“Your life as it is now has emerged from the thoughts, words, actions, beliefs, and feelings you’ve energized in the past. Although thinking about what your life has been is a good start, it’s also important to have an idea of where you want to go if you ever expect to get there. If you don’t have that focus, then rather than living a life that is self-determined, you’ll remain subject to the patterns of your past.
Only when you start to awaken to truths deeper than what your five senses reveal will you realize how you arrived at where you are today. Everything you think and do each day contributes to the stories you tell yourself about your life, which you subsequently find yourself living by, especially on a subconscious level. And the stories you tell yourself today are the scripts you’ll live by tomorrow – unless you wake up and rewrite them.
This understanding definitely motivates you to be more mindful about what you think, say, and do. This insight keeps you attentive and wise, for you learn to observe what you’re doing that creates what you don’t want and to discover how to create what you really do want instead.”
Jonathan Parker, in “The Soul Solution”
