Ladders of Life- Are you Climbing the Right Ladder?
What does it mean to climb the right ladder? By ladder, I’m referring to the aim of your life. The choices and direction you are choosing.
Everyone is climbing a ladder. Some are climbing a ladder to Wealth-Carrer-Health-Romance-Marriage-Family-Status-Peace-Spirituality-Etc.
Some are climbing a ladder to misery-Distruction-Poverty-Addiction- Avoidance-Resentment-Complacency-Fear-Blame-Living in the past-Etc.
These “Ladders” are Paths/Habits that lead to an incline or decline in our lives.
You are climbing a ladder right now. The ladder you are climbing is what you are directing your thoughts and attention towards.
Lao Tzu: Thoughts>Words>Actions>Habits>Character>Destiny
While everyone is unique and different, we all share a desire for a life of meaning and purpose. And the meaning and purpose in unique to you.
Take some time and ponder where your attention is focused everyday. This is the ladder you’re climbing.
We are all climbing multiple small ladders in our lives that lead to an overall big ladder of your destiny.
It’s okay to abandon a ladder you once thought was the correct one, and begin building a new or different ladder to replace it.
At the end of the day, it is your choice as to the ladder you choose to create and climb.
If you are unsure as to the ladder that is best for you, that’s perfectly fine. In this case, I would suggest abandoning ladders you know are destructive to your well-being and to those around you. This will make room for the ladders that are healthy and abundant for you.
Remember, you create your own reality. Create it as peaceful, extravagant, simplistic, abundant, or as destructive as you wish.
