The choices we make

There is nothing to worry about, unless we choose.

There is nothing to fear, unless we choose.

There is nothing to get done, unless we choose.

There is nothing to stress about, unless we choose.

We create all the choices in our life, every single moment.

We choose to listen to our thoughts or not, we choose the attitude we’ll have, we choose what to say, what to do, what we eat…all of it.

Critically, we choose all the internal reactions to all that happens externally and that is where we choose to suffer within or not.

Of course, when we are stuck within our thoughts and the drama, then it is difficult to see the wood for the trees. However, the more aware of the fact that we choose everything within us, the more able we are to step away from it.

The good news is, we can all start right now making different choices and change whatever we choose to change.

Our soul shines

When we start to recognise the many repeating thought patterns that are negative and destructive, that is a major step to disassociating with them. To recognise it means that we have become conscious and in the moment, that awareness is the key step.

Most of our lives we are in an unconscious state, stuck within negative thought patterns, that we become attached to and actually we become them. They manifest into our actions and beliefs.

These thought patterns end up sabotaging us and prohibit us from being in this moment now, they stop us experiencing real life. We are too busy thinking to actually notice we’re alive!

When we realise that we are not our thoughts, we transcend thought and then realise we are the witness to our thoughts, we are spiritual human being and not the myriad of personas that the mind has constructed to fit our ego and its stories.

This realisation frees us from being trapped in the unconscious thought-obsessed state and we can then be free to experience life in this conscious moment. Our soul shines and our ego starts to wane.
