Khrystism #543: Choose your own adventure

"If you don't create the reality you WANT, you'll get the reality you expect." --Me

Essentially what I mean by this is that we choose the occurrences and outcome of every little thing in our lives whether we realize we are making those choices or not. Our subconscious mind works off our expectations, and those expectations may or may not be real or rational in the context of the current situational choice, and they may or may not line up with what we actually want to happen as a result of this situation. So if we don't make those choices consciously towards the end we WANT, then by default we make them unconsciously (or subconsciously) towards the end we expect.

If we don't own up to the choice we are making and take responsibility for it by bringing it into our conscious mind, then we will end up *inadvertently directing the situation* towards the end that our subconscious mind believes is inevitable.

For example, say you are interviewing for a job you really want but don't think you can get (or don't feel you're qualified for, etc). The fact that you don't believe you can get the job or *should* get the job might very well lead you to do/say a million small subtle things that convey to the interviewer that you are not the right person for the position. Simply because YOU don't believe you're right for the position. Stop that. Choose instead to show them the best possible person you can be, and they will see exactly that. And leave it up to them to do their job and decide whether they think you can do the job you're interviewing for, or if you're actually better for that new position they're opening up that they haven't even posted yet!

To paraphrase: If we actively create the reality we want and know to be possible, we can stop ourselves from instead working towards the reality we subconsciously expect.

Note: This is a revisit of a concept originally posted in Nov 2009. It's a lesson I need to revisit often. ;)
