Use Or Be Used

MAP

Can we be more specific on how to use life rather than be used by life?

You are never used by life.  That is only your perception.



At times you feel like life is pushing on you, pressing down from all sides and causes you to do things you don’t want to do.

You feel like a caged animal that just wants to break from the situation. 



While this is not true, it does not help that you still feel this way.

This is when experience tells you something that is not really true.  Your interpretation of the events are false.

You feel like you are at the mercy of all things out of your control.  You see yourself being used by life and all that is around you.

Simply put, you are reacting to life, your environment, your thoughts and beliefs.

You feel like you are being used.



To use life is to turn that all around.

Instead of seeing all that power and forces working against you, put that power and forces to work for you.

Turn reaction into creation.

You really are doing the same thing in both situations but your awareness and intent change everything.



Life responds to you whether you are aware of it or not.  Your perceptions of life bearing down on you are exactly that – perceptions of you.

Some of the things that appear in your life are of your own doing – unaware doing – but your own doing nonetheless.

Other things that  happen to you are merely how you choose to see the situation – unaware choosing – but your choosing nonetheless.



You can turn around any situation in an instant by seeing it anew.

See through another’s eyes at first if you must.  See from another walking in your shoes.

Why did they laugh when you cried?  Why did they walk on by when you were stuck?



To harness the power of life is to decide what you want, to intend the path before you.

Do not narrow your vision so as to miss what is before you – those blinders are just another part of the unaware.

If you can see something in such great detail there is no reason for doubt, then it will appear as such.  But be very clear there is not a hint of doubt or room for something else to show up.

You can have everything you desire from a place of crystal clear clarity.

And you will be surprised how little that truly is.



The two will not exist with each other – unless you decide to create not knowing.  That is a whole different ball game.



As for a simple answer to your question, always remember:

To react is to be used.  To use is to create.

Your power is there waiting for you.  Use away.
