Creating Your Reality

               

           I think something beautiful to think about is the way life acts as the grand mirror of our souls. It is constantly showing us what it is we feel about ourselves, the world we live in, and the people around us. We are shown everyday who it is we are by the words we think of about ourselves, the job we have, the love we feel we receive from others, the news we are bombarded with every day, and more. We use these thoughts, circumstances and events as reference points to define another piece of our soul, believing this is how life works, this is how it goes. But what happens when you let go of those reference points? When you let go of seeing the world through the lenses of the masses rather than the ones you occupy? You see the truth, and the potential.

                If you reside in the perception that your thoughts create your reality than why not enhance that truth and consciously create it? We take this term “your thoughts create your reality” but only use it in ways which contribute to having a good day, or thinking good thoughts about something. This is wonderful, yes, but there’s so much more we can do. We aren't meant to walk through life being blind sighted by “fate” or “circumstances” as if they are someone else’s doing. They are our own. And when we see such a creation as an opportunity to grow stronger in our integrity, our power to create becomes stronger. We see life for what it is- the mirror of our soul. We no longer wish to live in a sleeping state where everything happens TO us and not BY us. We are AWAKE. 

                Each moment we live in is a moment created by an accumulation of our thoughts, belief systems, and intention. By utilizing these three truths you can further enhance your ability to create which you desire. You can do this by being consciously aware of your thoughts you have throughout the day. Are they beneficial to myself and others? Do they make me feel good? Do they come from my ego or my soul? This will also in turn shed light on the long held belief systems you've held onto. Whether they are beliefs you've discovered on your own, or your parents/cultural beliefs you've stuck with, ask yourself why they are there and if they are hindering your power as a creator in anyway. And finally, start setting intentions! What do you want? What to do wish you create? Start making choices. A lot of the times when we are faced with a creation that isn't what we wanted or lead somewhere opposite of our desires, it’s because we didn't make a choice. We didn't let the universe know what we wanted. Be clear. Set your intentions and let it be. Don’t feed your intentions with doubt, or fear of it not happening, just send them away with love and childish joy knowing what you wish to receive is on its way. And so it will be.

                Your desire is never in question. Whatever you wish, shall be. The only thing standing in the way of creating the life you wish to live in is your belief that you can do so. Own your power, stand in it, and create. What are you waiting for?
