When you wake up, before every step you take, ask yourself, what is the outcome I want from this. That is your awareness. Do not let your astrayed mind take a decision wildly.
A mother asked her 5 years old child a question. She asked him why was he not eating food and before he could answer the question, she answered it herself saying, I know you must be willing to play first. She forced him to eat and he vomited. He said that he was having stomach ache and he needed medical attention. Often we ask a question and we feel we know it and we answer it with our poorly trained mind and let the life be accordingly. Then we wonder did we want it? Well whether we want it or not, but we chose without awareness. So many times we ask a question and answer it with in ourselves on the basis of assumptions and then either we do not take any step or we take step in a wrong way.
A gentleman was going for a meeting. Before even entering the meeting place, he was wondering if this meeting was called to put him down as he was growing in his job. Thinking this he assumed that everyone was jealous of him or he already felt that and no one likes him. So he started creating counter arguments which meant lots of negative energy and when he entered the room, even when no one tried putting him down he was aggressive and by the end of the meeting everyone was tensed. On everything he was defensive. He realized this and wanted to change it. So next time when he was entering the meeting, he asked himself what is the outcome I want and he wanted everyone to come out with a smile and appreciating each other and exactly same thing happened. He wondered if he created havoc last time?
Similarly, a lady was having problems with her husband. Every time in the evening he would come back, they would have a fight. She asked herself why is he doing like that and then she answered it herself, he is taking out office stress on me. Which meant further irritation as she felt she was the punching bag. But after realizing her power to ask for the outcome, she asked how she wanted to meet her husband everyday and the answer was love and smiles. He should feel all relaxed and happy when he comes home. Same thing happened. She wondered why she did not make a conscious decision every day earlier.
Life is a choice on every step. Either we can be in flow or we can keep making small choices of awareness on every step. Ask yourself what is the outcome I want? Make an aware choice and life a better life.
