It is not what happens to each of us that determines how much we enjoy life, but rather our reaction to what happens. Though we may have no choice in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in how we interpret what happens, and in what we choose to do about it. We can always choose to be either a victim or a creator. This key choice makes all the difference in how much joy we experience in life. Even what we own do not play a major role in how much we enjoy life. One person with all the money and possessions in the world may have a miserable life, while another in the lowest income bracket may absolutely love their life. It is what we do with what we own that affects our level of satisfaction and joy in life. Its not what you possess or what happens to you in life that matters, but rather what you do with it. You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or to be a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and harsh place. They did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. They are wrong and bad, and life is rotten as long as they are around. They might be one or more individuals in your family or community. It might be the terrible politicians or your boss or the evil cabal of the power elite that rules the world. You may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. The essence is that victims feel a need to blame someone for all their problems, whether it is themselves or others, because that someone is ruining their lives and world. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame and make yourself or others wrong. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know that there are powerful individuals and groups who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know that they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Creators feel no need to blame anyone as they know that whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. Victims relish in anger, revenge, guilt, and other emotions and behaviors but Creators consciously choose love, empowerment and inspiration and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them to continually create the lives and world they want to live in. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. From the perspective of enjoyment of life, they hardly live in the same world. Yet whether they know it or not, both victim and creator always have choice in each moment to determine the direction of their lives through what they choose to do with what they are given. In reality, all of us play the victim and all of us play the creator at various points in our lives. Thus, we should be aware of any at a particular time and balance them up to create a promise-land for ourselves. Admin: Krackz
