Thought

 Predicting the future, how often do we do this?  Every minute of every day and it is often followed by fear based solutions. Looking for the right answer to the questions we have most often involves looking at the past in retrospect. We do this or that and the results follow a path that we are certain will turn out the same way. We take a chance, do something out of our comfort zone and suddenly our minds are running a thousand different scenarios as to the outcome.The problem with this is, the future has millions of different variables. Everyday we choose our future with the things we do and don't do.

 You're leaving the house and you go back to get the keys you forgot, one path of your future has changed. We have an infinite number of paths of our one life,  yet don't realize this. Life is not linear, it's expansive. Some of us will be excited. some scared, some with a little of both. It's our mindset that will predict the outcome. We take that, put the past where it belongs, and venture out to something that will literally be whatever we imagine it to be. 

Our mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. We, as humans, are in a constant state of survival mode. It is ingrained in our DNA.  We constantly seek out comfort and familiarity. When we take a chance, do something new and the outcome is unpleasant, we carry that feeling with us to protect us from similar unfortunate circumstances. So, do we try new things or stay in out comfort zone. To avoid, what could be truly wonderful, is denying ourselves the experience of life itself.  Yes, life can be and will be difficult, it will also be amazing. Life will always follow our lead... always. We are brave enough to take a step into uncertainty and believe, truly believe, that the next step will lead to better things.

 Life is a journey that we are creating with every thought we have in every second of the day.  What we believe to be true is entirely up to us. Trying to wrap our mind around this is futile because we are our mind. We create our life based upon what we imagine. The thoughts of things we have no control over, are they adding to our serenity and taking from it?  Being grateful for what we already have, not because someone else has less, but just because we have it. 'It' being anything and everything. Having undeniable faith that we are creating our life just by thinking. 

When was the last time we actually observed a thought. Stopped and asked 'What was I thinking just now?' That in itself can be a game changer. Was it one of negativity. hate, revenge, unfairness, remorse or one of thankfulness, kindness and love. These thoughts, the negative and positive are shaping our reality. I'll repeat a scientific fact, our brain believes whatever we tell it. It has no perception of what is imagined or what is real. Life will always have obstacles, challenges for every living thing on this planet. We as humans have the gift of imagination, let's use that to our advantage.
