Personal Meditation No. 115

“It’s not all in your mind but if you don’t control your mind, then the rest doesn’t matter.”

Embrace the Within.

A lot of my battles, a lot of your battles, are lost before they even begin. And that happens because we simply psyche ourselves out of winning and convince ourselves we’re losing. And there are a lot of reasons we can have for acting and thinking that way. And every reason is our own fault. I choose, you choose, our mindset.

We hear a lot of people talking about how they mirror the energy other people give. That the way you treat me determines the way I treat you. That it’s their fault that I acted that way. And that is an enslaved mindset. That is a mindset that takes away your personal responsibility. That is a mindset based on external controls for your personal choices. That is a mindset that points fingers rather than taking accountability.

Every bad decision, every good decision, every triumph, every failure, every win, every loss, everything about me and you is our choice. If you want to spend your time blaming others, going around life like a victim, and pointing out all the problems then you’re not going to have a shortage of company. There is a majority of folks that don’t want to own their lives, their minds, or their souls. It is much easier to blame. It is much easier to be a victim. It is much easier to be controlled.

BUT, you don’t have to live that way. You can start to make the small choices. And own them. And the more you get into the habit of making the better choices, the small choices, then the more you will get into the practice of feeling alright about bigger choices and bigger victories. You have to start programming yourself for success because no one else is going to run that program for you.

The world is filled with folks ready to take advantage of your victim mindset. They’re waiting to placate you. They’re waiting to agree that it isn’t your fault. That life has been unfair to you. That the other folks are out to get you and take away your power while along you are giving away your power. You have it inside you. You just need to embrace that power. Embrace what is within you.

It may not all be in your mind BUT you can already lose the battle before they begin just because you’re not in control of your mind. Get that body healthy. Get that mind healthy. Take yourself back? Make yourself great again?

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
