Thoughts

Once I thought you had to go get what you want from life. I am starting to ponder about this statement. Now, I am starting to believe it is not in the doing but in the creating. By this I mean what you believe you conceive ( give birth).
I was born a long time ago. LOL
I say this with mirth and in truth. I was created eons ago but have been in this life a very short time. Time is only a measurement of association.

There have been words that have dominated my life. Words no matter if positive or negative are tools of creation. Paths of creation.
The ones fed me in my youth like can't never could, forgiveness, love, work, distrust, expectation, adventure, God, family,faith and responsibility.
As I think about it, fear was also there but it was an action instead of a word. A reaction to the definition of the words that had no firm definition.
Definitions come not only from a dictionary but mostly how they are applied and experienced. Words can be confusing because of the usage and action of the ones speaking the same word.
I see a picture in my mind by association of experience of my definition of the statement and later found the word spoken had a different definition by the one speaking it.

Have you ever had a child ask why or what is this. Mostly to the point you want to say' "I already told you please don't ask me again."
Maybe this is how we first learn word definition from the ones we trust. Our parents are God's at this point, they know everything. Children are ever watchful taking in everything, learning and imitating their environment.
This is how we form our self knowledge, so when words don't meet actions we become confused. This confusion leads to feelings or emotions from a past experience similar in context but different than our experience.
Misunderstandings, anger, hate, hurt, grief, sadness, and most negatives are started by our definition of words spoken that are different than the definition we associate with the statement.
Some words are trigger words and all we hear is that one word and associate the whole conversation on this one word. An example would be, " That was a dumb thing for you to do, but you were smart to realize it."
Now if dumb is a trigger from past experience then that is all you hear and associate the statement as negative which forms negative emotions toward the person.
A problem that divides and sets up a chain reaction.
Or maybe the trigger was smart and we felt closer to the person because the definition met our picture of self and circumstance.
As we mature, we start to look at a larger picture and don't react or react as much to these triggers.
Our self image is not based on someones definition of our self. We begin to hear before forming an opinion and our choices get better.
In turn we become more conscience.
Our experiences change and harmony becomes a oneness with our environment. The way I calculate time also changes.
Now what does this have to do with " Getting what you want from life?"
To me, it means the universe supports me. I don't have to work towards a goal but accept the reality I am creating. Or what the universe sends my way to receive or discard.
Isn't that what we have been doing all along?
Accepting and rejecting but thinking others or circumstance were something to overcome or fear? Thinking we have to control our environment.
Maybe we just have to create what we want our environment to be.
Do you ever see some people who think gloom and doom and it seems like it follows them? Then, there are those that no matter what is going on seem happy and secure.
Is it raining on one more than the other?
Or is it we are creating life by the way we look at it?
My reality tells me I love and appreciate everyone and everything in my life.
Life is a journey and eternity is on going.
Thank you for being in my reality and caring enough to be who you are. You are special in my world.
