Choosing in the moment.....

Just as an author begins a new chapter in a book, so we begin a new stage in our lives in every moment. Each new moment we live this physical experience can be the beginning of a new chapter of the book we are writing. Whether or not we choose to start a different theme or continue the one before, each new moment we are still more than we were. We have no choice but to grow and expand because of what we’ve learned in the last moment and the moment before that, and the moment before that, and so on.

The thing about books is, they tend to have a single theme – ie. It can be about crime, passion, space, fantasy etc. Rarely does the person writing a space science fiction book choose to change theme completely to being a biography or fantasy about unicorns and wizards.

With our lives, we are not so restricted. In each moment, we can choose to start a different page or a different chapter and change the theme too. Admittedly, it’s not always feasible to change from being an architect to a woodcarver in the turn of a page, but the theme of where we’re headed can change within a few pages.

The key point here is, in very moment we are more than we were. Today we are more than we were yesterday because of all the things we experienced. We are not the same person. As we experience so we grow and expand. The thing is, and this is the wonderful thing, we get to choose how and where we expand to. Whilst others can have an impact upon our lives, they can only do so if we allow them to. Everything that happens to us and that affects our lives is there because we have chosen to include it into our life experience. The way we do that is by where we place our attention.

So in each moment, wherever you choose to put your attention is what you will experience. It will also send signals out to the Universe to send you more of what you are putting your attention upon. In each moment, you can change where you put your focus and it doesn’t have to be the same place as it was in the last moment. We are all powerful, spiritual beings, having a physical experience. Only we can decide where to put our focus. Only we can decide what we think, and, ultimately, only we can decide what we choose to feel in each moment.

The last moment we experienced is not who we are and does not define us going forward. It is only this moment, right here and right now, that defines who we are in this moment. And in each moment, we are more than we were.

So if you’re feeling stuck in a rut in any part of your life, remember, you can begin to change that right now, just by thinking something different, and focusing on what you do want. We are powerful creators and, because we are growing, expanding, and evolving in each new moment, we are able to create exactly the life we want by where we are putting our focus. Stop letting past events define who you are right now, because right now is a new moment and you can choose something different.
