The great blindspot of humanity is our inability to see how our choices (cause) have to potential to create our own misery or joy (effects). We are simply ignorant of what choices are good for us. That’s partly because we are unaware how our chosen beliefs shape our reality, and we don’t know of the lies that we tell ourselves and others. The key is to always examine the root cause of all the effects in your life. The root cause is directly related to your choices. Take inventory of your choices in friends and partners. Carefully review how you chose to use your time. Look more closely at the choices you make regarding health, exercise and nutrition. No-one can work around the strict law of cause and effect. If you make poor choices in food, or you chose to neglect exercise, the effect will always be negative. This is one of many examples of cause and effect in life. What you chose today will have an effect on your tomorrow, no exceptions. The key is to begin choosing things that create more positive experiences, not more misery.
Make it a point to chose wisely as you mature in life, so the effects of your choices are always positive and have lasting value. Focus on things and on relationships that you know will affect you in an impactful and meaningful way. Do it because it pleases YOU, not because of what you think will please others or because you think it’s what you should do. When we don’t follow our deeper instincts, the effects of our choices can become disastrous. Purposeful decision-making is likely to lead towards better relationships and more positive experiences. When chaos and misery ensue, we are often left wondering how something so terrible could happen – well, always go back to the root cause (your choices). Carefully examining your choices and learning how you may be contributing to your own misery will help you make wiser choices – ones that will make more joy. Wiser choices will always result in a more effective, and prosperous future. Open your eyes to the blindspots of cause and effect and it will change your life.
