| D:Day36.5 | You have felt like the creator of your life in the choices you have made. The experiences of consequence to you were the experiences of choice. Experiences that were “of” your choice are those that would move the story of your life along as a “personal” experience rather than as experience itself. Even experiences dictated by “fate” were of consequence only in your response after the fact. The story of your life, in short, would be a story of how you chose to respond, day-in and day-out, to the world around you. You, in short, created your life through chosen responses. You created your life through your responses to the circumstances of your birth, your opportunities or lack of opportunities, the fateful incidents that you encountered, the people you met. You started with what you believed you had been given, the self that you saw yourself to be—the self you considered immutable and unchangeable—and proceeded from there. Yet you created in response to “reality” rather than creating reality. Now you are called to create reality—a new reality. |
