In your journey of life you will talk to hundreds, possibly thousands, of people. Each one of those people has their own ideas of who you are. Many times these people will voice their opinion to you. Sometimes you will like what you hear and at other times you will hate or even despise what they say.
Because there will always be people saying things to you, you have to know for yourself what it is that you are supposed to do on this earth. You have to know what you want and who you are. If you don’t, people will create your reality for you. Then, because you believe what everyone else says, you will begin to attract those things into your life and before you know it you will be living a life that other people have created for you.
Les Brown once said, ‘Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.’ You see, you have to know what it is that you want in life and where you are going so that you can create your own reality. By doing this, you will be able to attract the things that you want in life, not what other people are projecting on you.
If you don’t like the reality that you are currently living in, then you need to do two things. First, find out if you are allowing other people to dictate your reality for you. If you are, then stop listening to what people are saying and begin to create your own reality.
Second, if people’s opinions aren’t the problem, then you need to begin to change what you are currently doing in your life. You will attract what you believe through your words and actions. So, begin to change what you say and change what you do day in and day out. Once you do this, you will begin to create the reality that you truly desire.

Tibetan Self-Help Refugee Center in Darjeeling
By: Amy | 25-08-2008
We had a very moving visit to the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre in January 2008. We were impressed with the effort to provide training, income and care for these fine people - who were most gracious to us. At the time, we ordered a beautiful carpet - for delivery later this year. I've been trying to reach the office to discuss the order and to change the shipping address. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reach anyone by phone. The numbers on the receipt have all been disconnected. Has something happened to the center? I certainly hope not. Does anyone have current contact information? Thank you.
