Amazing You!!!

      In case you didn't know, we all have this incredible ability to create the experience that is to come within our lifetime. Once this is realized, the question then becomes, are you willing to create it in order to become a better you?
     Many people go through life changing experiences simply because of something they may have desired. This is true on many levels, and when circumstances become too much for us to handle, many people are left to reap the consequences. Unfortunately, some of those consequences are more devastating than what we can handle.
     As I sat down in the barber's chair this morning to get my hair cut, my barber had a lot of things weighing heavily on his heart. He talked about his current situation and how it was weighing him down in life. I asked him if I could ask him one simple question and he said "yeah." I said, without you sharing your personal business with me, do you find that you may have brought this on yourself now that the dust is all stirred up? He answer with all honesty and said "yes." My point is this. If we engage in experiences that will cause us to tear down, what we've worked on building up within ourselves (character traits), why would we be selfish enough to engage in something that may destroy us?
     Just as the barber stated, the life experience that he engaged in was not only fortifying, but it brought him temporal satisfaction. The sad part is this...He never considered his end results and now he's having to pay emotionally. This is where the hook can be found at in life. Anything that brings about temporary pleasure (emotionally), often times will deliver having to deal with difficult consequences.
   Because of the life experience in which he CHOSE to go through, he is now left with having to deal with man made consequences. One thing about consequences is this; they are never determined by
the person committing the act.
     For example, if I start stealing, the consequence is jail. If I start committing acts of violence, then the consequence could be death. Or if I start practicing at what I wish to conquer, then my consequence will be some type of reward.
     Remember, as growing individuals that are seeking strength within ourselves, we will always have the ability to embrace wisdom and knowledge simply by thinking. Without taking into consideration our ability to "think" before acting, we will always dismiss the reality of the experience we would have allowed ourselves to engage in.
   Finally, never allow yourself to engage in meaningless experiences, especially those experiences that have the ability to arrest you emotionally. When we put our thoughts to work prior to engaging in anything that may destroy us, it is then that we construct a belief system that holds you (us) accountable to being the best that we can possibly be.
     Remember, always love yourself!!
