Life does not happen! YOU happen, making life the direct product of YOU. Do you see? There is no here or there, past, present, when, or why without your experience of it. YOU are the creative center of the universe, and out of YOU, all is. Now, go “happen.”

Don’t dismiss life with statements such as, “There’s nothing I can do about this, or I must learn from that, ” etc. Such statements are spiritual gobbledygook and an apathetic way to allow suffering, which is likely what you want anyway. YOU are life itself, and nothing exists without your experience of it. In other words, when it comes to life, you are smack in it regardless of what you are experiencing. Ultimately, life is living you, not the other way around. Give it all you’ve got with the exception of what you think it should be!

You and only you bring to every present moment experience your reaction to it—love-hate, right-wrong, happy-sad, etc. You own every response, action, and reaction. Experience is neutral, so nothing is done to us; we, rather, are the “doing” to experience.
