Illusion

Most of us have no time to ponder life's mysteries.  Between work and family we are squeezed.     This is a by-product of Western civilization--work till you drop.  It will take a transformation in  thinking, a way of living, to free us from this illusion.  We have choices in life.  We can choose to do something or choose not to.  Most of us are afraid to let go and take the first step.  Maybe some of us have been bloodied.  How many of us choose to live with our circumstances because it is the path of least resistance?  How many of us actually choose our own happiness, unhappiness?  How many of us tenaciously cling to the old way of doing things?  Fear is a great motivating factor that can be used as a weapon to keep people in line or prevent them from moving forward.  Fear of losing your job; fear of having to move; fear of what someone will think.  And incredibly, fear of success.  Isn't this a terrible waste of who and what we really are?  You know who you are and what you can contribute.    If we consciously choose to stretch our mind into birthing a better way of life for ourselves and our family, isn't this what we should be striving for?--Happiness, prosperity and peace of mind.  Have you thought about where you are, right now?  Are you happy?  Are you miserable?  Are there goals you would like to pursue but, because of reasons known only to you, you cannot move forward?   Thoughts are energy.  They are what make make us, who and what we are.  The old saying, "You are what you think" has much truth in it.  Close your eyes for a moment and ask yourself, "if achieving something is as simple as changing my pattern of thought, would I eagerly embrace this new method in order to move forward?  I believe you would.  Stop looking at the negatives and start focusing on the positives of what you want to achieve.  Then, do it.  Obviously there are things you must take into consideration.  But why is it, that deep down, you believe you do not have the right to be happy?  Is it because of conditioning, because your mind told you so?  Stop living under the old illusion that someone or some thing is always going to thwart your every move.  If you choose a new direction, thus shedding the old illusion, your thoughts will take you to the moon and back.  Start packing.
