Summary, etc. | Living the life you want: what does this mean to you? Is it<br/>possible ? is it available to some people but not others? What <br/>are the differences between those who do and those who do not<br/>live the life they actually want to live?<br/>We would argue that you can have exactly what you want in<br/>life if you also believe in that. Your beliefs play the biggest part<br/>in creating your reality. Most of us are taught to think much<br/>more in terms of limitation and low self-worth than we realise<br/>until we start to ask questions. Do we deserve a better life? Or<br/>do we get the life we deserve because that is what we believe we<br/>are entitled to? That is, we get what we envisage life holds for<br/>a<br/>us.<br/>Can positive thinking really make all the difference? Do<br/>what<br/>you think and believe really affect the daily realities of<br/>life? Most of the spiritual psychologies say all of this, and more,<br/>is possible if you learn to explore your own consciousness and<br/>see what is really lying there.<br/>For my parents' generation, to seek psychological analysis<br/>was to admit that 'you had something wrong with you'. To be<br/>introspective was to be selfish and self-indulgent. The middle-<br/>aged hippy generation of today grew up believing that all you<br/>needed was love. The trouble was they thought love meant<br/>specific types of behaviour, free sexual expression, breaking<br/>down old systems, old attitudes and old beliefs. That was<br/>throwing the baby out with the bath water. No generation gets<br/>it all wrong and none so far in history has got it all right.<br/>Recent changes in thinking show more and more people<br/>recognising they do have real choices in life. We can now<br/>choose many different lifestyles in western society without<br/>being deemed deviant. We have the notion of consumer choice<br/>and have had our eyes opened to the psychological tricks used<br/>in marketing. We have seen more people seeking a spiritual<br/>identity away from the traditional religious structures. We have<br/>recognised that war and aggression achieve little and now talk<br/>in terms of keeping the peace. The whole thinking<br/>society is slowly turning.<br/>Society is made up of people - you and me so if we<br/>thinking of our<br/>change our own inner structures, the social structure in whic<br/>we live will also change. Many have called this the new age of<br/>enlightenment, but as many traditions teach "before<br/>enlightenment, wash dishes and sweep floors, after<br/>enlightenment, wash dishes and sweep floors. The difference is<br/>in the feelings we have towards what we do in life, how we do<br/>it and if we are doing what is right for us.<br/>If society is made up of us all, everything we do affects<br/>everyone else equally. Everything is interrelated. It's rather like<br/>when are at school and the whole class is put into detention<br/>because one classmate will not own up to hiding the board<br/>rubber from the teacher. One person does not have the courage<br/>to admit they made a mistake and accept responsibility for<br/>their own behaviour so the rest of us suffer. Unless, that is, we<br/>all start telling the truth. No one wants to be the first to tell<br/>our mates they need to change. We have no right to, either.<br/>But we can change our selves and act as examples of how<br/>change brings benefits beyond comparison into our lives.<br/>It is up to each and every one of us to stop blaming the<br/>people around us for our limitations in life and to start creating<br/>the life we really want to live. It might not be easy, it might<br/>take some time, but anything really worth having is worth<br/>Dutting some effort into, and that starts with recognising that<br/>vour life is worth it too. This book cannot tell you everything<br/>of or do it for you, but it oes provide most of the directions and<br/>perspectives that will enabl you to make real changes in your<br/>own life - because we are all worth it. |
