That is btw also why often people with money win the lottery... they have the right vibration to offer money a home. They can create money, know how to manifest it AND how to hold on to and AND how to generate more.

Also why if poor people win, they will lose it real fast and end up even poorer than before they came into the money:
they haven't got the ability to generate money. If they did, they wouldn't have been poor.

People who can generate money... think Trump. He lost all his millions. Few years later he was a millionaire again. He has the ability to make money, hold on to it, make more.
That's cos he BELIEVES in himself, his deservedness of money & abundance.

Reality is based on perception and perception is based on the individual.
So yes, it can be argued that we make our own reality. However, there is a difference in types of reality. To which does the posting title refer to?

Just to be different. We do not create our own reality.
We all live in the Matrix, and everything has already been designated in our own individual realities.

Crappy thought huh?!

Amen. Yikes!

You turn your dreams into reality by taking chances.If you have something you really want you will be offered ways of achieving it, I know this from personal experience.

The trick is to recognize these opportunities and be willing to grasp them. This often requires taking risks but nobody ever offered you a guaranteed easy route through life or an easy path to achieving your desires. The opportunities will be presented by people you accidentally meet, by force such as losing one job and needing another or by the need to make a transition in life.

I was born in a small community with limited opportunities, very few people left the area after gaining a basic education. I met the people I needed to help me, I was given the opportunities, I took the chances. In retrospect it almost seems as though I was following my fate because as one door closed another opened and I was given the chance to prepare before the next door was opened. I retired at the top of my profession and when I look back at my path through life I can clearly remember every decisive step along the way. Some of the choices made along the way should have been truly scary but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I don't think we create our own reality, from my own experiences.

Decades ago a seer told my future, and she was perfectly accurate for over 30 years of my life. The story recorded on tape. No amount of dreaming, positivism, planning, and positive action/avoidance made any difference.
What she said would happen happened.
My best efforts couldn't sway things my way one bit.

Maybe there is some influence on how we arrive at key points of our lifetime, but maybe not the destinations.
