Power Of Choice

The power of our choices to impact not only others, but the very fabric of reality, is substantial. Now that science is catching up with the knowledge that ancient spiritual traditions has taught for millennia, the impact of our choices has become even more powerful, as we are now aware of the effect that a single coherent thought can have on the external and internal environments.

With every choice, comes a reaction, whether small or large, a reaction does occur. If we wish to effect change on a scale that is alignment with that which is good, true, and pure, we must first learn to harness the mind, and specifically, the direction of our thoughts. The world we live in is full of concepts, that are intended to shift our perception from the inner world, of growth, healing, and homeostasis, to the outer world, of glamour, flashing screens, and the endless flow of information that populates the screens of our phones.

The intention of our thoughts is extremely important, for if the intention of the thought is of a negative nature, this will be reflected in the body, and also very likely in the actions of the individual having the negative thoughts. With so much fearful information being presented and worry mounting at profoundly deep levels, it's time for us to make a choice, to become more than we have been led to believe that we are.

After my wife passed away, I had to make a choice, and the choice I made was to become the purpose for which I was created, this was my choice, and continues to drive my motivations to this day. I began changing my habits, in relation to everything I did, and while I have always had interest in spiritual development, it was not always pursued with such consistency.

I stopped playing video games, and started reading, I became more conscious of the foods that I put into my body, I began spending my time in pursuit of anything which would help me to grow as a person, from wood working, to writing, to poetry, journaling, and goal setting. I found that if I set a goal for myself, I would work harder than If I was just pursuing something for the heck of it. I imbued every aspect of my life with meaning, and purpose, because, that which I placed so much meaning in, was no longer physically present, to be my purpose, my wife.

I was a caregiver to my late wife, for she was too sick to work, and that had been my purpose for living, I had to find a new purpose when she passed, and I figured, if I was going to do anything truly worth doing, I was going to do it by maxing out my potential in every way, and what bigger purpose to work towards, than discovering the true purpose for which god put me on this earth, I was aiming high, because I knew that it would not be a goal I could reach easily, and it would require me to do work on every level of myself, in order for me to achieve that which I was setting out to achieve.

I started running every morning, I started out with 3 miles, and then went up to five, and now I run an average of 12 miles every morning before work, I weight lift every day after work, I meditate each day, either in the morning, or the evening, and I always walk out my door with a sense of optimism, and an attitude of not just thinking that today is going to be a good day, I know that no matter what happens today, I am capable of tackling whatever challenges that may arise, due to the work I have put into my own personal growth. I always make sure that if I communicate with someone, I bless the conversation by the end of it, simply by telling that person, with intention, to have a wonderful day.

The changes I have made to my life, have been profound, but the effects of these changes has also been profound, I am generally always happy, stress is something I don't experience very often, my confidence is higher than it has ever been before, and I have a deep intrinsic feeling of peace, that does not depart from me, but it is something that could easily depart from me, if I make the choice to ignore the promptings of my spirit, and act in ways that are not in alignment with my highest good. I am not saying that this is a path for everyone, for it is something I have always been drawn to, however, I am saying that if this is something that may interest you, and you are ready for a change to take place in your life, on a profoundly substantial, and impactful way, for not just yourself, but for everyone who you come in contact with, in a positive way, then take a chance on yourself, and make the choices that you feel in your heart are in alignment with your highest potential.

Don't let the world tell you who you are, for the only one that knows you better than yourself, is the one who created you.

Brightest Blessings.
