Which one is yours?

Are you floating aimlessly, getting maneuvered by the circumstances? Or are you the one with a plan, a game plan maybe, and are moving in that focused direction? Then there will be cases who fall somewhere in between. No matter where we fit in, one thing is certain – no one wants to be wherever s/he is right now (including me!). Some people will like to go back and change something in the past that will make the present different. Others will like to have something else in the present so as to have the future of their dreams.

We all will like to have something which is not there. What is there is not good enough. Why? We hate to see anyone come and find faults with us, but we do that with our own lives. We blame circumstances, parents, friends, lack of opportunities for our current state of dissatisfaction. How about taking responsibility? Are or are we not responsible for the life we are living? Some say they would like to travel the world, if only we had enough money…How many of these people have ever inquired of a travel agent how much a ticket like that will cost? Have they bought a map and marked the places they would like to visit? If not, then let me assure you, even if you have the money, you will not travel the world. You have an idea that it will be exciting to do so. If you want to really, really, really travel, you will first have a clear picture in your head. That’s the first step!

The idea here is not to put down the value of dreaming, but to understand that the dreams have value only if they are not borrowed. Did the idea of world tour come in your head when you saw a celebrity on the TV saying so? You want to go to Tibet because Richard Gere went there? Look! Feel! Grope! And then decide if the thing that you are dreaming about is your dream or someone else’s fantasy.

My personal experience says what I wish for will come true, but in its own way, if specifications are not supplied. So if one really wants something to manifest, be as clear as you can be about the desire/need, with as much detail as possible. Also, if you are too clear cut about what you want, you may miss out on something different, maybe better, more surprising that may have otherwise come your way. So we all have to choose what way we want our lives to be. So "Beware what you wish for – it may just come true!! " :)

This means we alone, and no one else, is responsible for the life we have right now. Take the responsibility and be aware about what are you are thinking. We are thinking continuously and without realizing our craving for drama and excitement creates an amalgamation of desires, scenarios and dreams. But these desires go deep in the subconscious and bring these things towards us. So careful about what you are thinking, it may trigger desires which may be unwanted. Watch now! STOP! Be silent for one moment and see, really see, listen really listen, what does your hear, your inner voice tell you about your own dreams. Which one is yours?
