P.G. Snacks Personal Growth in bitesize chunks

You (don’t) choose where you are born

Doesn’t that sound familiar? I bet many of your parents told you this when you were kids. You should be happy that you were born into a society that has all these conveniences because there were so many people around the world that had it so much worse then you did. And it makes sense right? Why the h*ck should you be complaining about “needing” a new mobile phone when someone across the globe is struggling for food and clean water.

Nevertheless, I’m going to go out on a limb here now by saying that perhaps your parents weren’t completely right with their statement. Maybe you did choose where you were born after all. For the ones born into considerable wealth (as compared to third-world standards) it’s a giant stretch to even consider that someone would choose to live a life of hunger and poverty. But just try to let that go a minute and consider the following:

Experience
If you are here to experience things, learn and grow from them to become a more complete being, wouldn’t scarcity be an experience you would need to have had to consider yourself a complete being?
I don’t mean to say you shouldn’t wish people a better life and try to help them achieve this. What I’m saying is that you should realize that everything is a choice. The place you are, but also the place you are going. You can decide to live in poverty and experience that, or face the challenges that come with climbing out of poverty. The experience is for every human being to choose.

Just decide!
So take the important part from your parents’ message: “Do not complain”. Complaining doesn’t change anything. If you are not satisfied with something, just choose something else; just decide! But don’t be afraid to face the challenges that that decision brings. You don’t manifest things, you manifest opportunities to obtain them; it is up to you to reach out and grab ‘m!

I hope you enjoyed this spiritual growth snack and until next time!
