Build Your Building

In life be about building your own building, don’t waste time stopping to see what others are doing with theirs and certainly don’t spend time trying to pull another persons building down, it only ends up costing you valuable time, effort and energy that can be better served else where, on your own project may be.

Your building represents your life, your career, your relationships, either one of or all of these things.  The minute we look outside of ourselves at what others are doing we take our focus and our energy away from the creation of our own lives, we can become disheartened in our own endeavours if we perceive that someone else is doing it all better than us. 

When we look outside ourselves we only ever see what we want to see, as something is only ever as WE perceive it to be.   Someone else’s life may appear much better than ours, we may think that they have more, are better organised, have more fun, can do more.  Know that all we ever see of anyone else is an outside construct and that there is always more going on hidden away that they are not comfortable for us to see.  We really don’t ever know what goes on behind closed doors or inside someone’s heart and mind, so that which we covet, or compare ourselves with is only an image of something. 

No one else is completely together, in fact in my experience most people are just hanging on in there hoping and praying for the best and busy papering over cracks or with fingers in dykes hoping that the whole thing won’t give way. 

Construct a building in your mind, it can be however you want it to be, a skyscraper, a mansion, really let your mind go on this one, (don’t let it wonder how your neighbours looks though ;-) ).  So whenever you are tempted to compare yourself or your life to another’s, stop right there, bring the image of your building back into focus and place your thoughts on the further construction of that building making it as big or as high and you want to.  

This serves to bring your mind back to what is truly important.  When focused on your own building you are in touch with your creativity, your power to make changes and move forward, or may be just to stop and admire that which you’ve already created, because it’s yours to do with as you wish, you feel energised.

Happy building.

Have a good one
