Heaven, Hell and Life

It occurs to me that if we create our own hell, by contrast, we create our own heaven.  I know this theme has been explored before, but these are my own words.

Where does it start…with a simple decision?   According to any religion and most philosophies, this is exactly how it starts.  The next step involves gathering the tools you need to create your ideal persona, I suppose.  This is mostly takes the form of ideas, attitude changes, people, and knowledge.

The goal is to merge with the persona and become exactly who you want to be.

Consider, though, that sometimes the tools to learn these lessons aren’t readily available. When we get frustrated at lack of progress, maybe we should be a little kinder to ourselves.

All of life is a series of events and choices.  Sometimes we have to choose between a shit sandwich and a shit hoagie.  

I propose that every person is a study of their successes.  So many times we look at our lives through the lens of failure.

This is counterproductive.

If a story is a series of perfect sentences placed together to weave the tapestry of the story,  so are our experiences a story of perfect moments placed together to weave the tapestry that is our soul.  The sooner we can learn to view things that way, the easier it will be to shake off the events of the negative parts to the story, and leave with the lesson.  

The only thing that matters is the lesson, and the love.  This is where heaven is.
