Choices Vs Circumstances……

A talk with old friend is a treasure for keeps. Recently I had some good time talking with old friends. Its an Ahhaa….. experience always. These are the talks which take you deep inside yourself. Friends turn out to be catalyst in our journey towards our Real Self.

Surprisingly, I had two such talks last week after a long long time with two of my dear oldies. The peculiar thing about both the talks is that it got focused around a topic Choice Vs Circumstances, as if the super power was delivering my lectures through these two bodies. What a learning experience!!!

I got treasure out of them. Now since its a treasure I must preserve it and this is how it goes….

We realized that C&C is a great concept to apply in our lives. As per this concept choice and circumstance are just two sides of the coin. And coin always has a value irrespective of the visible side.

Just like a coin is minted, The Dear Almighty keeps on minting values for us in form of events in our lives. Theses events are preplanned and well engineered and more than that very well executed by HIM to add value to our lives. To execute these events people around us are selected and given the task. People around us only follow the guidelines. The beauty is they are not aware that they are following an already written script.

Now its up to us to see those events as Choice or as Circumstance. When we take those events as our choices we are enjoying the minting process and we are the King of our lives and when we take ourselves as victims we are seeing it as a circumstance and there starts all the misery, we become poor victims and cry babies.

Now the question comes what is required to convert the life events to Choice ? And here came the answer from our deeper Self. The total acceptance of ourselves, the unconditional love for our self and the trust in the Almighty are the three ingredients of converting life events to choice. After all, who declares that we are victims? Its our mind that declares that we are victims.  A mind trained for a life of misery has this common symptom. So a mind which needs to be trained for life of a King is a positive mind which will reject the idea of circumstances and accept the idea of Choice.

We need to love ourselves to accept all our shortcomings. A loving self tells to oneself “You are my dear with all the pitfalls….don’t worry if you are not perfect. ‘I’ am perfect and ‘I’ will take you to that level of perfection”.

So my friends thanks to give me this philosophy of happy life……
