Owning our circumstances

Happy Monday everyone! It is good to see so many views out there, I truly hope I am helping to teach others from my own learning experience so we can all advance in expansion and fulfillment. Life is chock full of ups and downs, and the outcomes depend on how we deal with those downs, or in other words, react to them. Just last weekend I took a nasty fall, my second serious injury this year, [just a few months back I had a serious bout of shoulder bursitis], right now, I'm staying with a good buddy here in Southern California in his newly purchased town home, it is a two story town home with two flights of stairs, I was half asleep around 1 am, when thirst called, heading to the kitchen half asleep I'd forgotten about those stairs, over I went and the impact below was beyond painful and instant, I screamed in pain! After the whole house had awoken it was clear I needed to go to the emergency room, my good friend kept insisting that I go, but I stubbornly declined. The next morning I was in serious pain and immobile, I knew it would be bad so I went right to work using my mind and emotions to begin the healing process, instead of pissing and moaning about the pain I iced up my wounds and got happy, hell, I was even laughing about it with my friends over breakfast! While no doctor or X-rays were involved I went into self diagnosis, a recurring past hernia ensued due to the impact of my fall, my lower back seemed to have suffered some internal bruising, and it's painful to bend over too much but man do I feel better! Being in good physical condition really saved me on this one, had this not been the case I'd be hospitalized and recovery would be slow going. Accidents happen, we can't control everything, but how we deal with them is crucial, we too often become victims of our own circumstances, and we forget that WE, and only WE, control how we react to them, which creates the outcome, we reap what we sow! I am a stubborn man, but I now use it to my advantage, I own my circumstances, if something happens that I don't like I swiftly change my perception on that subject and turn it towards my favor and it works every single time. Circumstances do not matter, and time and practice are of paramount to reach this level of confidence that says ''nothing bothers me, I always bounce back''. Remember that slogan, ''I haven't got time for the pain'' years ago?, well I haven't got time for the emotional pain, so I'm going to focus on the outcome I want, healed! I also want to stress that vortex alignment speeds up the healing, I'm 75 percent recovered, and by the coming weekend I'll be back into my fitness regimen, not bad for a fall that could've laid me up for a good duration. Injuries are quite a big deal, worse even than the small every day problems we encounter, but for me they are all dealt with in the same manner, overcame!, it is challenging mentally but do-able nonetheless, people are beating odds every day with worse illnesses and diseases than my fall, and we ALL are literally created to self heal through the power of our minds and emotions, no matter the circumstances. Own your circumstances, own your world!
