What I don’t have for you today is ADVICE!!
I’m sure you know many people who can give you that. So what I want to say is that you’re growing yourself through all the experiences you’re having , have had and will have – good, bad or indifferent.
As I have written on the back of my business card ‘Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans’ (John Lennon).
Well if you insert experience in place of life, that’s what you get when your plans don’t go as you wanted them to. This can be tough and yet experience is what enables you to build your coping muscle to deal with life.
As I’ve said earlier, this can apply to good, bad or indifferent experiences. When you have those wonderfully good times, you put them into the bank. You can then draw on them and they will bring a smile to your face and also internally to the cells of your body. They are always there to draw upon when you have those bad times.
However, much you wish and plan, life doesn’t always turn out as you wanted it to, and things don’t always occur when you expect them to. This is what makes life so interesting.
You realise eventually that you don’t have much control over what happens in your life if you are really open to it. This is what I call ‘being alive’ to our journey through life.
It’s not easy and yet you can see that life ebbs and flows just like the turning of the Seasons.
When you stop expecting things to be a certain way, you will appreciate them for what they are.
I can now say that I lied!! Here is my one piece of advice – go with the flow or swim with the tide.
