No matter how our life looks like right now, we can always choose to do or not do something. We have choices. Even when the options are limited.
But, how do we make our choices? The environment surely drives us somehow, whether through memories and thoughts we got in the past, or through the present moment. The mind can be tricky. Sometimes we can imagine: "Are we actually choosing what we want to do?". This question is interesting. It is a fair question when we realize that everything change us a bit. Every single situation.
The answer to that question, I'd say, it is "yes", we do, because we are what we are because of the environment where we lived or are living. Our minds have been changing since we were born, and this is what we are. We became what we are through good or bad experiences. We maybe were blessed more than others or less. We do not have control on it. However, as we we grow up, we get more control about what our experiences.
In fact, I believe that this exactly moment is changing you somehow. You are not only reading this text. This text is changing you. You can get motivated because of its words. You can get boring or sad. You can even think that all these stuffs are a big shit. However, the truth is that this text is now an experience you come across with.
The key questions, in my view, are: "How big is the change of the situation we live?" and "How much impact each experience we live have in our lives?"
I think that some experiences have a high impact itself. Too many impact is important to change us. Sometimes the potential of changing of a very short experience is so high that can change us immediately. Nevertheless, I think that this kind of experiences is rare.
Knowing that experiences can change us and that the impact and power of changing of them are variable, the next precious question is: "How do we achieve what we wish?". With this question, I want to say everything you want. Your dream.
First, we need to create a situation, an experience we can go through in order to get this purpose. But the main ingredient, I'd say, is consistence! Yes, consistence. You know, in the most part of the time, which path you need to thrill, but you do not keep walking, sometimes you do not even go to the beginning of the way.
Consistence is a pretty word. Sadly, it is a rare word in my vocabulary, maybe the same to you. I'll explain it.
These last days, these last years, I have been living everything, but nothing. I read a lot, I traveled, I learnt new things. But every single thing I do was temporary. Too much excitement, but no consistence. What is the point in taking watercolor classes, if I will forget and practice yoga next week, instead of painting? Worst, what is the point of practicing yoga, if I will forget yoga and practice acoustic guitar and forget yoga?
I know, we want to try everything. But is it the right thing to do? Focusing on less things could be, certainly, healthier and fruitful. For sure. Imagine, for a moment, people you have admiration for. People who succeed. Have they succeed doing something consistently?
If you want to get into shape, you need to do exercises a lot and eat very healthy food. But the power of changing of this is not high, but you can boost this power if you make it with consistence. This is only an example that can be applied to any wish.
Our life is our choices, but also our consistence in that choices. Consistence is focus. Consistence is a boost for our experiences.
