Great article wish more people could read it, goes along with when bad things happen to good people.

And isn’t it the truth as to how much your attitude and frame of mind have to do with changing the whole atmosphere and thought process.

Yes Liara – what you say indeed has to always be considered as so often people say that they are doing their “best”, etc. and perhaps they are but their words, thoughts and actions all stem from energy and that energy is more powerful in what it does than the above three methods combined.

Most people of course are not aware of that energy or just how powerful it is.

Your comment about “normal” and “expectations” in your reply to Dan really hits a point home. People are unconsciously sending our energy vibrations to loved ones all the time. The implications are startling. A person may have the best intentions, but that person’s word choices, thoughts and actions may be undermining them. To raise awareness is a way any person can align their thoughts, behavior and intention. This alignment is key to deliberate and effective action. How you choose to experience a situation may not reflect what you eventually get out of it.

[...] Now granted, the human race is not going to wake up that quickly and as each day passes that they do not, innocent people, who perhaps want nothing to do with the violence are stuck within it. But even to this situation one can apply a piece of Heaven. Our true inner self has brought us here to learn, grow, become and live out the highest versions of ourselves possible. It is like the article I wrote a few months back, “It is not the situation, but how you choose to experience it“. [...]

Thank you so much Edward – I will surely look into the site you mention as it is always great to read other’s perspectives on this topic too.

Control over our own destiny is so possible and those who recognize it really benefit and as you say also allows for growth. Bottom line it just makes life easier when one understands that it is us who control the outcome of every situation.

This is a great posting explaining how we think about our life day to day. Our behavior is a big reflection on how our future will turn out to be. Taking steps to analyze yourself also leads to the acquiring of responsibility. There was a great topic mentioned on the blog of 5WPR’s Ronn Torossianmentioning responsibility enables us to exercise control over your own destiny. If we can combine the two (responsibility and experiencing each situation for what it is), life will be a lot more healthy for the mind, and we can grow as individuals.

And again I agree with you – we do do so much as adults without knowing why…where did we first get those thoughts and ideas from…unconsciously picked them up from when we were kids.

And thank you too!

Wow, a comprehensive reply!

I have to say that I agree with your thoughts here. I’m a great believer that we re-create our thinking in our children – they learn this from us in spite of what we do or say!

I may even suggest that even once we get to the stage where we are adults that the things we do unconsciously (perhaps those learned in childhood) we are not responsible for. We are perhaps responsible for being aware that we have these things, but only if we are aware!

It reminds me of the “Twinkie defence” where some biological factor removes the defendants responsibility for a crime. It may be possible to argue that we are not responsible for anything we do that unconsciously.

Thanks for the reply – I’ll write some more thoughts in my blog on this later and link back to this article.
