The Universe is watching :-0

I received this email message and I would like to comment on some of the ideas contained within.The message is in italics my thoughts are not. The idea of the universe watching us and helping shape our lives is an interesting idea.

Having the courage and patience to put out the vibrations of what you desire as to opposed to where you are in the present, is the hardest thing you will ever have to do. Keep in mind WHERE you are and WHO you are in your life right now is based on your past intentions, thoughts, feeling and actions. Choice Theory says that you can change your future by changing your current thoughts, feelings and actions.

The idea that who we are currently is a result of past thoughts, intentions, feelings and actions is interesting. The idea that we can control our future by changing our thoughts, feelings, in my mind puts way too much influence on the role of the individual and does not take into account societal influences. Our actions can help determine some parts of our future if other influences are on our side as well.

Remember that your current life situation is nothing more than the outcome of past thoughts, feelings and actions influenced by the societal factors that surround us. The past has little to do with what you are capable of now, or who you are capable of becoming in the future unless you continue to make decisions based on how you viewed yourself in the past. If you do, you will continue to create the same situations over and over again in your life.

Here is an another way of looking at your life. If you look at your current situation, you can see what you have been up to for the past five years or so. What you have been thinking, feeling and acting upon is reflected in your current situation. Look at your body, your bank account, your house, your car, your relationships, your job, because your situation is nothing more than a feedback mechanism - a mirror of what you have been thinking, feeling and acting.

Think about a mirror for a moment. A mirror does not judge, it does not say if something is "good" or "bad", "right" or "wrong". It does not edit or delete. A mirror just reflects back whatever is put in front of it.

Looking at one's situation through a mirror reflects back to us what we are doing. When we look at the mirror we can take individual responsibility for our situation and we can see that we are the only higher power that will sweep us up to success. The questions that spring to my mind are can we overcome the societal forces that influence us and do we have the ability to influence our vision of reality? Reality can be defined as follows: Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. 

When I view my life situation in the mirror, do Do I get upset when I experience less than pleasing results? Absolutely.But now I realise that the mirror is a reflection of my life's choices and I can use the reflection I see as a wake-up call to find a better way. And I always find a better way, because I am looking for it. You can do the same.

Life opportunities are all around us, but many of us do not have the ability to see these opportunities, because of the paradigm in which we live our life's. It is not easy to change that paradigm, it is hard work and will take a long time and without help, some of us will not change, but with help,  all of us can change
