7 January 2019 — THE POINT OF POWER IS NOW -THOUGHT FOR TODAY

WHAT YOU MEET IN LIFE IS DESTINY — HOW YOU MEET IT IS SELF EFFORT

Well, it does seem difficult to accept that it is destiny when someone dies unexpectedly, or when one has an accident, or when one is being bullied by one’s boss etc etc but who can argue with the concept that how one meets it is one’s choice ie SELF EFFORT.

However, we all do have what has been termed a ‘critical parent’ voice in our heads which will be inclined to accredit blame either to ourselves or others in the manner of our socialisation. Blaming our ‘self’ or others doesn’t help, neither does trying to find a reason why it has happened to us. As a follower of Buddhist philosophy I tell myself that it must be karma which I see as being the same as ‘destiny’. Also of course there is my belief that one’s thoughts create one’s reality. THE POINT OF POWER IS ours when we are able to be happy in the moment and that can mean making the choice to consciously think of situations which make us smile and feel good and making the choice NOT to dwell on circumstances which make us sad or angry but to MOVE ON once we have experienced the feelings which arise.
