Health & Hellness

you don’t even know how powerful you are.

You really have no idea, do you?

Whether you believe it or not, you create your own reality.

Yes, I know. This concept isn’t easy to grasp. Or you may think you have grasped it, it’s just a sentence, and you can comprehend it.

But….. have you let it consume you yet?

You. Create. Your. Own. Reality.

I create my own reality.

You may ask, but how do I create the reality I want? Because if that’s true, I sure don’t like how my reality looks right now. I don’t feel in control. I wake up and my reality creates me. I am a product of my environment and I don’t have much control over it.

Oh, but you do.

And it all starts with your thoughts.

From the moment you are born, you are given a reality, an environment. Your parents may provide you with a rich lifestyle where you never want for anything. Or you may be born in a poor family where you are searching for food and shelter everyday. Or maybe you’re somewhere in between. Regardless, you are placed here with a set reality from your parents.

Your parents will teach you what they think is right. They’ll put you in a school that they think will benefit you the most. They’ll feed you the best healthy foods, or they’ll feed you food they can afford. They may indoctrinate you with religion, or there might be no religious direction at all. Regardless, you are born into a reality and the people around you will try to teach you their perspective.

We are all born with a completely different perspective of this world than any other person. Not only are our appearances and finger prints unique, but so are our perspectives.

Perhaps you’ve heard the saying, “We are the universe experiencing itself.”

Say there is a car crash. You were a witness, but so were 2 other people. When asked by the police what you saw, you will present your perspective. So will the other 2 people. The likelihood of these 2 stories matching your own exactly are slim. The likelihood of those 3 stories combined with the perspective from both drivers are even less likely to match.

Why is that? Perspective.

Are all 5 people wrong because they have a different view of the accident? Are the other two witnesses liars because you KNOW your story was recounted exactly as it happened? You know YOU didn’t lie, so how could those two witnesses possibly be telling the truth?

They create a group of perspectives.

There isn’t really any right or wrong when it comes to perspective. We just have perspective.

When it comes to creating your own reality, you need to understand that your perspective needs altering. You cannot create real life-altering change if you do not adjust your perspective to align.

You cannot keep doing the same thing everyday and expect a different result. You cannot learn to read if you do not pick up a book. You also can’t learn to read without the help of other people, without admitting you do not know everything, and without humbling yourself to be able to listen and learn.

The start of being the master of your reality begins with your thoughts.

This is not for the weak-hearted, but the fact that you have made it this far in this passage, I know you are not weak.

If you accept this challenge, you’ll have wonderful times that become overshadowed with doubt. But that is that old perspective, that subconscious pattern, you have leftover from the old you that you need to squash. It might take you some time to pull yourself out of a rut, at least the first few times, but it gets easier. And as time goes on, and you continue creating, learning, and growing, your world will become a better and better place.

Simply starting this journey of creating your reality is the best thing you can do for yourself in your life.

I almost have imposter syndrome writing this because this challenge does not have a time limit. Once you begin, it is a lifelong journey, a daily choice, a love letter to yourself.

Don’t ever think for one second that you are too old or too young, too poor or too rich, too smart, or too dumb. You aren’t too busy, either. These are all just excuses for you to not be your best self and have the life that you desire most.
