Someone asked me recently ...
Can we really change?
I smiled at the exact same question
I once asked myself.
I used to think that people always stayed the same ...
Until I consciously set out to change my own direction.
It's not easy.
We can be so set in our ways.
But once, we chose to grow ...
But once, we chose to grow ...
Growth can be as normal as breathing!
We can open our minds and hearts.
We can open our minds and hearts.
We can let go of the past
And
And
Welcome whatever lays ahead of us.
We can step out of our comfort zones ...
We can stretched to reach for
And
Touch more
Of this beautiful world ...
And
Touch more
Of this beautiful world ...
And
This beautiful world will touch back!
This beautiful world will touch back!
We can see things with new eyes.
We can hear things we have never heard before.
Food will taste better.
Hugs will feel warmer and last longer.
Sleep will be a place where dreams
Inspire and confirm
Sleep will be a place where dreams
Inspire and confirm
The open doors!
Looking back now ...
We changed everyday whether we wanted to or not!
New ideas and opinions and information came to us
Continuously.
Accepting them or rejecting them
Changed us
For better or worse!
Heaven or Hell is here and now!
We don't have to wait to die!
If we take responsibility for our own lives,
If we take responsibility for our own lives,
For our own actions,
Then our future is in our hands,
And WE CAN CHOOSE to live in heaven NOW!
OR
We can choose to stay right where we are,
Rejecting new people and new ways of thinking
Punishing ourselves and those around us,
Creating drama
Creating drama
By reworking and recycling the old ideas
That have never worked for us
Or anyone else ...
Choosing to live in Hell!
Can we really change?
Can we really change?
Absolutely!
It seems that we either get better
Or we get worse!
I shared this with my son. We talked about how so much of what happens today isn't about what happens but how we react to what happens ... He later sent me a note that said:

Destiny is arbitrary. There is no cruelty in circumstances.
You are not the same person from one moment to the next. Memory is plagued with inconsistency but even if you could remember the past with perfect and flawless clarity,
you could still not account for the changes in your perception, no matter how subtle, due to the experiences you've had since then.
The you that you are at this very moment has never existed before now and, beyond this moment, you will never exist again as you are right at this very moment.
We are exactly as we are meant to be and our actions, whether they are right or wrong, are an honest expression of who we are at this very moment.

Right and wrong are wrapped around consequences and a consequence is simply a circumstance that
can't let go of the past.
A circumstance says that a thing is or is not;
A consequence says that a thing is or is not BECAUSE ...
The goal would be to live in a world of circumstances
without assigning consequences to yourself and others
so that you can amend the first statement ...
