Each person sees the world differently.
From the day we were born we receive information, we are being taught about life, and eventually we form our own perception, beliefs, attitudes and tendencies. This is our imprint, our frequency. Based on the tendency, we behave in a certain way, we attract related things, related circumstances and also we move to a specific direction. We attract a certain life, certain events, certain people.

All our environment, all our problems, everything we like and dislike about our lives actually is attracted by ourselves. We are attached on what feels familiar to us. This is a way to feel secure, to feel safe. So, most people get stuck in this loop. In this endless loop we created for ourselves we might even not feel satisfied, but, we don't quite try to change it cause of the familiar, the attachment. So here is a trap, a vicious cycle. We have certain tendencies, we attract events, we are attached to what is familiar to us, so we have tendencies, these tendencies attract events and a certain life that we are attached on, and so on.

It's all about how you perceive the world. What you can change instantly is your thoughts, emotions and behaviour; how you perceive the world around you. This is the beginning of change. We decide how happy we will be, no matter the environment, while at the same time we can work on changing what we dislike in our lives.

The environment we are getting born in can't change rapidly. It needs tons of time and effort in order to change that. Effort such as reflecting on ourselves, realise what we dislike in this environment, tons of cleaning, tons of empowerment, endless workings, changing the way we think, rejecting whatever isn't helpful and discouraging and adapting new beliefs and attitudes, finding ways to unstuck, taking action in changing it. So, you cannot one day be poor living in a poor village and the next day wake up a millionaire living in a big mansion. This is a concequence. For example, you reading this while you are sitting on your couch, or standing waiting for the bus, this is a consequence of what you did before that, what you did yesterday, what decisions you made a year ago, what happened in your previous lifetime. This can't change like a zap and it won't change if you are not willing to change yourself.

Comparing ourselves with others, what others have, what others have already achieved, how advanced others are etc. is a very tricky part. Life is a marathon where each person has their own personal point of start. Some might have a small headstart, some others have a huge headstart, some others have none. This headstart can be family income and support for example or even the country you are living in, the country's economy and support to its residents, the work you have done in your past lives. Some people have to do it all by themselves, growing up poor, having to work in order to have everything they have that others find it basic stuff. Not everyone starts to run this marathon from the same point, but our tendencies have caused us to start from that very point. Appreciating this will help us move on to the next step.

While struggling, many people are thinking "I haven't achieved anything in my life yet" take a step out of it and think of how much you were actually in control of this. Having the skills? Having resources? Made any mistakes? Didn't put as much effort as needed? Did a sudden event take place that changed your way? Reflection is important because it helps us become more aware of our own self, our weaknesses and strengths. And here comes the other factor, the familiar. Did you really want your life to change? How attached are you to this life you are having from your birth until this very day? And realistically, how much you are actually consciously aware of it? Many people complain about their lives, but they don't try to change it. Our experiences, our conscious and unconscious, our own selves are the biggest bind in the life we are having. At the same time, everybody seeks the familiar, the attachment, something steady. This is completely reasonable, as in all our life we were always taught to look for the easy way, the comfortable way.

Living like this, as we were programmed to live, programmed to what to seek, we won't be able to manifest our full potential. In humanity today, freedom equals fear. The more we hesitate to let the familiar and step into something new, into something challenging, the more we let ourselves die, our potentials to die.
 
Thank you Maya, I do really enjoy your articles.
