Recent Thoughts. . .

I have finally been able to take a deep breath and reflect with you.. I’ve been really excited and busy lately with my new camera, taking pictures of everything!

Anyways, here are some random bits of thoughts that have been brewing since I’ve written my last post :).

I have recently talked to a friend that was questioning the nature of reality. Is it predetermined? Are we creating it as we go along? Does it just happen to us, or are we in complete control?

Here are my thoughts on the matter:

I believe that alongside creating your own reality, what ever aspects you’ve applied to “life in general,” really only apply to your own life.

For instance, those people who believe that life is difficult, people are cruel, and the world is unjust  aren’t often swept off their feet by the overwhelming magic of good things unexpectedly happening, beautifully thriving friendships, and the feeling of being surrounded by love. However, when a person makes a shift in how they decide life is, all of the sudden their lives change accordingly. I believe we create the laws and characteristics of our lives; for instance, if we believe that love is everywhere, and that life is beautiful and simple, so it shall be.

So, with that, I do not believe that reality is pre-determined, nor do I believe that we must “find ourselves” in life, like we are so often taught to do. I do believe, however, that life is more about creating yourself.

So, what type of life are you creating?
