....BUT WHY ME LORD..???’ How many times have we asked that question? We sometimes feel paranoid, singled out, and the butt of a joke that God himself has perpetuated. Sitting there on his cloud, waving his omnipotent finger at us - mere mortals with endless flaws, too many to consider let alone deal with. Then, randomly throwing lightning bolts into our complex lives, God screws up just about every damned thing we do. If God himself is against us, what hope have we got?
Life can look damned dismal looking from that perspective. In fact, attributing our failures and misguided actions to anything or anyone, including God, is our first mistake. Let me explain...
Isn't it amazing that every time we get a little extra cash in our hand: bonus, tax return, whatever, the very next day a bill arrives. And wouldn't you know it; it’s about the same amount. That little breathing space, that potential reward is torn from our hands, so close yet so far; so why is that?
When you think you struggle with bills, just make ends meet, never have enough for those little luxuries, that’s exactly what happens. You expected it, so that’s what you get. Simple: succinct, truth, reality.
So let’s get back to our question...'Shit happens...but why always me?’ It happens, because that’s what we believe, it’s how we think, and it’s our rotten, stinking attitudes . So who can we blame? Who’s gonna take the wrap for this one? Yep, you got it- we’re to blame, lock, stock and barrel.
You see the answer is simple, but often simplicity escapes our attention. We live such frantic and stressful lives that it’s not easy to gain a broad perspective. Instead we live in a cocoon of security and safety and see little of what’s happening around us. The fact is that ‘how we think and what we think’shapes our lives in extraordinary detail. Our circumstance, our income, our standard of living, friendships, relationships, our entire day-to-day life is a result of our own thinking, one way or another. And this is no esoteric hypothesis , this is a fact that you can easily prove for yourself. Today, I’m going to show you how.
Are your heads starting to spin? There’s a few interesting expressions out there, I'm sure. ‘God, my thinking must really suck!’ ‘There must be someone else I can blame?’ ‘Who the hell is this guy?’
So who am I , you may ask? Who am I that I can simply hand you this seemingly implausible revelation?
Personally I’m an inquisitive person, I like to know how things work, and more importantly I’m open, open to new concepts, to change and I creatively aspire to understand more about this life journey we share.
