MINDFULNESS VIDEO SERIES (12): WE HAVE A CHOICE WHAT TO FOCUS ON
- 3 years ago
We have no control over natural forces in this world, and we have very little control over other living beings. We do have some control over our bodies, but even that is limited as we cannot prevent it from aging, sometimes getting sick and ultimately expiring on us. But I do have a lot of control what I expose my mind to. Who and what do we listen to? Who do we trust and follow, and what do we believe? In other words, who do we allow to influence us?
Ultimately, we create our consciousness by what we focus on, what we meditate on, what we deem important in our lives, and by the choices we make every day.
I actually have a power to decide what the contents of my mind are going to be. I have the power to decide what actions I am going to perform in my life. And when I make excellent choices of where I am going in life and what I am doing, it has an excellent outcome. When I make poor choices, when I am moved just by temporary and often contradictory desires and by mental compulsion, it never ends well.
