“It’s my belief that history is a wheel. “Inconsistency is my very essence” -says the wheel- “Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don’t complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away”
-Boethius (c. a.d. 475-525) ”

Life is a wheel of happiness, and sadness good and bad fortune.. The key to this life is to rise up on it’s spokes, but not to let falling back into the depths have too strong of a surprise of effect on you.. because the wheel will turn upward again.. as it always does..

Thanks for your insightful comments. Choices are at the heart of attracting and creating a better you.

I agree that “feel good mumbo-jumbo philosophies” will not get you very far. Success in life takes courage and it takes work. The result is worth every effort. May you continue to “live, laugh, love, and learn”,

I agree with you completely. I always look for ways to get something positive out of every experience. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution.

I believe that some peoples lives are a disaster largely because of the decisions they have and haven’t made, and the things they have and haven’t done.

It’s about choices.
Simple.

“If you decide to do different, think different, react different, eat different, live different and communicate different…. you’ll be different.”

Better.
Leaner.
Lighter.
Healthier.
Excited.
Happy.
Fulfilled.
Content.

“But creating your best life has nothing to do with destiny… and everything to do with decisions.”

People sprinkle conversations with terms like destiny, fate, chance and luck, so they don’t actually have to take responsiblity for their reality.

Historically, now or in the future.

If destiny is some pre-ordained series of events, circumstances, situations and experiences which are to ‘happen to us’ over the course of our lifetime, then we don’t actually have to do anything…. because whatever will be, will be.

It’s all beyond our control anyway.

Pathetic.

Sometimes we romanticise our existence here on the big green ball with fluffy, vague, feel-good, mumbo-jumbo philosophies.

And in doing so we:

Fail to deal with realities of the human experience.
Fail to scrape our knees and learn.
Fail to feel and experience all life has to offer.
Fail to be responsible for our own journey.
Fail to grow as we could and should.
Fail to live, laugh, love and learn.

Keep up the great writing Patricia!

I think that this is one of the most telling statements about how to deliberately create your life rather than just reacting to what you are given:

“You may not be able to control the circumstances around you, but you can control your attitude, your thoughts, and your stance as you face life.”

Some people have this misconception that just because they can “think positive” that negative situations will never be a a part of their life, but that is very unlikely. However, by handling a negative situation in a positive manner, it will have a significantly smaller negative impact, and in most cases you can even turn it into something positive.

Great quote, Patricia.
