(the first step)

[Everyone has to start somewhere.]

This blog represents the start of my journey to achieving the highest level of consciousness possible, towards self-perfection, discovery and experience.

A few years ago, heck even a few months ago, I thought that life was a never ending grind, repeated over and over through humanity's history. Go through school, then college, followed by university, get a job, buy a house, marry, have kids, make them go through the same cycle, grow old, and pass away. There's a depressing thought personally.

In the last few weeks though, I've realised all of it doesn't matter. And at the same time, all of it does matter. Life is a series of choices, leading to experiences. Who we are is defined by each and every choice we make. Regardless of whether we accept responsibility for our choices, our life will always head in the direction of those choices.

Why do I say 'all of it doesn't matter' then? Well, that's because life is given the meaning that you decide on. Anything you regard as a defeat, an error, a negative, that is nothing but an opinion that you give to a situation. And that opinion can be changed in a single thought, simple as that and faster than you can snap your fingers. At the same time, I could mention that essentially, there is no right or wrong, no bad or good, except whatever label you decide to assign to a thought or a situation at that point in time.

What are the consequences of that last statement? It's simple. Whatever happens, you have a choice and how you deal with that choice is who you are. Every second, every day, every thought, you are deciding who you truly are.

So here's to conscious thought, and bringing humanity one step closer to higher, evolved consciousness.
