You Create Your World

Last week while in a classroom at one of the different schools where I substitute teach, I read a passage posted on a bulletin board. Its message, while profound, I found it to be slightly different than the teachings of some of my own mentors.

It read, "Although your circumstances may not be your fault, they are your responsibility to overcome."

From my own life experiences and from the teachings I have received, it is true in part, but it is also a belief that can lead in a direction away from the kind of life you may want and are working hard to achieve.

The part about "your responsibility to overcome" is true enough, but the circumstances, in all probability, are also your responsibility as well in some direct or indirect manifestation due to the energy you are projecting to the universe activating the Universal Law of Attraction.

The Universal Law of Attraction, is much like a rubber band, attracting those things that your conscious mind, your feelings and yes even your subconscious, are dwelling on, with the most powerful being your subsconscious beliefs followed by your feelings.

Your subconscious beliefs are who you are. They are the set of beliefs that you have developed since birth based on your personal life experiences and your own personal interpretation of those experiences. This is what drives and runs your life and is what you use to make choices and base your decisions on.

Unfortunately, our culture has programmed most of us into believing things that are simply not true. Our life experiences, expecially when we were young, can play a major role causing us to lock onto misbeliefs that give us a profoundly distorted view of reality. Are you currently harboring a deep rooted fear such as a fear of flying, a fear of driving, or even a fear of a cat or dog or some other fear that keeps you from doing things that most consider a normal everyday activity. In most cases, they stem from a childhood event or occurance that frightened you and left an emotional scar that manifested in you a misbelief that you now harbor.

Most of us at one time or another have been confronted by someone who seems totally "out of control". A boss, a co-worker, a road rage situation, or maybe you yourself have 'lost it' and become emotionally enraged or angry. Believe it or not, it is not what happened that caused the emotional outburst, but rather an emotional pain from the past that was triggered of the person getting angry. I have heard people say, 'Yes I have hot buttons, but others keep pushing them." Unfortunately, the people you say are pushing them, are only doing what they do, but in fact you are pushing the buttons yourself, because of a sensitivity of the circumstances that is being activated by your own fears and fighting the truth of some misbelief that you have accepted as reality such as feelings of not being good enough, unworthy, being stupid, or a fear of failure or even a fear of success.

Until you uncover those distorted views and bring those distorted misbeliefs from your subconscious to your conscious and confront them as being false and detach that emotional part of the equation that is reactivating your fear, they will continue to plague you and can actually attract or bring to you those things or circumstances in your life you don't want causing tremendous suffering and heartache. They will continually keep being put "In Your Face" so to speak until they are confronted. Each time this happens and the fear is reactivated, it is a blessing in disguise, a chance for you to handle this fear once and for all so it no longer has its grip on you, and your circumstances will get better.
