Create Your Own Reality

I was having a conversation with an elder and he told me that he was often thinking about past events that impacted his life.  He told me few stories and they were all about wrongs that he felt were done to him. 

This man has had a wonderful long life with so many gifts, yet his focus is on the negative events.

I asked him:  If it was painful when it happened years back, why would you want to continue to re- live the experience over and over again.  It wasn’t fun the first time!

We all have experienced unpleasant situations and often we focus on and remember them more than the pleasant ones.   Our negative experiences stem from either something that was done to us, something that we did, or something that we had no control over.   We perpetuate whatever feelings we had and bring them into the present day. 

Our reality is created by our mind.

 If we would focus on the uplifting and happy events, we would live with more gratitude.This would bubble over into our relationships and experiences, helping us to stay present in the moment, fully participating in our daily life.   We could live with my peace, ease and joy. 

It's our choice.

What do you want your focus to be today?  Let me know in the comments below.
