In this fast changing world we live in we're constantly confronted with decisions that we have to make. From the moment you wake up we deal with people, who are going through their own issues and that forces us to make even more choices that shape us to be the people we are today.
From the day you are born, you are as equal as anyone will ever be. Right until your purpose for your life is revealed or made true for your life, there is a common force that exists within all of us that makes us who we are and why we are the most successful specie the world has ever know - common sense. This is the most basic force that all human beings inherit. Common sense allows you to know what's right from wrong, what love, hope, faith, patience, caring, forgiveness etc is. It's what makes you feel human. We all have this force within us, whether we realise it or not.
As we grow we become different in the kind of people we'll turn into. Some of us are sweet, others aggressive, impatient. Our ways become different and we want to achieve different things. Now the question is what makes us different?
As I've said, we're all born pretty much equal but then we change. Well obviously the experiences we go through as we grow up make us the people we are today. Each one of us is a product of all the situations and events that happened in our lives. A sum of all the good and bad things helped in making up your personality. If you lived around good people that helped you make the right choices for developing a path you've taken to be where you are. If you hanged out with bad people, those experiences are engraved in your personality as well.
Let me give you a visual example of how that could be presented. Let's say we have a slice of bread which represent common sense, as the foundation that allows anything else. On the bread is the spread. The spread is who you are. So what can you put on the bread? Hmm well you can put some margarine, peanut butter or jam. All of those things give the bread different flavors. So if you're a kind, loving and considerate person it's like a bread with a kind, loving and considerate spread put on top of it. If you're a murderer and a thief then your bread has blood and evil spread on top of it.
You see we are who we are because of the kinds of spread we all put on our bread. Your experiences are dictated by what the spread is. So if you consume your bread with a lot of hate on top of it then the nutrients you'll get from it will manifest in a life of heart break and bad luck. Eat good foods and you'll feel great because what's in the food is good for your body. Similarly eat junk food and you will feel crap inside. Life works in the same way. Your life is a reflection of all the choices and the spread you put on your bread. So we're all born equal, but different because of the choices we make.
Someone may ask why do people continue to make wrong choices over and over again even though they possess this natural ability to know what's right or wrong? Surely if the spread is too much on the bread it overwhelms the original taste of it. So they eat that and all they get is the same taste over and over again, thus they continue to make wrong choices. Still everyone will always know what is right or wrong. Always! It's just that we've conditioned our mind to allow the bad things as reality. But just because you've conditioned a bad thing into an acceptable part of your life does not make it right in general.
Ultimately, no matter what bad things you have done before, within you common sense will always exist. It is the foundation of what make us human.
Common sense can never fail because it's the force that God gave us all to automatically know what's right and wrong. You can never change it and it's your gift of Life. It doesn't matter what life you're living because within you will always exist a force that can help you make the important choices in your life today.
Use it; it's free...
