| "Learn to make the most of what's handed to you." I | | | | road to safety. |
| just read this line on an advertisement for a movie that | | | | We are all creative beings and we have the capacity |
| is supposed to be inspirational and motivational. | | | | if not the knowledge to create anything we wish to |
| Give me a break… what a crock of BS. It's the | | | | experience - So why do we have to make the most |
| same old line that I have heard for years and it makes | | | | of what is handed to us, when we can create what |
| me want to spew all over my monitor. Some | | | | we want in the first place. |
| free-thinking writers who are trying to enlighten us just | | | | In the bigger picture, what you got is always what you |
| haven't gotten it yet. These are the kind of thoughts | | | | wanted at some level of your consciousness and if it |
| which have disempowered, demoralized and debased | | | | is not what you want then it is an opportunity to create |
| us for centuries. | | | | something different by comparison. It is a moment of |
| It's OK to be grateful for something that is given you, | | | | new awareness. So the only thing positive about the |
| but to ask someone to make the most of what's | | | | statement may be the awareness of something you |
| handed to you, it just sounds like it is all you can | | | | don't want, so that you can create something that you |
| expect to get. You shouldn't ask for anything else and | | | | do want. This realization takes a higher level of |
| if you do it is because you weren't grateful for the | | | | awareness and focus. For me it is simply a dumb line |
| handout. | | | | that keeps the masses submissive and disenchanted. |
| The phrase suggests that the handout is all you are | | | | The capacity of the human mind to create is |
| worthy of. It also sends a clear message that you are | | | | awesome and unlimited. We do not have to settle for |
| not capable of receiving anything else and that nothing | | | | anything that is less than what we want. We do not |
| else is coming your way. | | | | have to make the most of what is given us, because |
| It is no wonder most of us are so disempowered that | | | | we do not need to be given anything unless it is |
| we must depend on what others give us, and it is | | | | desired. |
| because of these well intentioned lines which are | | | | Abundance is created by the will to experience |
| thrown at us. | | | | abundance, and it is the same for all the things we |
| Making the most out of any situation makes perfectly | | | | desire like love, happiness, and companionship. |
| good sense. All events are opportunities for us to | | | | When you hear these moronic lines, pay attention to |
| demonstrate who we are and all things given to us are | | | | what you are feeling in the moment and respond by |
| gifts which are appropriate for the moment that we | | | | focusing on what you can have or do. Don't except |
| need to declare ourselves. However, in the context of | | | | mediocrity or condemnation. From the time of our birth, |
| the whole sentence, it has a very negative and | | | | we hear these lines and accept them as our new |
| dehabilitating effect on our ego. It is like walking into a | | | | truth. It is no wonder that we believe them, because |
| church expecting to be uplifted and the first sentence | | | | we create the experiences which reinforce the power |
| out of the mouth of the preacher when he starts his | | | | of the words. Opportunity does not only come once, it |
| prayer is "Lord We are so Unworthy." How can we | | | | comes continuously in ever moment you create it. |
| expect to be anything else? You are run over again | | | | Something better will come to you when you decide |
| by the second car as you struggle to get across the | | | | that it is what you wish to experience. |
