"Fix" every moment ...
Publicado por Patricio Varsariah el miércoles, septiembre 12, 2018
The other day I had the opportunity to see the movie "The butterfly effect" that is based on the old story of someone who gets to travel to the past and tries to correct it. But he can not foresee the complex series of events he unleashes with each new attempt. Thus, every time he returns to the present he finds unexpected news.
The idea is simple: facts that seem irrelevant can have unexpected consequences. And as those consequences will surely trigger new chains of events, as time passes the influence of that initial event is amplified, multiplied, can literally change our lives.
We can not forget that we also travel in time, of course only forward and barely a second at a time. But this allows us to look back and analyze how we created this present in which we live now. And if we draw the right conclusions, that information could serve us to sow the seeds of a better future today.
If we look around us we will surely find circumstances of our reality that could be better in some aspect. Of course, there is nothing we can do with the decisions we made in the past that brought us here, but perhaps there is some idea that will help us act now, in our present, to create the future we long for.
As proposed by the butterfly effect (ie, chaos theory), it is practically impossible to foresee all the consequences of a given initial event. The reality in which we live is so complex, it involves so many variables, circumstances, and people, that we can not predict how events will happen. Maybe we act with a very clear intention, but we can not know in advance the result of our actions.
It is proper for the man to make plans, but the last word is from God.Proverbs 16, 1
Put another way: Man proposes and God disposes of.
But of course, this uncertainty does not prevent us from acting. A good guide is always to do it according to our most intimate conviction. When we do something convinced that it is the right thing to do, when it comes to an impulse that arises from the deepest part of our being, it is most likely that the result will be positive for us and for the people around us. And if things do not go as we expected, at least we will have nothing to reproach ourselves with.
But there is an even more effective strategy to create a better future. Something we can try at any time of the day ...
The ego is always issuing judgments, usually negative. At any time we can verify this just by asking how we feel. The ego's response will usually be to point out what is wrong, what is missing, what should change to fit their whims.
While I finish writing this writing, for example, the little voice of my ego reminds me that I should have published it last week, and makes me review with guilt all the activities with which I got distracted and that caused the delay.
Any person who is observant and objective can verify that the same situation is repeated all the time. The ego makes us, always and all, the same type of comments: that we win little, that politicians are corrupt, that we are overweight, that the economic situation worsens ... In the hands of the ego, any subject is adequate to generate some negative emotion. You can tell us about bad weather, work problems or family conflicts, but you will always find a way to point out something that we dislike.
What we can do at any time is to wake up from that enchantment in which we keep our ego throughout the day. We can raise our level of consciousness for a few moments, observe our mood, identify the negative emotion with which we are entangled and simply "deactivate" it.
If it seems to my ego that I made a mistake because I did not publish this writing last week, it's only because he fixes arbitrary goals that I normally can not fulfill. And if I had published it on time, I would surely have found other errors to point out to me.
According to the butterfly effect, anything we do could have unexpected consequences in our future experiences. And according to the law of attraction, if we act while experiencing negative emotions we will be attracting all kinds of problems.
The exercise, then, consists of "fixing" each moment, accepting it as it is presented to us, forgiving what we feel is wrong.
There is no duty that we neglect as much as the duty to be happy
If we are worried, we will have to learn to trust that things will turn out well. If we feel tense, it will be good for us to relax. If we are anxious, we can calm down. If we feel alone, let's try to enjoy the tranquility that surrounds us. If we are tired, we should take a break, have a coffee or siesta . And if we are bored, we could see a good movie ... maybe "The Butterfly effect".
The slight flutter of a butterfly can be felt on the other side of the world.
A cordial greeting.
