

When you look at the world around you, on a daily basis, what do you see? And what does it mean to you?

The world you live in, including your home, your job, the people you live with, the belongings and possessions, the clothing, the food, furniture, dishes, pots pans, right up to the kitchen sink, is all a part of who you are. In fact, it all is the results of hundreds, maybe thousands of choices you have made, actions you have taken.

And, since your choices are the results of your thinking, your care or your carelessness, then the world around you is the reflection of your thoughts.

If you want to know what you have been thinking, consciously or unconsciously, just look around you. What does your life look like?

For some of us, this may be a tough pill to swallow. If you don't like your life, or anything in it, your own choices are the cause.

This is NOT saying that you are to 'blame' for anything. But you are 'responsible' - that is, response-able; able to respond to whatever is in your life.

We are always inclined to want to blame something or somebody- but you can't blame your husband- you married him! You said "Yes, I do." You men can't blame your wives- you chose them- you said "Yes". You are living the results of your choices.

Blaming is a false and useless idea. If you are inclined to feel badly about anything in your life, blaming is a great way to feel worse. It is also the very best way to duck responsibility. If it's not you, if it's someone else, then you don't have to do anything, and you just can't help the mess you're in, because you had no part in it. Like Doctor Phil says, "You can't change what you won't acknowledge."

If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them!

You always have choices. If you are in poor health, you can argue all the reasons why that can't be helped - or you can argue all the reasons why you deserve to be strong, and vibrantly healthy. It's your choice.

If you have issues with poverty, or health, or your job, you can blame all sorts of circumstances or people - you can make a laundry list of things to blame it on - or you can list the reasons why you should claim your share of the world's wealth, or why your body should be healthy and whole, or what opportunities there are for you. You can declare that you deserve just as much as anyone else. The choice is up to you.
