What a beautiful response! You woke my mind up! I will absolutely respond to this when I am home from my weekend away :)

I understand where (now shortened to) NPM is coming from..
We absolutely can steer our realities in any direction that we want, by following our intuition and choosing wisely. I don't believe in right or wrong decisions as whatever we are choosing will help us grow.
You could steer yourself into horrible situations, I have done many times. However, I have always learnt from them and they have fared me well in the end.
I would agree with the point about "we". I would say that everyone has a choice of what to believe and I am certainly not going to push anyone or say that I am "right". From my point of view though... I love to see the world from a loving, kind, beautiful perspective :)
The concept of utopia is to live in some kind of paradise. Each individual will have their own version of that - therefore utopia lies from within. (in my opinion)

Do you keep secrets? If so, then my suggestion would be to start from within! How can you judge others for keeping secrets, if you do yourself? Even the smallest ones?

Thank you for your comment!
I am kind of intrigued as to what Needlessly Pedantic Man has to say?

Stories.
We have been conditioned (programmed in fact) to believe that life has limitations. We have been told that we are small, that we are separate beings, disconnected from each other. We have been taught that we need to follow rules and rulers - the biggest story here being the story of god. Even if you don't believe, you will still, maybe without even realising be following at least some of the teachings of the bible.
In my opinion this book was and is genius! Look at the effect that the "legend" of god has had.
And with story comes fear (which is a story within itself).
If people are fearful and do not understand that fear can be used to move things at speed, they will stop. They are taught to believe that fear is a reason to stop, a danger sign and not taught how to follow intuition. Fear itself is now feared!
Good morning!
I am away this weekend to celebrate my upcoming birthday!!! Yay!
I think I may get a funny look though for bringing my laptop so I can catch up once in a while on hereπ
I posted as I said I would before I packed... What if... we already live in Utopia?

i was talking to my middle son this morning about something semi-related to this.He was complaining because he is struggling at school as per! Not with his education but with communicating in an acceptable manner.
We are a very neurodivergent family and therefore our brains work in weird and wonderful ways.
He was saying that he 'can't' communicate with others. Ha, well, I corrected him as he is more than capable of communicating and I went on to explain what he can do to help and how actually having a brain like his, is actually a super-power!
Oops... I digressed!
Part of my explanation was explaining that people - no matter if they have no money and are homeless on the street, or billionaires who appear to have everything are any different from each other. We are all connected and no matter the cup that we drink from, we are able to talk to each other on the same level. Money and things are immaterial. What is actually important is how you connect with someone in the moment. We are all the same and yet all so very different!
Life is an illusion, and we play it whether we are aware of that or not!

I wouldn't say lazy. I know plenty of people who are actively working very hard to escape the life that they have to get to a 'better' place. Whilst doing that though, they create stories around how 'bad' things are, and are unaware of the magik that surrounds them.
Gratefulness has a huge part to play in how our lives will unfold. Understanding and recognising that there is pain and sorrow in the world and feeling that too, so that we can truly understand what joy and happiness is.
So many are trying to 'rid' the world of something - they are certainly not lazy. What happens though, is they attract what they are trying to rid as they are constantly talking and thinking about it.
So many focus on what they don't want rather than what they do.
Unawareness is in my opinion the kinder AND more aligned word. Laziness is judgemental . And, as we are all unique, what is lazy to one person will be to the other everything that they can give in that moment.

I would also add...
If you want to understand the universe you need to look from within.

the day ended wellπ
I got to come home to my 4 crazy kids, sit down with them and play and then speak to my fiance and discuss my weekend birthday plans!
I had an unexpected curve ball and needed to go 'offline' for the day. Just coming on to catch up and will finish writing it in the morning. For now, I just need to process my thoughts on how the day unfolded and get a bit of what I call 'stacker therapy'π΅βπ« - yes.. I am addicted to SNπ€ͺ
Today I was kind, I didn't react in anger, I ate healthily, I un-followed (and blocked) someone, I stayed within the boundaries I have set and I reminded myself that no one should expect me to cross them!
This post has just made me realise what a fab day I had, even though I didn't like it!
These people start by saying... how can I help? when they actually mean... how can I fix this and let you know that I am better than you?
