DEFINE YOUR REALITY

I don’t know what prompted you to take your course now. But then, I’d like to believe that you’ve been firm to stand by your decision. When you’re in a crossroad, don’t take this as a threat but an opportunity for you to make a better decision, in case your previous decision didn’t work out the way you want it.

Let’s try to answer some questions that may help us review the past. Once we knew exactly where we’re coming from, it’s so easy to identify where we are going. By answering these questions, we can create something that may shape your personal reality.

I’ve always believed that every human being has his or her own personal reality. Whatever reality you have in you is different from others. Our reality varies depending on our perception of the world and the events that happen to us.

What is it really that you want to achieve in your life? What do you love doing? What are you passionate about? How do you want to see yourself in five years? How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave the world?

Once answered, you can now decide which road to take.

You need to have a conversation with your self from time to time. You need to ask your self some questions and answer them to the best of your ability. Your answer to your questions may lead you to a place where you want yourself to be. Sometimes, people tend to talk and talk and talk. They don’t listen to what their heart is telling them. As a result, they fail to find the reason that eventually prevent them from finding the answer.

Your personal reality is shaped by your perception of the world. If it is money that you want to have, don’t look for the money. Look for the ways where money will be attracted to you instead. You can only possess whatever it is that you want if you become the person deserving to have it.

Life gives not to the needy. It gives to the deserved. Many of us want a new car or a home. But if we’re not going to work for it, then we can’t have it. If you want to be successful, you need to refine your perception of the world. You need to find time to perfectly define your personal reality.

Give it your best shot. Plan. Plan. Plan. Execute your plan. Don’t let other people’s reality become your reality. For one who doesn’t have his own reality can never be happy.
