Nowadays we can often hear a well-known advice being banalized.
"Think positive, you will feel good and live a perfect life."
It can't be easier.
Are things really that simple and if they are, where and why do they become more complex?
In the present moment, because if you use it as an anchor point for changing thoughts, you end up in the past.
You wonder how. The present is nothing else but a set of choices from the past.
And that's where problem emerges.
How to think positive, if I am not satisfied with my own reflection in the mirror?
How to think positive, when a partner next to whom I wake up is not a positive person?
How to think positive, while working in a negative environment?
How to think positive having kids which are not happy?
How to think positive when my body, my temple, does not serve?
How to think positive, if I can't afford to buy what I want?
All this breaks are trying to teach you the most powerful lesson, even bigger than positive thoughts and the present moment.
Choices!
This is the most important word you read and most important guideline we should teach our children. Your own choices brought you exactly where you are right now. The point is not to now feel an additional guilt because of that, but to realize that soon will come the future, which be set of choices called the present. Guilt is a mere excuse for future, because blaming it on yourself, you are again running toward the past.
Everyone who nowadays lives a happy and fulfilled life, once had made a bold decision. It is not the "circumstances" that went in favor, but rather opposing them and making a decision in spite of the fear. That is courage. And we call those people lucky. In your circumstances somebody wouldn't agree to them. Someone who has zero tolerance for dissatisfaction and fear. Someone who knows that choices can be wrong, someone who knows that choices can change, someone who knows that it is not the most important thing to nourish form but the content, someone who knows that life is much more and that he deserves the best.
Nothing is written in stone.
Many are calling for God's will, and in the same time forget His greatest gift to people - free will! God is constantly saying: "Thy will be done!" He is just supporting us with love in doing so. The possibility of choice would not exist if this sentence were not true.
When you make the choices, you are the one bearing consequences. Consequence is a neutral word. Your choice defines its sign.
That's what present moment, in which your past and your future are contained, is teaching you. The future will once come and it will become a mirror of what is now. In a year everything that today is will become one year old history. You could already be living life of your dreams for a whole year. Would you like that?
Give an answer not using words. Make a choice. :)
Note: Take the meaning of entity God in any way that suits you the best.
