The Stars are Realigned ?

Have you noticed a change in your perspective and in those around you lately? Do you notice a more positive feeling ? In the last few months did there not seem to be many challenges for us personally, in the village, city, country and world? So many issues that needed our attention many of which we had no control over?

Some said it was the planets in retrograde: colliding, overlapping or overpowering one another. Others said that God(s) were more angry with us than usual, still others that we are not supposed to be happy by some design of nature, God(s) or the universe.

Let me ask ? Do any of the above reasons seem real when you see them in the stark reality of the written word?

I offer a different perspective. The time period mentioned above is subjective. One can pick any time and decide whether things are going well or not. That said, try this: WE CREATE OUR OWN REALITIES.

Here is how we do it:

EXPECTATIONS: THOSE OUT COMES WE DESIRE OR EXPECT
LEAD TO
PERSPECTIVE: THE WAY WE VIEW A SITUATION BASED UPON PAST EXPERIENCE AND OUT COMES
LEADS TO
PERCEPTION: THE MENTAL ROAD MAP OF HOW TO PROCEED IN A GIVEN SITUATION
LEADS TO
BEHAVIOR: WHAT YOU DO
LEADS TO
REALITY: THAT WHICH YOU AND OTHERS EXPERIENCE
LEADS TO
OUT COMES: THAT WHICH YOU GET


Okay, what if you don't like the out comes? Change either your EXPECTATIONS or if you are courageous, CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE-THE WAY YOU VIEW A SITUATION!

Last evening I attended the 10th anniversary celebration of Breakthrough New York's success. Check them out at www.breakthroughnewyork.org.

A young Wesleyan University student described her experiences growing up in the New York City area among poor and downwardly mobile people with out hope. For example, both her father and uncle were murdered on the streets of their neighborhood within a year.

She decided that she could change her reality by changing her perspective. She found Breakthrough New York and went to work. Over the next few years she created POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS, CHOSE A PERSPECTIVE FOR SUCCESS, CHOSE A POSITIVE PERCEPTION AND FINALLY, WINNING BEHAVIOR.

You had to be there folks to hear this story to understand the strength this and all humans have. She ended with a quote that said, in essence, it is not so much your out comes that determine your life; but what you do with the out comes.


Think about it folks, we do create our own realities which is more acceptable than thinking the stars, Gods, universe or worse yet the tyrants of the world are in control.
