Last night I woke up a few times with very strong feelings between Character and the Situation.
That most often we blame the situation rather than blame our selves and the lack or the choice of action we took in each situation.
There seems to be this wide separation in our thought patterns that has us victims of circumstances rather than participants in our lives.
We don't arrive with Character, but rather over time and through the valleys and mountains in our lives we begin to layer who we are by what we do.
Oddly enough, we somehow tend to NOT believe who others are, we keep blaming the circumstance rather than the character.
The circumstance is often times the accumulation of past events coming home to roost, it is not just a wild card that happened into our lives…
The Universe is the perfect score keeper and it never lets us get away with anything, the 'karma' deal is right on. We do indeed reap what we sow and the longer we put off harvesting, the bigger the crop we have to tend to when we finally get around to seeing what we planted.
What I am here to tell you is you can't plant denial and pull up honesty.
You can't spread seeds of bullying and come up with people who don't fear you.
How you move in the world echoes back your own energy.
Each moment of today is laying the carpet of tomorrow.
There is no vengeful God or evil Universe, there is just you tossing the ball against the wall of the Universe, you will get back what you put out.
There are no mistakes.
Truth will reflect back truth.
Deceit will conjure up relationships minus the truth.
It all begins with you.
You are the common denominator in all things. The world truly does revolve around you.
There are a billion places you can find people behaving badly but all that truly matters in your life is you.
Victims focus on what others need to do in order for them to find peace.
You will know you are no longer a victim when you can find peace in the midst of others behaving badly.
If my happiness depended upon my mother and father healing, I would be a victim of their lives. Instead, I put my wellness in my own hands. I looked in my own life and saw combinations of their dysfunction littered everywhere, and that is where I began.
In each moment of time, I looked at what I was believing or thinking, and then how I acted….did they match or was I a walking contradiction like them; partly truth and partly fiction?
Character can survive any situation if all it wants is truth.

Choices we make.
What I want to know is do we all have the same choices and the same mechanism that selects them?
Is it possible that some of us have choices while others do not?
What makes some of us change our choices and others continue selecting the same ones over and over like ordering the same thing from the menu of life?
Is there a moment in time when all the choices we have been selecting seem distasteful and we then meander to another part of the menu?
What happens to us inside that creates the desire for something new?
Something changes inside of us, something happens to the mechanism that chooses.
Looking back with 20/20 vision, I can see how a new truth landed inside of me, demolishing my old choice maker.
All my old choices seemed useless, inauthentic and utterly distasteful.
Those choices created an illusion that deflected reality.
In order to walk hand in hand with the truth of reality I had to change all my choices.So, was it that choices were limited before or was the truth limited?
Was my mechanism broken or designed to create illusion?
Is it possible that we choose based upon our level of awareness, that the choices are always there, we just are unaware?
All I can know is that my choices are just as limited now, for I feel akin to sticking with my truths, to being authentic with my feelings, to aligning myself with reality.
My old options are still available but I have lost the taste for them.
Guess at the end of the day we all make choices based upon what we know, what we feel and our own inner truths.
It isn’t that the choices are limited; it is that we limit our choices.
And each of our lives is reflected of the choices we make.
