It’s our choice

Posted on by philipdodson

We are not here to please others, to fix others, to tell others what to do, we are here for our own experiences. What others are is what they are, accept them and let them be. We can only control ourselves not others.

We do not need permission, we do not need other peoples acceptance or approval.

Our path and journey is uniquely ours to choose what the next step is.

Of course, all choices have consequences and we are accountable for the outcome of the ones we make.

It’s our choice, our journey…just live the moment, follow your feelings and enjoy it no matter what anyone thinks.

Something that will never happen in a time that isn’t real

Posted on by philipdodson

Nothing turns out like we imagine it will, by default, our mind and its ego conjure up the worst possible outcome…sometimes, almost quite unimaginable!

If life turned out as we imagine, firstly, what would the point be, as the uncertainty of life is what makes it special and secondly, life would be miserable, as we imagine the future to be challenging.

What if we decided not to waste our energy on predicting something we can’t predict as the future isn’t real beyond our mind? What if we decided to focus our energies on enjoy this moment now, the only time that we are actually alive? What if we stopped creating our own suffering worrying about something that will never happen in a time that isn’t real?

Perhaps, life would be more enjoyable, worth a try maybe?
