(aka: " Chunk to Hunk " ) http://www.onephatman.com/2006/10/23/whirlwind-of-activity ========== The only reality we know is that which we perceive. Our outlook on life is formed by our past experiences, and everything going into our brains as " input " is filtered through that outlook. The way we react to any given situation is based on our perception of that situation. Change your perceptions, and you change your reality. Think about it for a second. What's your belief about people in general? Do you believe people are basically kind, helpful, and good, or do you believe they're bad, out to " get " you, or even evil? Take a minute. Reflect on how you feel about others. My guess is that if you look back into your past, you can find specific examples to support your belief. All beliefs are nothing more than a sense of certainty (faith, if you will) that some idea is " true " . These beliefs in turn form the filter that creates our realities. I used to believe that because I was so fat, I was worthless as a person and unlovable. Furthermore, I believed the stereotype that fat people are lazy, which in turn made me never want to get off my butt and do something. We're all the masters of our lives, and I contend that our beliefs and perceptions shape our destiny. What sort of destiny do you think I had when I believed I was worthless, lazy, and unlovable? I was doing nothing more than getting by, instead of designing a life worth living. No more. Now I understand I'm in control, and that I can make my life whatever I want it to be. There are two great words that can immediately start to transform our perceptions, and therefore our reality. These words are " I am " , and they carry a power like the world has never known. I am lovable. I am valuable. I am hardworking. Say them once, and you grin because you feel kind of stupid. Say them ten times, and you start to wonder if you're going slightly batty. Say them a hundred times, and you start to believe them. Say them a thousand times, and they become your reality. I don't think there's any small significance to the fact that in the Bible, God referred to Himself as " I am " . Your subconscious can create for you any reality you want, if you believe in yourself and take actions on your beliefs. What kind of reality do you want? ======================================= Jenn <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
