Things get better every day because we make it better. It is not because of some higher power that dictates how our lives are lived or events in our lives unfolds. I should know better because I have been blaming that higher power for every miserable thing that had ever happened to me in the past 5 years. Now I know that I myself hold the key to my own happiness and my own destiny.
What we get out of life is proportionate to what we put into it. Like in computing terms, garbage in-garbage out applies to every aspect of our lives as human beings. I realize that the root to all results is our belief system. We are what we believe we are.
Isn’t it true? The children of people living in slums believe that it is their reality and continue to live there for generations without ever finding a way out of it. We see it everywhere, Brazil, India, The Philippines, Indonesia. Even if these people are thought that the predicament that they find themselves in isn’t their reality and they have the power to change it, they might not consciously choose to take action because they have been ‘programmed’ for generations that they cannot change their reality. However occasionally we find that there are rare jewels amongst the haystack that stand out and go down into the history books as someone who made it from rags to riches but how often do things like that occur? It takes incredible will power and determination to do even a simple thing as to choose one’s life outcome.
But, in my experience, when we consciously make the decision to actually do something about our reality, it takes even more work to follow through with our choice and to really see things work out the way we want it to. Thinking is the hardest thing to do, that’s why so few people engage in it. It’s funny, we think that we are thinking but in reality most of the time we run our lives on auto-pilot. It’s easier to sit back and relax and drift through life hoping that time will go by faster and everything will fall into its place eventually and cross the bridge when we get to it. That way we can blame it on God or ‘the way life is’ for the unfortunate things that happen to us.
