You Control Your Reality

You always have a choice for peace.

Perception is reality, and our perception is often dominated by our emotions. If we are centered and aware of our emotions in any given moment, then in turn we are in control of our perception, and as such, our reality.

If you're someone that is often stressed (as I used to be), then please know that it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, I would say you need to stop choosing stress. Because that's the truth: you have a choice. You can create another reality.

This isn't to say there won't be bad things that happen in a day. Of course that will happen. Initial responses to stimuli aren't going to go away, but you don't have to stay in that place. Feel the emotion, and then move past it. Ask yourself if you want to stay in the place where you are. By choosing something different, you are choosing to control over being a victim.

Ask yourself if staying in the place where you are emotionally is a good reflection of you as a person. How does it make you view life, and how does it make you treat others?

Ultimately, we get to choose how we react to every event that happens to us. Choose the peaceful response, and your life will reflect peace as well. You'll control your reality.
