Ego’s greatest fear is that you will, one day,
discover Just how powerful you really are.
from BEING THE SOLUTION, Darel Rutherford,  p. 56

=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
What if 99% of all problems in life persist only because
we humans focus on the problem and not its solution?

If that were the case,  the real problem is in your focus.
The obvious solution then, would be to change your focus,
wouldn’t it?
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

Every moment of your life, whether you realize it or not,
requires a BEING choice. Before you can take whatever
action the moment requires, you must first choose to BE the
one who will or will not respond to the situation.

Even when you choose not to choose or not to respond, you
are, in fact, choosing to BE someone who chooses to DO
nothing.

Actually, there are three choices in every situation: you can,
chose to fight, run, or hide. In other words, you can act, react,
or do nothing.

The value in being aware that each moment in life requires a
BEING choice is that once you accept this premise as your
reality, you cease forever in being a victim . Heaven forbid that
you BE that powerful!

If you think you’re not a victim, think again. You’re being a
victim whenever you complain about anything. I frequently
complained about the weather, when I lived in Phoenix, AZ.
I especially hated it when I got into a car that had been
setting out in the Sun all day in 120-degree heat.

To get real value out of this example, you must see that I was
choosing to BE a victim of the heat.

How did I stop being a victim? I hated the summers in
Phoenix, until I realized that I had my own private sauna
every evening when I got off work. In those days, I played
golf every weekend. After each game, I spent time in the sauna.

Notice that the heat didn’t go away when I stopped being a
victim. The only thing that changed was my attitude about the
heat. In other words, I changed who I was being relative to
the weather, and the problem was no longer part of my reality.

Then every weekend, when I played golf in Albuquerque, my
golfing buddies complained about the terrible 90-degree heat,
and I got to laugh at their victim stories. Your BEING choice,
when you’re complaining about anything, is nothing more
serious than a point of view that can be changed when you’re
ready to stop being the victim.

You’ll get real value out of this message if and when it finally
dawns on you that every moment of your life requires a
BEING decision.

As you read this, you must decide to accept what I’m saying
as gospel or reject it because it doesn’t fit your current
concept of reality. Either way, you’ve made a BEING decision.

My guess is that you’ll reject what I’m saying here, because
accepting it destroys your victim story and makes you powerful.

Ego’s greatest fear is that you will, one day,
discover Just how powerful you really are.

So, my advice for you today:
Each time in life that you find yourself in an uncomfortable
situation, realize that the circumstance requires a BEING
decision prior to your deciding what to DO. Then ask yourself,
“Who would I be BEING if I were no longer stressed by what’s
happening here?

When you choose past the stress to a new way of looking at
the problem, you’ve applied the BEING solution to your problem.

Try this problem solution next time you feel stressed, or when you
think you have something to complain about. You’ll be amazed at
how powerful you feel once you’ve taken the power out of the
circumstances and given it back to yourself.

The following was taken from BEING THE SOLUTION, page 51:
"Being human means you have a point of view, and because you
have a point of view, you live in a box. That’s just the way the game
is set up.

You create a box, call it reality, and then you get to experience what
it’s like BEING you in that reality. You will remain in that box until it
becomes too uncomfortable to stay.

To come out of your box, you  must choose out by changing your
mind about who you will BE in a new and more nurturing reality.
You’ll find the power for that change of mind when you admit to
yourself that you put yourself into that box and then decide that
you’re ready to choose out.

Outgrowing your box
The Game of Life is set up so that, from time to time, our once-
comfortable box becomes uncomfortable and confining. After a
while, even a feather bed no longer feels cushy. Discomfort forces
us out of our box, demanding that we build a bigger, more
comfortable box.

Fulfilling life’s true purpose (self-discovery) requires the growing of
our self-image. Spirit in us mandates this growth in consciousness.

To stay on track with our expanding consciousness, we must,
occasionally, pass Go (be transformed). That means trading in
our old game piece in favor of a larger, more self-aware piece
(enhanced self-image) so we can be allowed to play the game at
the next level.

We do have a choice in the matter of whether or not we come out
of our box."

We can hide out in fear, surviving in discomfort,
or we can bravely create a new, more comfortable box.

According to statistics, about 85% of those who choose out of their

They fail because they were not aware of their built-in resistance to change.
And because they were unaware of that resistance, they were not equipped
to deal with it.

I can show you how do you deal with that resistance
