Do you know that every moment that you spent today complaining you could have been CREATING?
Every moment you spend angry you could have spent BLISSFUL?
Every time you tried to change someone's mind you could have spent
LEARNING SOMETHING NEW? Every second spent disparaging a person,
religion, belief or law could have been spend UNCONDITIONALLY LOVING?
Every thought used to worry about how our environment or civil rights
are doomed could have been APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY OF OUR WORLD. That
every second spent feeling stress, worry and fear could have been spent
GENEROUSLY SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY? That every concern about the future
could have been spent ENJOYING YOUR PRESENT? That every time you tried
to prove how right your opinion is could have been spent FEELING THE
UNLIMITED FOUNTAIN OF INNER HAPPINESS?
Do you realize that ALIGNMENT AND JOY are available to you at all times?
I
do. I am loved. And it's all going to be fine. Even if it's not how I
imagined or wished it to be. Even if it's not the most comfortable
result. It's still perfect. I will flow with it. And enjoy it.
Over my adult life if I have spoken in the moments of being angry or triggered - I normally didn't say something constructive or sweet.
And I have also noticed that other people do the same thing. If they are:
- jealous
- scared
- defensive
- sad
- annoyed
- righteous
- other other...
They are not going to be considerate or thoughtful.
So instead of reacting - I am learning to realize that their mean words are not personal - it's what is going on for them!
As
I practice being BLiSS in the face of turmoil - it helps me to know
that I can be happy and sweet no matter how rude, wrong or unkind they
are. At the end of the evening - I know who I was today - and my
conscience is clear.
Riding on a plane ✈️ is much like the journey of life - every passenger is having their own experience - even though the
circumstances are seemingly the same - each one of us use our own filter
to discern whether it's a "good trip" or a "bad trip".
We just flew
home to #losangeles from #chicago on my favorite domestic airline #southwestairlines and had an amazing flight.
The
view and weather were great. The plane was on time and clean (as
usual). The staff were funny and professional. We watched free TV - ate
Oreos and landed safely.
I am always so amazed by flying in these huge machines - smooth as a bird.
And so grateful for my love by my side.
I'm sure other people had a very different journey that my experience - but we do get to choose bliss or complaint!
If you are starting to get grumpy - ask yourself - how can I make this experience more enjoyable for myself with a simple mindset shift?
