\"IMG_0993\"<\/a>Most of us are unaware of our power to create our experiences.
\nWe have been templated to give our power away.
\nWe have tended to think about our life backwards<\/em><\/strong>.
\nNot uncommon to believe our self is a reflection of our experiences.
\nWhat if our experiences are a reflection of our consciousness?
\nI believe this is the case.
\nIt is common to misinterpret, fail to understand our own responsibility in our experiences.
\nA subtle shift in focus can have a big impact.
\nRather than telling a play-by-play of our experience, it will be more powerful to focus on what we want in our experience.
\nWhat within our experience matches our desires and dreams?
\nTake notice. \u00a0That is an optimal thing to talk about.
\nAsk: “Am I seeing my situation clearly?”
\n“Am I seeing my situation optimally?”
\nIt is far better to not think about your present situation at all than to talk about the elements that do not match your desires and dreams.
\nChoose your focus.
\nIt sounds almost too simple to be true.
\nIt is simple.
\nIt is true.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0997\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leave the questions unanswered.
\nBe willing to not know.
\nThese are very difficult questions.
\nIn a way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To ask the questions with no desire to answer those questions is a powerfully creative state of mind.
\nKeep asking questions.
\nWhat could I do to understand my situation more clearly?
\nWhat could I do to understand my situation optimally?
\nHow could I optimize the way I interpret my situation?
\nIs there someone I could collaborate with who might give me a valuable perspective to consider?
\nRemember… Leave the questions unanswered.
\nThis generates a state of allowing the shifts into, or at least closer to, the dream<\/em><\/strong>.
\n<\/em>OR
\nSimply keep dreaming up how you want your situation to be.
\nDream up how you want your situation to feel.
\nDream up how you want to live your life.\"IMG_0976\"<\/a>
\nDream up the type of people who you would share your life with.
\nTo be specific <\/em>might be suboptimal.
\nMight just as well be optimal.
\nTo honor and respect the free will of everyone else is a more harmonious path.
\nCommonly, we do get attached to specific people.
\nNo problem.
\nKeep an eye on how that works for you.
\nMartyrdom is so<\/strong> last millenium.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watch carefully for inspiration towards fulfilling the dream … the dreams.
\nThe tiniest step.
\nThe most subtle of inspirations.
\nGuides you in the right direction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Might ask:
\nDo I feel like I am on the right path now?
\nCould this be a step in the direction of fulfilling my life purpose?
\nAn implication here is that you have aligned with your life’s purpose.
\nAnd if you have not yet aligned with your life purpose,
\nFocusing your questions and attention on the important discovery of your life purpose is optimal.
\n\"IMG_0978\"<\/a>BEFORE … Anything. Else.
\nIt might be easier said than done.
\nChoices. \u00a0Choices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bottom line is:
\nGet off of your own back.
\nGet out of your own way.
\nBe aware of how you are telling your story.
\nAre you creating a story that is sabotaging your dreams?
\nFor your sake.
\nI hope not.<\/p>\n

How We Create Our Own Stories<\/a>….. <\/strong>By Sarah Johnson.
\nWhile watching, I stopped the video and dictated the above into my ipad while sitting in the sun on my back deck.
\nSarah encourages us to consider how we tell our story.
\nI had been toying with this already.
\nCame\u00a0to nearly identical conclusions.
\nThis may be an oversimplification.
\nYet worth a thought.
\nEngineering a life.
\nA big task.
\nFun. Fulfilling. Challenging. Etc.
\n…when you are intending it optimally.
