Change your make believe
Hey daring folks!
Here’s a provocative thought: Life’s all make believe. Seriously, do you know why you are here? Why any of us are here? Why we have to keeping doing the things everyone keeps telling us we have to do? I don’t. I have no idea what the writers of LOST have in mind, but for me the show seems like a metaphor for life. We spend our lives trying to figure out how to get off the island of life rather than just enjoying the island. The harder we try to get off, the crazier it becomes.
Say for a moment you agree that life is make believe, wouldn’t that give you permission to change your life, to do things differently, to create your own life blueprint? As a small child I often questioned my parents, my elementary school teachers, my Sunday school teachers etc., “Why do we do things like this?” I was exiled to my room. I stood in the corner. I got sent home with a note. The result? I got the message loud and clear: Go along with the program.
The problem becomes, who writes the program? With all the stress and depression out there, I wonder if it’s time to change the collective make believe to a program that makes us feel alive and vibrant.
Got any ideas about how to change your make believe into your own believe? Perhaps start by pinpointing the areas of your life that cause you the most enjoyment. Find ways to expand those areas. Love to hear from you!

It is said that the meaning of life is nothing more than the meaning we give it. Ever since our emancipation, we are controlled by the preprogrammed conditions of our mind. Unfortunately, we are not aware of this. Unless we become aware of this manipulation by our mind we cannot really see our true self.
Awareness is the key, we must look beyond our minds and see how are we controlled by it. The mind is a terrible master but an excellent servant. Acquire the wisdom to master this. 🙂
Hi Walter,
Thank you for stopping by! Great & interesting advice Walter. I like what you’re saying about become aware. How many of us stop and take “awareness” checks during the day? Or even at the doctor’s, they check my pulse but not my awareness. Your blog is fantastic btw!
Thx. G.
