Creating Your Reality

One of your biggest gifts is the ability to choose. In every moment you choose what to give your attention, your focus, and your energy--and most importantly, your reactions to what happens around you. The outcome of these choices, in turn, creates your reality. Your choices stem from your thoughts and feelings, and as Neale Donald Walsch states in his brilliant book series, Conversations with God (a major read-recommendation, btw)... "feelings are the language of the soul."

So while exercising your power of choice you are constantly choosing what to focus on - and that includes your thoughts and feelings.

Stop for a moment and think of the connections:

Your feelings create your thoughts;
Your thoughts create words;
Your words create actions;
Your actions create character;
Your character creates your life path;
Your life path is your reality, as you perceive it.

So if we are, indeed, choosing in every moment and we are creating our reality in every moment, think about what life story are you creating? Is it a happy tale full of fun and adventure, or a tedious story of stress and disappointment? The power of choice allows us to create the reality that we truly want regardless of what is happening around us! And don’t we all want to be successful, happy, and prosperous?

Here’s a simple 3-step process to consciously start activating your power to create a reality for yourself that contains the things you truly desire:

1. Decide. Think about what you truly want and start making choices that are in-line with that desire. So many times people are on autopilot and not taking the time to decide what they want. If you continue to accept your life events "by default" then stop complaining when things consistently don't turn out the way you intended. You need to decide what it is that brings you true joy and happiness!

2. Declare. Start talking about what you'd like to create--tell friends and family members. There is energy that spreads when you start talking about what it is that you truly want. Stating your intentions starts the momentum to achieve them!

3. Demonstrate. You know the phrase, "Fake it 'til you make it"? It's part of becoming and moving into your reality as you create it. Demonstrating your intention by acting as if you already have what it is that you truly want puts you in line with receiving it!

And as an important follow-up, remember to be grateful for what you already have. Gratitude is a vital part of completing the circle of creation. Be thankful and appreciate whatever it is that you do receive, for every gift is a step towards your next creation.

By focusing your attention and making deliberate choices you are creating your reality in every moment. Practice your power of choice and create a reality for yourself that truly works!

Namaste.
