Life is and then we tell ourselves a story. Our experience has nothing to do with life and everything to do with our story. How freeing that realization is. You don’t have to change life all you have to do is change your story. That certainly is a lot easier than changing the world!
Happiness is a decision we make about events and not created by the events. We really can be happy regardless of what is happening in our life. We can be such experts at creating misery in our lives and the lives as those around us.
What we tell ourselves about life is based on our habitual thinking which is based on our filter system. Collected rainwater is my water source. I put it through several filters so it is drinkable. When the filters get dirty I have no water pressure. When your filter system is filled with limiting beliefs it can be difficult to create the results you want in your life.
Expanding your awareness makes clearing out your filter system much easier. Whenever you have a strong emotional reaction observe your story and ask yourself if holding onto it serves you? Is any belief, agreement or assumption worth being unhappy?
Just some food for thought.
With love and aloha,
