Cause and Effect. Unending cycles. Universally accepted law. How do we truly realize that significance. Many would have us believe that, humans are toys created by God – for his enjoyment. How utterly naive.
God has not made us just his playthings. He has given us freedom – to choose. Between right and wrong, between good and bad, between joy and despair, between positives and negativity – every moment of our life.
Why then, are we letting our life run on autopilot mode? With hardly any conscious acknowledgement. Falling into patterns, unbreakable spirals and loops. Subconsciously, repeating the same but expecting changed results. Awaiting different effect.
Take a few moments to pause, reflect, think. What did you just do? The action. Was it conscious or reflex? Active thinking or reactive?
Know and believe. You can stop. You can change. You have the choice. You don’t have to blindly follow the emotional and mental dictates arising from habits and reactions.
Create your future. You are responsible for the effect. And therefore you can influence the cause. Changing the course of the next cause – effect cycle.
It is all your thoughts and your beliefs and your active conscious awareness !
“Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
