Good Morning and Welcome to a Wonderful New Week😊
Will You spend time this Monday morning wishing it was Friday afternoon?? the weekend? the Holidays? The New Year?…. or even this time next year!!!!
I used to be super guilty of this….my rationale being - by then I’ll have more time, I’ll have more money, I’ll be thinner, healthier, fitter, more in control of my life…. whatever it was that I felt I needed, to be more “complete”, to make my life "perfect"
For some time, my own particular favorite was – “I wish it was this time, next year”, (which, when I write it down, doesn't make any sense, it can never be "this time next year" what I meant was, if it was in December 2019, I had wished it was December 2020...which I know just sounds so ridiculous), when all my stress and worries would be gone, and whatever it was that I wanted to be improved, was magically so much better!!!!
Good grief….as if life wasn’t short enough, there I had been wishing it away…
So, what was it????
Laziness, Fear, Denial, Procrastination???
Perhaps, all of the above – There were some things I just didn’t want to deal with. What exactly did I think was going to happen…. that my fairy Godmother would sprinkle fairy dust over all of my issues and challenges, and magically solve everything?
Okay…. Reality check - Of course not, the only one that could “fix” things for me was me!!!
Firstly, I had to understand why I wanted these things, and what, if anything I was prepared to do to change them or achieve them. It was amazing how many of these “important” things that were preventing me from being happy, suddenly became rather trivial, were not mine to be fixed, or maybe they just weren't meant to be fixed after all, it was just my perception…. that when I looked closer at my own life, it was as wonderful, magical, and beautiful as I chose it to be.
And huge Wakeup Call – Life isn't perfect, in the same way that we, as fallible human beings, are not perfect. We all make mistakes, we all have things we want to change or improve, we all have so many different hopes, fears, challenges and dreams…… that’s what make each of us so completely unique. Life is messy, unpredictable, sometimes uncomfortable, but it is the only one we have on this planet.....and it truly is beautiful.
Some precious moments from my Monday Sunrise...
