THANKS FOR THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS!!!!

THANKS FOR THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS!!!!

As I reached for my smoothie (thanks to Eric Edmeades) in the refrigerator, I told Robin “thank you for my smoothie” (which I say every day) and “thank you for my hard boiled egg”.  And then I remembered to thank Costco for making it available...and then I remembered to be thankful for the trucking in of all those items, for the egg producers (especially for the chickens), and everything that made it possible. (Oh… and thanks for learning about the benefits of intermittent fasting, as I am just starting to eat at 12 pm…)  

And then I remembered how blessed and how grateful I am for having Robin in my life and for how great a person she has become and how good she is with me and for me...

And then...

This always trumps fear

When we are stuck in fear, with constant, but useless, repeats of what’s wrong and what ifs... we forget the massive blessings we have.  Indeed!

Overcoming Hopelessness - So Very Inspiring, From The Man With No Limbs...

I couldn’t help but be touched and inspired by this...by “seeing what we have and not angry for what we don’t have”...by the realistic hope that there is for all of us in this world...

At the very core of life, and of happiness, lies the realization that life is not about what we don’t have but about the incredible “gifts” we do have.    I’ve built up quite a collection on The Site related to appreciating what we do have, which is immense, though we seldom see it that way.  See What I Have For Sure - My Mountain Of “Haves” Versus The Preposterous Idea Of Unrealistic Expectations.  It is preposterous how we see so well what we don’t have, while we have the ability at our core to do dramatically great things in life, including creating an experience that is beyond beyond....Am I Capable Of Creating An Excellent Life?  Can I Have Confidence In Reaching That Level? (That is the key question to answer in life, to release us to freely create all we want in life without fear...)
