We live our life through the constructs we have chosen to believe in. They were created; they can be re-created. Life is a do-over once we see we are trapped in a particular construct. We can free ourselves from the existing boundaries of any unwanted construct; and use a purposeful construct to recreate our lives into beauty, health, abundance, happiness and joy.

Ignorance is a lie; A construct of entitlement. Separation is a lie; A construct of inflated ego. Hatred is a lie; A construct of self-directed loathing. Powerlessness is a lie; A construct of apathy. Racism is a lie; a construct of ignorance. Entitlement is a lie A construct of degradation. Death is a lie; A construct of embedded fear. Poverty is a lie; A construct of perverted power. Dominance is a lie; A construct of perversion. Construct: A complex image or idea formed of a number of simpler images or ideas. Reconstruct: rebuild from the ground up. Thoughts are things, and words have power to transform; A construct of enlightenment. Chula Fleming© 11/16/2017
