Do you ever feel that life is working against you? Do you wonder why certain things happen to you? Do you believe you have no control over your life? It is important to realize that our life experiences do not happen to us, but through us. Life is not like a movie played before our eyes over which we have no control. We create our life experience by the careful choice of thoughts and feelings.
All the world may be a stage, but we are more than merely players, and certainly more that spectators. We function like the projectionist who takes movies and projects them into visibility. Consider the thoughts of your conscious and subconscious mind as images on film. The musical score is determined by your feelings. Our mind’s eye is like the projector that creates the movie experience the projectionist desires.
What kind of images are you projecting? Tragedies or comedies? Soap operas or joyous musicals? Exciting adventures or boring reruns? If you want to change your life experience, start by changing the thoughts and feelings you project. No one else can do this for you. Follow the advice of Paul: “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely…think on these things.” By thinking these thoughts we project them into the kind of life we desire.
