To be or not to be? There's no option

Mike told me this. He said life’s the ultimate adventure because thoughts become things, dreams come true and all things remain forever possible.
The man makes me think. Always. All that thinking led to a very strong realization. You, me, him, her… we’re all here for a reason. And while each of our individual reasons may vary, the umbrella under which our reasons reside remains the same. We’re all here to be.
To be who or what we want to be. As long as we don’t give up on being, we’ll be fine.
It’s the key to life. To learn to be. To be happy, To be thankful, To be love and be loved. To be at peace. To be rich, famous, successful. To be the person we want to be. Whatever the goal, wherever the journey leads, whatever your chosen outcome, it all begins with being.
Start living your life now. Live it like you own it. You are the reason for life’s being. Without you, there would be no ‘your life’. So let it be, don’t worry about the hows and whats and why. Focus on the dream, live the dream, desire it, own it, give thanks for it. Then watch the universe conspire in your favour to bring that dream to realisation. Reverse the order of the conscious mind. The conscious mind will give you a long and winding road to travel. Thought, followed by desire, wishfulness, prayer, test of patience, depression, struggle, endurance, hardship, then manifestation and gratitude.
Bollocks. Your mind has just gotten the better of you. It was tainted by the voice of plastic and made you walk down the manmade path of reclaimed land and factory-made rocks. But if you look carefully, there’s a little pathway with an invisible exit sign. It’s your escape route. Out that door lies another school of thought. It’s a school whose teacher is a spiritual being, it’s laws are universal and try as you may, it’s hard to prove them wrong. This school teaches you a brand new approach to being. It begins with a thought, followed by desire, demand, gratitude, manifestation. The secret law states that you need to live as though you own, before you can actually own. If you think you own, how can you not own at some point because you’re already living and giving thanks for owning it. If you believe you do, how could you not?

  1. This is another entry that I've really enjoyed.

    Yes, I look forward to engaging with your perspectives, like the one about the full moon that beams with the controversy befitting to Marilyn Monroe. Those who deny the effects of Madame Luna seem to be disconnected from the science of emotion, masqueraded as their shun of all things superstitious, pagan or hogwash.
    I am often taken by the mysterious buzz that surrounds the full moon. 1. There IS more socialising 2. Expression and emotions colour everything from clothing choice to the up-count in people changing their profile photos on FaceBook, and 3. my puffy feline becomes unusually 'animated' and holds long conversations with me.

    This entry reminded me of a quote that I wrote for a close friend - "The mind is your empire. Rule it with pride."
