A simple step

I was just reading an interesting article on space.com about an asteriod hurtling through space towards us, apparently set to pass somewhere between us and our moon. At 400m across and the same size lengthways, it is a pretty big thing. That got me thinking about the moon and its' influence on our world. Doing a little research shows that our moon, whilst sitting quietly glowing upon us at night in an unassuming manner, our moon actually commands a lot of influence. The moon influences the magnetic fields on the Earth, thereby affecting the tides ( http://www.astronomytoday.com/astronomy/earthmoon.html ). It draws all sorts of wildlife towards it, especially moths - I don't know why (let me know). Apparently it also has an effect on winds. The weblink above talks to us also about the collision of a large mass with the Earth long long ago and it's effect on the moon's influence over us. I wonder if the asteroid heading our way will create any change for ou...

To walk our own path under the influence of others... Or to walk a path on our own ... Is there a difference? Does it matter? How does the mind manage influencers? Why do influencers cause us to change path? How much does instinct and gut feeling impact?

We are all influenced, every day, by the events that occur, by the people we interact with, by the way we feel. We choose the latter - we are responsible for the way we feel. We seek peace of mind and contentment. We try to control what happens in our lives to achieve this. Can we control what goes on, or not? We can control - How we feel What we do Where we go How we go about it We all have triggers - words, experiences - that influence us. These triggers relate to past experiences and to the way we deal with them. Understanding our own minds helps us to move past these and gain clarity on the positive influences, the things that help us to move forward confidently.
