There are basically two realities in life. The first is your everyday life and all the events that affect it. The second would be your personal vision for what you really want your life to be. If both of these realities are the same, you can stop reading and go on with your life. Unfortunately, if you are like most people, there is a gap between these two concepts and you are caught somewhere in the middle.
I was taught that the human mind can only accept one perception of reality. You can not live in both realities, so your mind has to choose one. Most people choose to focus all their attention on their current situation as this makes the most sense, or does it? The day to day reality of your life is a hard place to live. There are constant problems and numerous setbacks. Things rarely go according to plan and time is a commodity in high demand. If this is the case, why choose to live in this reality? Because that is the only one you are allowing your mind to accept.
What about the other reality, your vision for what you want your life to be. You probably think of this as a dream, a far off goal you hope to obtain someday. My question is why can't this be your reality? I'm not suggesting you live in a dream world that tries to escape reality, rather keep your vision top of mind every single day of your life. Focus on treating setbacks and disappointments as stepping stones to creating a better life. Take a positive approach to challenges and turn them into opportunities. Most importantly, do not waste your time on negative energy, as this just drains you to the point of exhaustion.
Frankly, it is very easy to live in your current reality and that is why your mind wants to choose this route. It takes hard work to train your mind to live in the reality of your vision, but work that will pay untold dividends toward the quality of your life. Remember, your mind can only accept one; it is up to you to decide which one.
