I watched the movie “Bruce Almighty” last night for the first time. Bruce, the main character blames God for all his problems and he gets the blessing of being God for a week. He causes mayhem by giving everyone what they want and selfishly defying universal law for his own benefit.

I noticed this morning in my 90 second meditation, that sometimes, some people have to get a ‘no’ answer in order for others to get a ‘yes.’ Also, by consciously choosing to follow natural laws, we get more predictable and positive outcomes.

Some think that finding gratitude within what they currently have, is settling. But I see gratitude as more along the lines of being content. Settling would be wise if we had no power to create anything different. But being content is a positive energy that leaves us open to choose to create something different.

The ‘crabs in a bucket’ analogy is based on people who are not willing or believe they can’t change. It is the victims of the world who can only see suffering as valuable. 

Those who choose to rise above the crabs, get to a place where they see so much more of the world. The top of the bucket shows them more than the insides of a bucket with a bunch of crabs crawling over them.

The interesting phenomenon is that when that crab gets to see all the abundance and opportunity available ‘out there’, the tendency is to want to lower a rope and help the others climb out! There is no more desire to suffer, or to see anyone else suffer.

I share this because many times we choose not to change because we are afraid of what others will think or that we will be different and lose our friends. The opposite is true! When we become more, we have a burning desire to surround ourselves with our friends and help them become more too!

We create our circumstances. But what if we feel something did happen to us, that we didn’t really create it? 

My belief is that I have accountability, even in some small way. If not, I would be a victim and would have no power to change it. It serves me to believe I have the ability to create my life.

We design and build our house. We live in it and feel content with what we have built. Then we have the freedom to remodel when the current floor plan or interior design scheme no longer serve us.

New Ideas to Consider:

• I create my life
• Physical change happens as quickly as I choose
• I am open to change happening quickly, as soon as I am ready to receive it
• I am open to an upgrade
