Want to become better?

The opportunity of being nice to others comes wrapped in possibilities. Most people see it comming around, sometimes, somewhere, reciprocated, dressed in gratitude, as a service, a random smile, an ardent hello.

However, what appears to be an unconditional help from the outer world, is in fact an intentional boost of our way of being, of that way we were, of that heart we’ve had there and then, when we have done the good ourselves.

The problem with being mean to others comes as well covert in possibilities. And although people pay less attention to it, it still comes around. Only now it appears being an injustice the world has tailored for us. And as we start wondering, we forget reasoning.

We seek all the answers as to why the world has stood against us, while we refuse admitting the possibility flying in our face, that this as well is an intentional boost of our way of being, of that way we were, of that heart we’ve had there and then, when we have done the bad ourselves.

It’s just coming to us in a much more sophisticated fashion. It wears no normal clothing but an armor, the best of its kind, tailor made by our own mind.

It’s the armor we build to justify what we’ve become, then and there, when we gave up on the good we could do for the wrong we’ve eventually done.

“How come an “intentional boost”?” – one might ask.

Well, decisions change not only our footprint in the world, they also alter us, our self, our mindset, as no matter the direction we contribute our energy to, we always kickstart it by a decision, a choice, an intention.

Now, if both the right and the wrong sit on the same foundation, why is so that the latter is so much more impactul on us when it makes its way through in our way of being?

Well, while decisions and choices are merely influenced by external contextual factors, the intentions are what we really own. Another distinction is that while our good intentions may also be about others, our bad intentions are entirely about us.

And while for that which we do with or for others we can find mitigating circumstances and so push away from us the associated emotions, for that which we do with of for ourselves that’s pretty impossible, and when we get it done we end-up into another way of being, transformed, impersonating the justification of the very intentions that brought us there.

If you want to contribute more good to the world, make better decisions and choose wiser!

If you want to reach a better self, take a deep look at your intentions!
