A
conversation I had yesterday brought into my life a new tool I consider
infinitely powerful. I would like to share it with you to learn how to use it
better, multiply it, give it back to the universe: bending the future.
In our lives, we have adopted the fundamental premise that there are things that are the way they are, things we cannot change, paradigms that are impossible to question, futures that will never take place; that's the way we think they are, and since we do, well, that’s the way they are. If you take a closer look, we live most of our lives thinking of the “most probable future”, which we think we have designed because “that’s the direction we are going”, towards a future we think we cannot avoid.
What a sad idea it is to think of a future we cannot avoid. So here is a heresy I want to share with you, given to me by a friend yesterday: we have all the power in the universe to bend the future. Yes, bend the future, re-create it. Re-creating is understanding that we can re-invent all the futures we want. There is no fixed, unmovable, impossible path. We can bend it and, in this new future, create miracles in our lives. The simple act of bending the future is a tangible miracle in itself, and yes, we can do it.
Based on this conversation, thousands of possibilities
occurred to me. I imagined futures
that I had established as being unmovable, and now I see that we can bend them
and re-create them. So that is the
suggestion for today's heresy.
What futures have opened up in your life in view of this invitation to
re-create them?
