Embrace Change: The Power of Decisions in Your Life Journey
Written on
Chapter 1: The Illusion of Tomorrow
How often have you promised yourself, "I'll start on Monday," or "I'll wait for the New Year"? These declarations frequently lead to disappointment and frustration. However, the real issue goes beyond mere frustration. When you fail to honor these commitments, you may begin to internalize the damaging belief that change is unattainable or that you are destined to remain as you are forever. This mindset leads to a false identity: "That's just who I am; I can't change!"
Let me assure you, that is not the truth, and transformation is entirely possible. If I can do it, so can you. We possess a unique capability among all beings—the "divine" ability to make choices. This is our greatest gift; our thoughts shape our reality, and because we can think freely, we can also become whoever we wish to be. Unfortunately, many people fail to harness this potential, but that’s another matter.
A person isn't defined by their thoughts; rather, they evolve into what they consistently think. You are separate from your thoughts—if you were not, you wouldn't even be aware of what you’re thinking. The beauty lies in your power to select your thoughts, which means you can shape your identity.
Let’s revisit the problematic nature of the phrases commonly spoken. One fundamental truth is that decisions cannot be postponed to a future date. Why? Because the future is merely an illusion. It doesn't exist. When we talk about deciding for the future, we need to realize that the future will only materialize in the moment we choose to act. To put it differently, if we fail to take action now, we may never do so. The only moment we truly possess is the present.
We should focus on the present, for it's the only time we can be certain of our existence. The past and future are constructs of our minds, devoid of tangible reality.
So, remember this: whenever you feel compelled to make a decision or take action, the optimal time to do so is NOW. The present moment is the gateway to achieving your desires tomorrow, next week, or even next year. If you don't seize the moment NOW, when will you?
