The Secret To Life.

          What is the secret to life? What makes one person happy and another person sad? What makes one rich and another extremely impoverished? Why does one laugh and another cry? What is the secret to power, to enthusiasm, to joy, to courage? What is the secret that makes the world go round?

           It’s simple, the secret is that there is no secret or may i say, the secret isn’t so big a secret after all. It’s simply choices. That’s it. The choices we make turn out to make our life. So first we make the choice, and then the choice makes us. Tada! As easy as ABC, won’t you say? 

       Choices, that’s the big secret of life. Good choices = Good life. Bad choices = Bad life. Spiritual choices = Spiritual life. What influences your choices though? Your choices are majorly influenced by the information and things you’re exposed to, it’s influenced by the people whose approval mean the world to you, it’s influenced by your environment, what is cool, what is not? Peer pressure (Adults face this more than teenagers but that’s a post for another day...), etc. 

            When your life isn’t what or where you want it, it’s time to go down to the choices you’ve been making and change them. If changing your choices proves tricky or difficult, go still deeper and change the influences around you. For example you could change the people you spend the most time with, you could change the books and media you’re exposed to, etc. Changing your influences will greatly help changing your choices and eventually changing your habits (which are directly a function of your previous choices anyway) which eventually completely change  your life.

       In your spiritual journey, the choice to meditate for a few minutes daily, the choice to read whatever spiritual material you can daily or weekly, the choice to pursue yoga as not just a physical exercise but as a spiritual exercise as well would go a really long way.
