In some fantasy and SF stories, such as the Matrix, it is suggested that our life is overshadowed by a designer or architect. Have you ever wondered for a moment that you have created the "program" of reality that you are living now and that you are observing or may observe later the outcome of your life as you may have predicted the way it would be before you were born?

No, I control what happens to me for the most part in this life, but I didn't create the universe I live in.

Have I ever dreamed that I could design my own life? Sure. Do I ever imagine if I had created my own reality? Yep.
And then I realize that I need to get up off my rear, because I am the architect of my life, and the building is not yet complete.
Those who sit back and simply allow life to happen are building with their eyes closed, and then they complain when it all crashes down. Those who stand up and take control of the structure of their lives have a solid foundation to stand on.

Yes, that is what I believe. I think that life is all about choices, so why wouldn't God let us choose whether or not to come here in the first place? I believe we choose our family, mate/mates, abilities/ disabilities, etc before we get here, and that we draw the people/conditions that we have chosen to us in life. This life is just an illusion, our real life is our life in spirit, so nothing that happens here can hurt us- because none of it is real- we made it all up!

We all are architects. We've been given the power to design our own lives. The thing is that many still don´t know which path to take.

I believe I am the one who controlled what I wanted out of life. When your connections are entertwined you lose control because you can't control your own situation at that point unless you are selfish and self-centered.
