Dispute

.
Perhaps the biggest dispute in this new age with its new way of thinking is the concept that we create our own lives.

Lets face it; that is a lot if responsibility!
Because if for a moment we assume that this concept is true, then…
We create our own happiness or unhappiness.
We create/manifest the things we need and desire in our lives.
We manifest our own life-lessons in our lives, even when that means we find ourselves in unpleasant or dangerous situations, in other words, whatever happens to us ~ good or bad ~ is of our own creation.

The list no doubt is longer than this, but you get the concept…
It also means that ‘luck’ is out of the picture. Whenever things fall into place in an even better way we had ever imagined, chances are we have worked hard to achieve it in the first place!

It implies that it doesn’t make sense any longer to lay the blame for things that are happening to us elsewhere; be it with other people, with insurance companies, with the government… (Bummer!) Yet it also means that we have the capabilities to turn things around, choose a different direction in life and bring more happiness, more love, and yes, greater health into our lives. WE can do that, as long as WE take responsibility for the full package that is our life.

And that is where the dispute comes up. Because we cannot influence the people that are around us. So if an irresponsible driver cuts us off on the freeway and causes an accident that we end up being involved in ~ how is that our responsibility in the first place? WE didn’t cut anybody off; WE didn’t cause the accident. It is not our fault…
And while all of these things are true, the question in this point of time that lingers is: “Then why did we create that accident in our lives?” Why, even though from a legal perspective it was’t our fault, do we put ourselves in a position where it all needs to be sorted out, with the added hassle of getting our car repaired etc.?

And before you think to yourself: “Well, I wouldn’t do that”, think again…
Could it be that you were busy solving other people’s problems when it happened? Could it be that you have a slight inability to stand your ground, so people ‘walk all over you’ as a figure of speech? Or were you having too much on your plate between work, chores, family etc. and did you ‘invite’ some kind of intervention in order to focus on what is truly important in life?

As time goes on, chances are it is a dispute that is going to be argued within ourselves rather than in the world around us…
