Your World Is A Reflex of You

Do you wish for kindness. Be kind

Do you ask for truth. Be true.

What you give of yourself you find.

Your world is a reflex of you...

I know many people believe in fate and trust me there are times l wish l was one of them. But l believe we create our own fate, that our lives are shaped by a series of thoughts and choices, one decision leading to another, bringing us tonnes of great joy or years of regret. In the end its up to us, we get to write our own story.

The truth is, as you are, so is your world. Over the years lve learnt that everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience. Everything that you are within is mirrored and coloured accordingly. 

Your own thoughts, desires and aspirations comprise your world, and, to you,  all there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss or of ugliness and sorrow and pain, is contained within yourself. By your own thoughts you make or mar your life, your world, your universe. 

As you build within by the power of your thoughts, so will your outward life and circumstances shape themselves accordingly. Whatsoever you harbour in the innermost chambers of your heart will attract its own. 

Gautama once said all that we are is a result of what we have thought. Circumstances do not determine the outcome of your life. If they had so much power to bless or harm, they would bless or harm all men alike. 

Once u begin to realise this you will begin to control your thoughts, to regulate and to discipline your mind and to rebuild the temple in which your spirit dwells, eliminating all useless and superfluous material and incorporating into your being, thoughts alone of joy and serenity, of strength and life, of compassion and love, of beauty and immorality. 

I've made some spectacularly awful  choices in my life and too good ones. But we cant spend half of our lives looking back wishing if only we had done it differently, chosen smarter, not made so many mistakes. The truth is our mistakes dont limit us, only our fears do and as unpredictable as this journey is, lm glad that l am discovering more things about myself. 

Everyday you wake up and have a second chance to do whatever you want and to be whatever you want. The only thing stopping you is you.
