Oh we think that we're oh so clever planning, organising, figuring out how we're going to get to where we want to go. Not just a wast of time but... read this morning's Reflection

 

 

 

 

This Week's Reflection

 

Not only will planning and figuring out (both thinking brain activities!) get us nowhere, they will actually discourage us to the point where we could be forgiven for thinking that we'll never get out of what ever rut we think we're in, that we'll never move our lives forward.

For thinking brain activities employ... thinking! Who'd have thought?!! And thinking engages the brain's default automatic settings. And, once engaged, the Autopilot will, like any autopilot, always bring us back to where our programs tell it! So, 'round and 'round in ever decreasing circles we go. Thinking that we're going places on normal "life's" sorry-go-'round!

And most people are prepared to stay put and enjoy the ride!! Sometimes, though, the sorry-go-'round spins way out of control and throws us off. Spinning ans skittering across the ground we hit what we like to call "rock bottom". And then and only then will we grab life by the scruff of the neck, pull ourselves together, dust ourselves off and start movig forward. When things get that low it's actually a survival thing - and we're good at that.

Yet any of us can simply step off the sorry-go-'round any time of our own choosing - it's just that life often does for us what we should have done for ourselves.

So, try another ride on life's fairground. Why not the roller-coaster? Because, when we really get our head together, the only way is up. Yes, everyday life will still have its ups and downs but we'll always be riding that adventure, ever moving forward.

The moral of the story? Do what you need to do today and don't wait life's vagiaries to force your hand. Take the plunge today.
