Thinking Thoughts

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Our lives are a sequence of events that lead us to where we need to be.  Ever since I was a kid, I have always been intrigued about what life really is.  What is its purpose, why are we here?

Personally, I believe that we are souls that need to experience moments that would elevate our understanding and perspective of this world.  Our souls dictate where we need to be, what it needs inorder to grow.  We are where we are because that's where we need to be, that's where we want to be.Only when we learn the lessons that our current situations offer do we move on to the next experience.

This understanding is somehow magical for me.  It made me understand that everything in this earth is not just a random permutation of possible events but is actually an organized reaction to our own thoughts, which is an echo of our souls.

I remember one Cherokee tale about a battle between two wolves raging inside all of us.  One is evil, it is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego.  The other is good, it is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth.  The wolf that wins this battle, is the wolf that you feed.

This story has made me conscious about which thoughts I allow to dominate my day.  It is hard in the beginning, but when you come to that point where you become aware that your thoughts are mainly dominated by negativity, you are then able to begin the process of somehow rewiring how you think.

I know I have a long way to go before I come to a point where I am stable in my life.  The understanding that everything happens for a reason, and that our thoughts are powerful somehow enabled me to believe that the best things are yet to come.  I am joyful, I am content, and I am happy with what I have now.  I am excited for what lies ahead.  I am excited for the experiences life has to offer.  Think happy, be happy. :)
