You can't get oil from a bore well

The world is a given. The only thing we have control over is our "way of being."

What is our "way of being" with various things? Some examples may be:

Son - critical
Daughter - complacent/taking for granted
World - dissatisfied
Sports/Exercise - resigned
Boss - suspicious
In-laws - angry

What if the world has a way of giving us more of what we are being in each area?

Then,
Son - will give us more reasons to be critical
Daughter - will give more reasons to take for granted
World - will give more dissatisfaction/imperfections
Sports/Exercise - will give more obstacles whenever we try
Boss - will give more reasons to be suspicious
In-laws - will give more reasons to get angry

Are we choosing our reality by our way of being?
Are we trying to get oil (we want oil) from a bore well (we keep feeling it is a bore well)?

All of us want "something else" from our world. Can we create it by being that way first?

What is our way of being this minute? skeptical? unsure? dismissive? curious? interested? Are we saying "I don't understand" or this is "too esoteric", "too simple", or "too philosophical"? Are we having a Ah-ha moment? ... Will it automatically become that? Can shifting our reality be that simple?
