You often hear, your thoughts create your reality.
I used to call bullshit on that statement because many people sit and think about being rich, free and influential…and they still aren’t.
I said, “used to.”
When I reflect on what I used to “think” about being…
- successful
- happy
- safe
- secure
I “finally” am…
That’s the part I had to reconcile.
It’s not what you’re thinking in the moment and hoping/praying to “manifest” it in the next minute, hour, day or week.
It’s what you’re thinking, in earnest, and allowing yourself to be inspired to make it happen.
It’s being willing to “think” of yourself on your own terms and by your own definitions.
So Buddha is “right on,” but just give it time to show up…it always does in one form or another.
