[Daily OM]: Our lives can be compared to an
ongoing movie script over which we have complete creative control.
Within us lies the power to examine what works or isn't working in our
lives and make "edits" to our life's script, accordingly. Choosing to
actively edit your life can be incredibly empowering. As you evolve, you
have the choice to accept the script you've written thus far or edit it
so you can create a life that fulfills you. You can cut out from your
life's script what is no longer working for you. Acknowledging that you
are responsible for the experience you create gives you the ability to
create the life you've always longed for.
Granted, editing your real life isn't always as easy as erasing a line
of text. If you've carried emotional baggage or held on to an unhealthy
relationship for a long time, these may be difficult to edit out. But
when you do cut out what isn't working from your life, you'll feel
lighter and more alive. Editing out activities that you find stressful,
disassociating yourself from people that drain your energy, and letting
go of your emotional baggage are all beneficial cuts you can make. In
the empty spaces that are left behind, you can add in anything you like.
Just as you have the power to edit out negative situations or beliefs
that you no longer wish to have as part of your life, you can now
include the kinds of positive experiences, people, and beliefs that you
would like to fill your life with. The manifestation of these thoughts
and images as realities in your life will inevitably follow. As you make
changes to your life, you can also add in the bits where you choose
more intimate, healthier relationships, seek out adventure over tedium,
and are no longer negatively impacted by old experiences.
To begin editing your life, simply think about your positive and
negative experiences. When you determine what parts of your life are no
longer serving you, make the commitment to remove them -- though, it is
important to remember that there is no proper timing or way to do this,
and patience and compassion for yourself are always important during
this process. Then, ask yourself what has brought you profound bliss and
consider how you can make those experiences and beliefs part of your
life now. With a little editing, you'll be able to clear out what is no
longer serving you and make room in your life for more happiness, love,
and wisdom.
