Who is making our decisions? (from Hazeldon)
Nothing external to us has any meaning except what
we bring to it. Therefore, if a problem arises, we
have to look solely at ourselves. The advantage is
we need look only to ourselves if we want to change
our lives. Playing the waiting game, as many of us
have done--waiting for people to change, waiting
for circumstances to change, waiting for
expectations to change--need not detain us any
longer. If we want anything to be different, let's get
moving!
Making changes is not complicated, unless it's
another person we want to change. That's an
impossibility. However, we will discover how
changed they will seem when we make a change in
ourselves. Whatever we see in others depends on
how we look at them, and which inner eye we look
through. This principle is set.
Who we put in charge of how we see today will
determine everything: the situations that arise, the
actions we take, and the decisions we make. It's a
monumental choice.
I will be thoughtful about my choices today. If I
want a good day, I'll rely on the Holy Spirit.
