CREATING MY REALITY

Creating one's reality may sound a bit tricky because sometimes we feel like our dreams will only be dreams. On this long journey called life, every one has that one thing that they want to be or achieve so bad that sometimes they lose patience and track of time before getting there. It's been a case for me and maybe for somebody else out there. However, living each day with a purpose, even when i may not fully comprehend what that purpose is or how it will make a positive shift in life, i have stuck to a little hope knowing that when dawn breaks, it will be yet another opportunity to pursue one thing, Creating My Reality.

So what exactly do i mean by 'creating my reality'?
Considering my childhood dreams of being a classy woman(whatever that meant), a poetess, a journalist, seeing myself on big screens, my life has always been and is still being driven by that urge. After two decades of chasing this dream, i have come to learn that it's never a one-way route to that destination and somehow the diversions along my way have many a times strangled my zeal in this struggle.
Creating my reality simply means doing what i can do now, starting with the little i can access, celebrating the seemingly little accomplishments and making a 'comfortable' step towards that grail that i'm hunting and hoping to find some day.

What could be the major diversions as mentioned above?

• High expectations from self
  Setting goals is an awesome strategy to achieve one's dreams. Sometimes we raise the bar a bit high and unfortunately we may not get to that set standard and what happens next? We feel like we didn't do our best and have let ourselves down. This takes me to the next point.
• Focusing on the 'gone wrong'
  When we fail to hit the target we set, we get frustrated and often develop the bad idea of "maybe i'm not smart enough, i'm not meant to do this, if only i did more or why don't i drop this" and at worst we want to attach our failures to someone or something else but us. Let's see how disastrous this is.
• Blaming everyone and everything but self for failures
  If only we would point the finger at ourselves, we would have a starting mark. We would then know what we did wrong and make it right but when we shift the blame to others, we will never better our own selves.

• Fear of responsibility
  I have always trashed the idea of being self employed because i fear taking responsibility and being answerable 'if things went wrong'(they will do sometimes). That fear has snatched away my chances of creating and living in the universe that i design.

How have i come to rise above these weaknesses?
I have come to terms with the limitations that come in(we are human, not some programmed robot) and so i forge a way forward when plan A fails, it's not the end of the road anyway. Going to bed with satisfaction rather than regret has aided me to look at the open door and walk right through it to start on something new and finally, i have realized that many people lose their present trying to secure their future. I live in the moment, do what i have to do now, socialize more, love right and keep it here, where i am not high in the clouds where i might take centuries to be.

Going to bed with satisfaction rather than regret!

Final remark
Choosing to start a blog is another way of explaining this whole thing. There are millions of professional, hobby and commercial bloggers out there, i might be that drop in the ocean but that shouldn't hinder me from doing what i want. It's not about "who and how will they take it?" what matters is "i'm i satisfied with and feeling good about the content i put out?"
Creating my reality is living that dream even when it might be in a different context. It's about having and holding other than dreaming and fantasizing.

Glad you dropped by, i hope you will be encouraged, enlightened and entertained too. I will be publishing many more blogs and strengthening this interface with you(yes, you my esteemed reader), your comments,

shares and subscriptions are a crucial foundation and building block to Creating 'My' and 'Your' Reality. Looking forward to having you here Friday next week when a new article is up.
