Are You in Control of Your Life?
Scott A. Gese

Do you spend time thinking about the positive aspects of your life or do you dwell on your problems to the point where they begin to take control?

Are there times when you feel as if you’re not in control of your life? At least not as much as you would like. Your body seems to be breaking down. Your mind isn't as alert. You seem to be focusing more on fear of the future. You worry about every little thing. Your mind begins to make up stories and you allow it to blow small aches and pains way out of proportion.

You may not be in as much control of your life as you think.

People are becoming more aware of the fact that there are those who seek to control this planet including the people on it. They don’t want you to know this and they go to great lengths to keep this knowledge from you.

Knowledge is power and they don’t want you to have either one. They want to control your body and your mind.

Those who seek to control the people of this world use many different ways to do this.

Media which has been proven to be a huge propaganda machine. Big pharma uses its arsenal of medications with lists of side effects as long as your arm to gain control your body. Some of these drugs may be helpful but when side effects cause you to need another drug to control those side effects, then you are losing control and they are gaining it. There are other less blatant and more subtle ways you are giving away your control. Social media being one of them.

If you let others tell you what to do, what to say or what to think, then you are no longer in total control. It has been taken from you. You have unknowingly given it away.

Why is this important to know?

Because if you feel like you're losing control. If you are living with ill health. Living with fear, worry or anxiety on your mind.  You need to realize it may not be this way by accident. 

If you've never thought about this it might be time you did.

You’re not who you might think you are.

When asked to describe who you are, most people default to surface information like your name, age, how you make a living, marital status and how many kids you have.

This might be your statistics, but it’s not who you are. Not really. The truth of who you are goes much deeper than this.

Give yourself a reality check. It’s time to think a little deeper

The reality is, first and foremost you are a spiritual being. You are here on this planet for a reason. You chose to be here at this time and in this place, with this body and with this mind.

You came here with total control over both. Don’t unknowingly give it away.

Remember who you really are and that you should be in charge of your own life.

My suggestion is to have a talk with yourself

Have a heart to heart conversation with yourself. Just like you would with your children. Teach your mind to love and respect your body. Teach it to exist in a positive state of love, not fear. To not be anxious or worry about things beyond its control.

Reassure your body that the mind will not bully, abuse or stress it out with needless worry, anxiety and negative thinking. Shower your body with reassuring thoughts of love. Let it know it’s time to heal.

It may take some time to reshape your mind into the positive force you want it to be, but it can be done. It may take time to reassure your body of its healing ability, but it can be done as well.

You need to come to realize you are much more than a one dimensional human on this planet. You have a spirit and this spirit in you is in charge of your body and your mind. Don’t give your control away. It will gladly be accepted. You need to keep it. Only you know what’s best for you.

Don’t Forget to Take Time for Yourself

One more thing. You need to take time for yourself. To rest and rejuvenate. This is where meditation comes into play. Meditation is a way for you to essentially lock yourself in a room away from the demands and concerns of this life and to concentrate, commune and communicate with your Source. Meditation is an essential part of being in control of who you are. It’s the glue that holds the Mind, Body and Spiritual connection together. Mindful Meditation allows you to do more than just survive in this earthly environment. It allows you to thrive.

Remember, you are in control of your life. If you feel like you’ve either lost or are losing control, it’s time to take it back.

Keep your body in shape and your mind clear. Understand that you are more than you might know. Do this and you will have a Successful Retirement.
