SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - IS IT ALL RANDOM, OR WHAT?

Does it really matter?

Maybe a good strategy is to do our best and then deal with whatever consequences show up?

Maybe the path is about learning.  Maybe as we deal we just keep getting better and stronger - evolving and in that process healing ourselves and our world.

Sound too touchy feely?

Think about it…

What's the alternative?

DANCE WITH IT!  EXPERIENTIAL APPS                      An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

TAKE A MINUTE TO FOCUS ON SOME OF THE 'CHALLENGING' THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU THIS PAST YEAR.

Make a list.  How did you react?  

Did you judge yourself and others?

Now try re-thinking those events without the negative judgments…

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - GOLD DIGGING, continued...

When we look for the 'lesson', 'gift', 'take away' from a tough situation we are not, repeat, NOT, looking at fault or punishment.

This is not about negatives!

Just the opposite.

We are looking for opportunities to evolve, get stronger, wiser and ultimately happier. 

This is a crucial concept!  

If we go negative, we might as well throw away the experience and see it as wasted time.  If we look at everything as bringing something potentially valuable to us we never waste time!

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

TO DIG FOR GOLD…

Ask yourself what seemingly negative interactions or events keep happening in your life.

Now ask yourself how you traditionally react to them.

Is 'why me?' a typical response?

Do you feel punished?

Do these events lower your self esteem?

Do they make you feel alone?

Now image that one of those magical genies has popped out of a bottle and brought these same events into your life saying: "This is a gift.  If you look at this from a totally different angle you will get a tremendous reward!"

Before you roll your eyes and think this is total 'you-know-what', actually allow your creative imagination to take over and try it…

What do you find?

HOLD STILL? NOT POSSIBLE!

This is what I know:

Nothing in nature is static.

And of course that includes our lives - our relationships - our bodies - our needs and desires.

Everything evolves and devolves…

That's nature.

We can either accept it and dance with the changes…

Or fight it and be in the dark zone.

What do ya say?
