Choosing the bigger Happiness … (01/16/13)
“What we call fate does not come into us from the outside, but emerges from within us.” ~ R. M. Rilke
Even when it feels otherwise, it is impossible for us to ever really lose control of our lives …
I know, none if us choose what happens to us, AND YET in every moment of every one of our days, it is we and we alone who choose how that ‘what’ affects us.
When pain comes, we can either choose to focus on ourselves — and become weak & suffer, OR we can choose to focus on reaching out to others — and become Strong & filled with Peace. For the ego, life happens “to me”, and creates a helpless victim … For the conscious Soul, life happens “FOR US”, and creates a Being transcendent.
The choice is always ours to make …
Happy choosing, my Friends!
