It’s OK to accept good things

Posted on by philipdodson

Often, when work is going well or we have some good news, or we’re having a fab time with friends, family and life is feeling great, we then think ‘this won’t last’ or ‘too good to be true’ or ‘something bad is sure to happen’ and so on.

It’s at this moment that we could choose to just accept that everything is going well and it is OK to enjoy that, there is no need to fear or to feel guilty or play it down.

Accept what is, enjoy the moment and just be. Why choose to spoil it and inflict mental pain upon ourselves? Why choose bad?

Unexpected

Posted on by philipdodson

We are now almost unable to cope with unexpected.

We have been conditioned so long to safe, certain, risk-free, ironclad, sure things that when the wheels come off, we seem to go into individual or collective meltdown.

Human beings came from the plains of Africa 70,000 years ago to inhabit every corner of the globe and thrived on what was around the next corner, thrived on unexpected, relished the adventure that is the magic of life and overcame unbelievable obstacles and setbacks.

Now, if the milk is one day out-of-date panic breaks out.

Plain sailing never stays that way, look forward to the unexpected and drop the fear of it. Life is amazing when we do not know the outcome.
