Sitting low.. |
What’s Happening Right
Now?
Okay, I’m
going to keep this one brief; I’m in a hotel room that has one of those chairs
that won’t adjust up. So I’m sitting down low and reaching up to the key board
like a character from a Carol Burnett skit. (Go Google it youngsters.)
Anyway, I
want you to read this then stop and pay close attention to what’s happening
now. Then I want you to think again and see what’s really happening.
After reading
this next paragraph, close your eyes (I can hear my mother saying, “I’m not
closing my eyes. That’s how you get your pocketbook taken,”) ignore my mom and
close them anyway.
When you do
think about what is happening right now. Give it about a moment (which by the
way is 3 minutes) and then come back to the next paragraph.
Okay, now, what came to your mind?
Did you think of what had not been done and what you needed to get back to? Did
you think of the argument you had last, or the bill you need to pay?
Obviously,
there is much more going on than what came to mind first. We tend to think of the things that are somewhat broken because we want
to get better and we want to find solutions.
You have what you need, but you have
to get past the everyday stuff of life to get to it.
Now, I’d
like you to close your eyes again and see all that is wonderful in your world
right now. I’d like you to see the good that always exists right next to
everything else.
Imagine the most wonderful solution
to your situation and see yourself smiling.
Here’s the
thing; life happens, and it is as the young folks say, all good.
So I’m sitting low,
thinking high and hoping you can see just how good you have it.
Be you, be well, be the
happening.
