Sand art astounds me. I love the skill and creativity behind it. In fact, I appreciate all kinds of art. In particular, sculpture is a fantastic art form. Creating something wonderful out of a large block of stone catches my interest.
The single most important realization I've come to in my 24 years on this planet is that we create our own realities. This happens through our own biases, perceptions, and beliefs. Our minds cannot process all of the information we receive, so our brain chooses between pieces of information.
Thus, if we decide what to believe, we effectively become master sculptors of our own realities. However, this requires a strong internal locus of control. Many people lack this and believe they are at the mercy of external circumstance.
While many natural laws and external factors do affect our lives, it is more healthy to believe that we ultimately have more control than not. We are inherently repelled by people who complain and adopt the woe-is-me mentalities (unless we do the same, in which case we may draw those people into our lives).
While I cannot say that I believe the law of attraction actually changes physical reality, it is an unnecessary claim because we can change our realities simply by changing our perceptions.
Try this quick exercise with me. Take a moment and look around you and notice all of the things which are blue. Go ahead, take a few moments right now. I'll wait.
...now, can you tell what was red?
Probably not (unless the guy in front of you is wearing a red shirt). This is because our reticular activating system directs our attention (which I also describe as presence or awareness) toward one thing or another rather than trying to soak in all information and then filter it.
As a result, our attention becomes one of the most influencing forces in our lives. We can either wire or brains to focus on the positive or the negative. Habitual use then strengthens these circuits. Thus, changing our brain structures changes our realities.
Our behaviors come from our brains circuits, but behavior also changes our brain circuits. It's a loop phenomena.
Realize that you are the Michelangelo of your own life. You have the power to sculpt your own reality.
