When left unobserved, my mind can play tricks on me.  The biggest trick it plays is the one where it makes me believe the lame excuses of why my future is limited or why my current reality won’t ever change.  One thing I’ve been playing with lately is the word regardless.

re·gard·less
Adverb: Without paying attention to the present situation; despite the prevailing circumstances

Because no matter what the current reality is or what others might be telling me (even “authorities” like doctors, teachers, bosses), the future is always a blank canvas yet to be painted.  Unless I can predict the future with 100% accuracy, then my predictions are just that, predictions, not certainties.  Possibilities that might come true.  So since I cannot know the future with full certainty, why not choose a frame of mind that gives me power, opens up my energy and most importantly, allows me to feel better in the present moment?
