Was communicating with a girlfriend this morning, who naturally inspired me to share this topic today. She was clearly expressing, that she didn’t dare make her normal pre-plans for an upcoming weekend, due to two different frightening events in her life, that happened consecutively, the last two years. And that it was a “trivial” weekend to formerly plan so far out anyway.
Weeeee … Ohhhhh … was my first inner reaction.
Due to her situations being so overwhelmingly draining, could there be no room to visualize any possibility for positive happening for her life ?
Does she now see all events as valueless, by verbally stating this one as trivial ? Maybe had the words been, “Trivial, compared to inspiration I now have for life”, I wouldn’t have consumed the negative vibes.
Sadly enough, our life will continually be thrown unwanted curve balls. Whether it be to extremely test our faith, our enthusiasm, or just cause we were unexpectedly in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Over an incident in my life 12 years, I have had to finally conclude, it was just wrong place wrong time. I was physically run over by a moving vehicle, cleanly breaking my ankle, having blood clots, and separately, requiring two surgeries. Luckily for me, the only basic negative outcome was, never to be able to wear 3 inch heels again, 60 extra pounds, with 13 months later, having to desperately need a hysterectomy, avertedly, because of it (long story). Oh, and continuously higher insurance ! Unfortunately for me too, I’ve yet to see the self knowledge I was to gain, so it finally became time to just chalk it up as a life happening.
In no way, am I suggestively insinuation that what life throws, is easy on any us ! And it can be very frustrating, agitating, difficult, and understandably, hard to see any light at times ! Just as in my own situation.
Therefore, the game of life becomes, in how we view what has happened to us, which literally has an impact on our future. Do we see it as ½ full or ½ empty. Do we frankly feel victim of our past or can we turn our life thoughts around, and be an inspiration to ourselves, for the good of our own future ?
"Negative thoughts directly affects our reality and brings doom/gloom into our life". by Dr Pepper, found on GodLikeProductions.com
We form our own destiny by the way we think and even in our use of words. If you say you can never loose weight or stop smoking, you won’t. If you say you’re not going to have fun, you won’t. Our subconscious “thoughts of forecast” doesn't want to prove us wrong. We will be right, in the beliefs we attain for ourselves !
Strongly asking, what do you have to loose, while personally holding onto, a glass 1/2 full ... A little happiness and sigh of relief till that new challenge comes your way (?). And what might one officially gain, in thinking of choices as more than trivial, other than a vision (?).
"We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision". Unknown author.
"Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference.” Joel Parker.
“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Jonathan Swift.
Is it possible to change our vision ? Of course it is. We have the ability to choose to change our way of thinking. Don‘t beat yourself up when you have a negative thought, however, prepare yourself in learning to just let that thought pass you right on by.
½ full ? ½ empty ?
