“What does ‘the thing named is not the thing,’ mean? It means whatever you label, the label does not suffice to describe the thing completely. The thing is so much more than the name you give it. True, whether it’s a rock or a human, but a human is more complex.

A human is consciousness, electricity, chemicals, energy. Arguably, so may be a rock. A human is living processes. A human makes decisions. A human wears many hats; a son or daughter, mother or father, boss or employee, sister or brother and more, simultaneously.

We only can label or judge or name an aspect of the human. We may describe ‘it’, or the identity, or the behaviors, or occupation or religion, race, nationality or whatever. We can’t get all of it. The thing named is beyond our ability to accurately and completely name.

Create A Positive Mindset And Maintain It – Think And Be Better

On top of that, the meaning of everything is the meaning you give it. You assign the meaning of the labels, the interactions and more. That was nice, bad, friendly, selfish etc., whether or not ‘that’ is actually any of those. It comes from your point of view due to your filters.

People, events and circumstances are whatever you decide them to be. Good or not so good. Worthwhile or worthless. A blessing or a lesson. You determine your reality. What you assign to anything determines how you view it and experience it. Do you realize this?

You have great power. You determine how you respond to yourself, your own thoughts, feelings and behaviors by how you judge them. You do the same with others and the world. You are a creator. Even if you don’t act like one, or think you are, you are. You’re powerful.

Change  Your Thoughts & Transform Your Life 

You are creating your world and your experience of it. You are creating your reality. You may not consider yourself powerful, but you are. You may not recognize you are a creator, but you are. Everything you experience is because of your consciousness.

This is a reason why reframing is powerful. Change the frame, the emphasis, the meaning, what you think caused it, the label, your point of view and the thing, person, process, event or circumstance changes. You experience it differently because of you. So I ask this?

What is the meaning you give to you? It makes all the difference in the world to you. I hope you come into your power. I hope you discover how immense and incredible you are. I hope you find out you are creating all of this. Perhaps, then you’d know the meaning of celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
