Believe and you will
have, believe and you draw everything to you the good and the bad, believe and
it will move mountains, do not believe and suffer the consequences.
I have had enough of
this hocus pocus pressure to live life and be prosperous or miss out. I have
lived it, I have blamed myself when I was believing for something good and the
bad happened anyway. No more! I cannot/will not believe life is this
hard to live in peace with myself and every other human on the planet.
Experience has taught me
whether I liked it or not: "Sh*t happens." Sh*t I had NOTHING TO DO
WITH! Governmental decisions I had no input in, job crisis, company
closed, bankruptcy, genetic diseases, war declared on another country, friends
(I thought were friends) believing untrue gossip about me, drunk driver hits
and kills a friend (Or their son or daughter) reckless driving kills a biker, a
bully snipes in passing with hurtful words, an unknown shooter kills innocent
bystanders, assassinations of persons who think and live different, someone
steals from you, someone physically/sexually harms you, the list is endless and you and I
did not make this happen by our belief or unbelief. This is out of our control.
And this is very
paramount, if someone has done something physically/sexually harmful to you, it
is not your believing that caused it, most times it is your innocence to the
fact that it could happen to you by a very mentally unstable person. Once
the incident is over, do not look back, do not relive it, it will only prevent
you from moving on…Get away from the situation and person asap. The past does
not define your future.
Where did most of us
learn we are responsible for things OUT OF OUR CONTROL? Where did you learn it?
I learn to fear this life from religious teachings learned in church and
actions of my family/relatives, society, our puritan culture, male
dominated and female submissiveness teachings…I learned this at home.
Negative words and
beliefs create more fear in a child's mind than adults know. I had to get away
from such negative expressions and negative opinions expressed daily to find
peace in my mind and my life. I had to reprogram my thoughts for thankfulness
and positive actions. It took years to overcome and learn to control the only
thing I have control of, my thoughts and actions. It took only a moment to
forgive others and look to myself for guidance to move on.
Which brings me to this
wonderful realization that works for all, it is so comforting to stop worrying
about things out of my control. How? By controlling my thoughts. Live
every day with gratefulness for what I have and plans to have more as
opportunities arise and the opportunities will arrive if I am patient and look
for these that keep moving me in the direction of my dreams. Once opportunity
comes, I walked through that door, I did not hesitate, and I wanted a different
life. The old adage "Opportunity only knocks once is
hogwash!" Many opportunities will come to you at
different times in your life, just because this one did not work out or
interest you at the time, another will come.
Keep moving and if I
walk through the wrong door, I patiently walk back out and learn lessons about
the wrong door. We all learn from our mistakes it is one of our best
teachers.
How do I know? Because I
have seen, in this big world there are more good people than bad and in this
big world there are more creative ideas in each of us than we know if we just
dare to ask our self to think!
No believing is
required, just a thankful attitude, positive actions. Open yourself to
get yourself in a position to be better and do better, and keep moving. It will
absolutely happen, no believing required.
