WE are WHO WE are

"If you allow someone's perception of you to dictate your role or define you, then you don't own yourself"

All anyone of us has is the ability for self-definition: all other things in life stem from this ability; how we treat others, how we approach any situation, how we live our lives etc...

Another way to envision this is: What do we see when we look in the mirror?
- A coward? A hero? A villain? A good person?

We are all defined by the lives we live and the choices we make concerning our life: Do we stay? Do we go? Do we smile in the face of confusion and adversity, or do we run and hide?

Many of life's gifts are wrapped by the hands of our own deeds, they're made manifest by how much we desire something and what we do to obtain it.

Currently I'm in the process of making a major decision concerning my current location in life; it involves not only being honest with myself but honesty with those around me.

Whenever a decision of magnitude comes about, we're presented with an amazing opportunity to define to the universe who we are and what we want to be.

The universe works in such a way as to grant us our grandest desires, based on who we are in relation to what it is we say we want; all of life works within this rule and is deeply rooted in cause and effect.

We make decisions everyday that dictate our placement down the road of life, all we can do is trust in our worth and potential, then take a leap of faith based on our personal calculation of both.

Never settle for what is or what others' dictate for yourself, unless you happen to find yourself exactly where you wish to be.

Don't do anything for the promise of the future hope of happiness or fulfillment, unless you have confidence in yourself in your present circumstance. Likewise, don't look for a loved one to come along and to complete you unless you find yourself already self-sufficient.

It's okay to aspire to be something or someone, but first internalize the knowledge that at this very moment you already have the potential to be that person.

Be, now, who it is you wish to be down the road. The act of searching after life's gold only leads to a life of searching.

Start living the life you want today, and beauty is all you will see staring back at you in the mirror. Be transparent to the universe about who you are and what you desire and you'll receive clear signs for forward progress. If you choose to be closed off and illusionary, you'll be left to walk across muddied waters.

Everyone has the God-given potential to realize their dreams; choose to believe in yourself and not what others choose to believe for you.

I love you, I believe in you now and always!

Peace and blessings,
Mason
