Default Re: Why You Don't Create Your Own Reality!

You don't create your own reality any more than you create anybody elses reality.

The only thing you control is your response to the circumstance presented to you. Are you being presented an opportunity, an obstacle, or a bit of both? Or is it worth even dwelling on?

To believe that you have ultimate control, you must also believe you have ultimate responsibility and therefore should suffer guilt for everything that isn't to your own personal, self-serving benefit. This results in a whole lot cyclical navel gazing.

The "you create your own reality" rhetoric is a trap to keep you distracted from service to others.
