Choice.....freedom or victimhood

Experiencing the moments called life:
Thoughts are physical events in our bodies,
experienced as sensations called emotions.

In effect, we sensationalize our thoughts.

Deciding to be grateful generates a much sweeter sensation
than taking anything for granted.

Deciding to love (whomever,)stimulates a much cozier sensation
than being neutral about their presence.

We're in charge of the fireworks we call our feelings

Gobblegook???

Exactly Patricia......everything, every stimuli... means nothing without the individuals (volitional/free)choice of meaning one projects/infects/attaches to it. Each is ultimately free, to do whatever they choose to do with the stimuli......
Does what you choose, (the flavor of your experience,) ultimately fascilitate you, nourish you, towards realizing what you want? Is there no room for exploring improvement? Or? which is ok by me, are you complacent with simply doing what you've always done, with the same results? encouragingly, L+L, BW

Realizing Volitional Consciousness

Realizing, (making real,) embracing, (fearlessly) the freedom, the power, and responsibility, of the rather unique gift we somehow have, (although some seem to seek to bury it or to deny it,) is for me part of the essence of what it is which enables one to be a 'benevolent, (charitably-disposed,) warrior.'
