How You Create Your Own Reality

In the words of Brianna Wiest, ‘What you associate becomes fused together for you. What you consistently exposed yourself to becomes so familiar, it is eventually preferred, defaulted to. What you say most often begins to form elements of your inner narrative, the way in which you dictate who you are and how you interact with the world.’

Your reality happens every day. When you wake up in the morning, your reality starts. When you think, your are creating your own reality. When you act, you are creating what you want to see in your life. When you don’t do what you are supposed to do, you are making your own bed.

Remember that your reality is how you live your life every day. So if you do not like what you are reaping, then you must change what you are planting. If you don’t like what you are getting, then change what you are doing.

As always, You are more, not less!

Why You Should Never Copy Other People

Growth comes from doing the work. It does not come from copying other people.

When you copy others, you are not creating your own life. You are just repeating what is already out there.

When you copy other people, you are not adding value to your life; you are stealing from your own growth; you are reducing yourself. Because growth happens when you actually do the work, not when you copy other people.

When you copy other people, you are a follower, not a leader. You are not an innovator. You are not living your life. You are living other people’s dreams.

Copying other people is not good for you. According to Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, ‘copying does more harm to the copier than to the copied. When someone copies you, they are copying a moment in time. They don’t know the thinking that went into getting you to that moment in time, and they won’t know the thinking that’ll help you have a million more moments in time. They’re stuck with what you left behind.’

That is why you should NEVER copy other people. Because copying is not learning. Learning is doing the work, not copying the work.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to face yourself?’
