We are responsible.
Responsible for our words, for our thoughts, and—most of all—for how we meet our emotions.
Among these, words are the easiest to take responsibility for. They move more slowly than thoughts and emotions, and we can choose them with more awareness. Then come thoughts, which move faster and are often trickier to catch. And lastly, emotions—the most immediate and often the most overwhelming. They rise like waves, sometimes before we know why. But even then, we are not powerless. We can observe. We can listen. And we can choose.
Words, in fact, are often the result of both our thoughts and emotions. So if we begin with words—if we take care in how we speak—we are already shifting our inner world. And from there, our outer world begins to shift too.
Because we are always creating—through every word we speak, every thought we repeat, every feeling we hold on to or release.
Creation Begins Not With Action, But With Perception
Creation is not just about what we do. It’s about how we see.
This difference matters deeply. Because what we see may be neutral, but how we see it is a choice. It’s shaped by belief, memory, and energy. And the moment we shift the way we perceive something, the thing itself begins to change.
This is not just metaphor. This is a profound truth.
When we change how we see things, things change.
That shift in perception opens new paths. A snowstorm becomes stillness. A challenge becomes growth. An emotion becomes a teacher.
Your Words Are Spells
Every time we speak, we’re sending vibration into the fabric of life. Our words don’t just affect others—they shape the climate inside us. Words carry belief. And belief gives structure to energy.
This is why a simple sentence like “Ugh, I hate this weather” holds more power than we realize. It doesn't just describe the day—it reinforces a frequency that then reflects back to us in our experience.
That’s how perception creates reality. Through repetition, through emotion, through vibration.
Emotions as Shapers
Our emotions are raw energy—quick, alive, often overwhelming. But they are not wrong. They are signals. When we observe them instead of reacting blindly, they reveal the deeper stories we carry.
Some emotions are painful. But even the pain is sacred when seen with presence. Because every unhealed emotion is already shaping the way we interpret the world. That’s why emotional awareness is essential: the more conscious we become of what we feel, the more consciously we create.
Quantum Truths and Infinite Possibility
At the most subtle levels of existence, reality is not fixed. It is potential.
Quantum physics points to this: that at the level of particles, reality exists in a state of possibility until it is observed. It is our attention—our perception—that collapses possibility into form.
This mirrors what spiritual traditions have always said: what you see is what you become. What you believe is what you live. What you give your energy to becomes your experience.
And that’s why how we see matters. That’s why we must choose perception consciously.
Perception Is Everything
When I first came to Canada, I remember how many people would complain about the snow—how cold it was, how depressing winter felt. But I always loved the snow. I saw its beauty, its silence, its white mystery. And I began to realize that what made winter hard for many was not the snow itself—it was the perception of it.
It’s the same with many things. My husband once told me he had chosen to like the smell of skunks (moufettes, in French). He simply made a decision: instead of hating it, he would embrace it. And now, when he smells it, he smiles. It brings him peace.
That’s the power of perception. That’s how energy transforms. With choice.
I’ve had the same experience with rain. For years, I resisted walking in it—believing I could get sick, that it was unpleasant. But in 2023, when I walked 850 kilometers across Spain, I had no choice. I walked in rain for entire days. And it was… fine. Even beautiful. I got wet, yes—but I was okay. It was just water. And I was alive in it.
That shift in perception gave me freedom.
Be Mindful With Others Too
We are not only responsible for the energy we bring to ourselves—we are also responsible for what we bring into shared spaces.
It’s so easy to complain out loud: “Ugh, the world is falling apart.” “This weather is horrible.” “Politics are a disaster.” These may feel like harmless statements, but they carry a heavy vibration. And we pass that vibration to others like emotional clutter.
We’re throwing our internal garbage into the room.
And the people around us may or may not receive it—but if they’re vibrating at a similar level, they may unconsciously absorb it. That’s why awareness matters—not just for us, but for the collective.
And we too can choose how we respond when others speak from negativity. We can choose silence. We can shift the energy with a different perspective, gently offered. We can hold our vibration steady instead of matching theirs.
We don’t have to take on the weight of someone else’s perception. That too is a form of creation.
Faith, Responsibility, and Vibration
Some call this the law of attraction. Others call it faith. But at the heart of both is this truth: you create what you believe.
You create what you feed.
It’s not about denying pain or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about becoming conscious of what you’re feeding—of which side you’re choosing. The side of fear or of trust. Of heaviness or of wisdom. Of complaint or of creation.
Even when we can’t change a thought or feeling instantly, the simple act of witnessing it with awareness begins the shift. And with time, awareness becomes clarity. Clarity becomes choice. And choice becomes transformation.
The World Reflects You
Are we looking for the lesson, or only for the obstacle? Are we interpreting life as unfair, or as intelligent? Are we willing to see differently?
As Sartre said, “Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.” And mystics have echoed this for centuries: the outer world is a mirror of the inner world.
So today, begin again.
With a word. With a thought. With the way you see your own life. Every moment is a new brushstroke in the painting of your existence.
You are not just a participant in this world. You are a creator.
And when you change how you see things… things change.
