What Are You Creating With Your Life?

Today we're going on an inner journey. It is one that will require thought and reflection. So if you're reading from work or with a lot of noise or activity around you, you might want to print this out so you can consider it more deeply when you can get some quiet time.

Together we're going to look at what life is really bringing you. Because that's where you must start if you're to get what you really want.

Perhaps the answers will be obvious, but I encourage you to reflect on them, and allow yourself to question whether something else lies deeper, below the surface of your awareness.

Let us begin.

How would you describe the life that you have lived so far? What terms would you use? And what is the perspective from which you see it?

What is your relationship to your life? Is it happening to you? Or are you happening to it?

Heavy stuff. It might even make you squirm.

I wish we could stop there, but there's a whole lot more inner ground to cover. And taking a few more steps today might help you get more from what you've done so far.

Are you up to it? If so, let's try a little more.

What are the patterns and characteristics with which you have gone about your affairs? How have they affected the way things turned out? Or evolved over the years?

What are the ones you're living with now? How to they impact the experiences you're getting, or trying to create?
