Once I understand that reality is what I create, I have a profound opportunity to feel as good as I can as often as I can. I am no longer dependent on outside circumstances or other people’s behavior. Oh my – now I am free! I don’t have to rely on circumstances lining up in such a way as to please me. Thank goodness, since they rarely do.

Since what I define as my reality is based on perception, and my perception is solely an interpretation – and my interpretation varies depending on my level of energy – then my perception is free-forming. The same words or events on a different day may invoke a different response than that of today; one day I may be forgiving, and the next day, furious. With that understanding, I can choose what interpretation to assign to any experience.
