Stay on the Sunny Side
🕑 Added 2020-06-23 12:47:57 +0000 UTCLast night I drew up the plans for my dream house. I do that every so often, to keep my vision focused and motivation fresh. Like anybody, ocassionally my day dreams wander into the "daymare" territory. I don't even realize I'm subjecting myself to unnecessary bad feelings until I've already dreamed up 2 or 3 cry or kill worthy scenarios. These days, I'm doing my best to become aware of these unhappy fantasies right as they begin and shift my focus into something more logical, as in a resolution, realistic or not. It is illogical to dream up a future in which you fail, as your only working against your true nature as a successful human. Some say, "it prepares you for whatever doom may come", I say you are preparing doom to be welcomed into your reality and you can tell by the way it makes you feel. Success is enjoying life, its challenges, the expansion they lead to. Failure is dreading the challenges, ignoring or hiding from them in stagnancy. So when these dreaded bad day dreams start lurking, I remind myself, what a perfect opportunity to expand my creative problem solving skills this is! I never stop the thought before I find at least one good solution. Let the thought of this or that going wrong come, and enjoy the infinite ways your clever mind can resolve the issue. Whether its "realistic" or not is besides the point, the emotion of overcoming a challenge with a knowing of success, that energy will carry you through the blessed challenges that will endlessly find you in the name of growth. How fun! In my mind, most problems I think up are solved with trust, love and educating.
Its a great way to break up patterns that repeat in your life. You don't have to live through 10 lovers who cheat on you, you can just learn the lesson in your head, change your triggered emotions on the issue from fearful, worried, suspicious, needy, not in control, to trusting, excited, enjoying, independently satisfied, undoubted love, and the same person in a different body will stop trying to teach you a lesson you've already learned.
That's what I have observed in my life!
