Hello everyone,
As I was driving back to the desert this last weekend from
the Pacific Northwest, complaining in my mind
about the fact that I don’t actually like living in the desert, I noticed how
not-good those complaints were making me feel. And since I happen to know from
experience that I, myself, am the only one who can ever change how I feel, I
decided to do something about it.
I thought about what my personal beliefs are. I thought
about “Choose Your Universe” and what that material means to me. I thought
about my understanding that the Universe (God. The Divine) is always for
expansion and fuller expression. And I thought about going back to work in the
office and being asked “How are you?” I want to be able to give a positive
response to that question. I want to know that just because I don’t like living
in the desert does not meant that I can’t absolutely love my life here.
I have decided that my response from now on to the question,
"How are you?" is going to be, "Better than ever!" Why? Two
reasons.
First, I really do believe that the Universe is always for
expansion and fuller expression, and if that’s really the way it is, then “better
than ever” is a completely accurate response, isn’t it? (It makes me smile to
look at it this way!)
Second, deliberately responding with, “Better than ever” is
going to take some practice, and it’s going to take diligently getting into the
feeling of it. I see this as a great opportunity to pay attention in all
situations and interactions with others and choose to be “more compassionate
than ever” or “stronger than ever” or “more accepting than ever” or “more
patient than ever” or to have “more self-respect than ever” or… The list is
actually pretty long and, in fact, could very well be “ever expanding,” couldn’t
it? :-)
So right now, I am choosing to be – and to feel – better than
ever. Join me if you choose to.
Love
Sandi
P.S. Just an fyi – I have deleted all of my social media
accounts. I am doing a year-long, “life without social media” personal
experiment. No more Facebook, Twitter, etc. for me until October 1, 2018 (if by
then I actually have a desire to get back into it. I hope I don’t.)
