Unlucky for some but not for me.
What some may perceive as bad luck may
of course be an unfortunate set of circumstance, but luck well...
As Jonathan Bach wrote in his book
about the reluctant messiah, and I'm working form memory here so I
may not get it exactly right.
All the things in your life are
there because you have drawn them there; what you choose to do with
them is up to you.
By drawn I mean
attracted them to us rather than putting pen to paper to create a
picture.
On second thoughts,
I guess it is a picture of sorts that we are drawing in our brains.
Those of you who
know me may by now have realised that
I am eternal
optimists. My glass is always half full.
I saw a great
poster the other day that said something like You shouldn't mind
stormy weather because it give you the opportunity to dance in the
rain
Remember when you
were a kid, how much fun it was when it was raining to put on the wet
weather gear and jump in puddles. It's a pity that most grown ups
seem to have forgotten the pure joy in simple things like splashing
in puddles.
Then there was
Sydney Freeman the psychologist from the TV programme M*A*S*H ( and
yes I know he was the creation of somebody's imagination and not a
real psychologist), anyway he said Ladies and gents take my advice
pull down you pants and slid on the ice.
OK it would be a
bit chilly, bit what I think he was saying was throw out your
inhibitions and live life.
Some other wise
person left instructions to Dance like nobody's watching'
So kick off your
inhibitions and leave your cares where they belong, you may not have
control of what is going on around you but you have total control
over how you let it affect you and how you react to it....
Nelson Mandela is a
prime example, the world would be a much better place if we all
followed his example.
