t is not what is occurring in the outer world that affects us. It is how we choose to react to what is happening that affect us. We define this world through the thoughts we think. The external world is thus a physical reflection of the thoughts we think. If we choose to love the world, we will experience a more forgiving, peaceful and joyful place. If we choose to battle the world, we will find a more judgmental, confusing, angry and chaotic place. The power to experience the life we want resides within us, not outside of us. The ego tries to get us to judge and blame the outer world for how it “makes” us feel. This way of thinking only gives our power away to the outer world. In reality, the only power the outer world has over us is the power that we give to it.

Today, let us take full responsibility for the kind of day we experience. We can do so by remembering that in every moment we have two choices. One is to allow the ego to rule our mind, and the other is to rule our own mind. When the ego is ruling, we feel judgmental, angry, resentful, worried or stressed. When our loving, eternal essence and nature is ruling, we feel forgiving, peaceful, joyful and understanding. Today, let us stop making excuses and blaming other people and events for how we feel. The kind of day we now have is the kind of day we now choose to have. The level of peace or emotional pain that we focus on and experience is purely up to us to decide. Today, let us be grateful to God that, thanks to free will, we get to decide the nature and expression of our experiences.
