Bad things

Posted on by philipdodson

I’m 54 years old and I struggle to think of anything that has happened to me that has been really bad, as in life threateningly awful, really, really bad. Furthermore, anything that I have not been able to deal with.

Yet in my mind, I have imagined almost every horrific thing that you could come up with and not just once but again and again and yep, again. If all the bad things I had imagined might happen, had happened, well I wouldn’t be 54 and I wouldn’t be writing this blog. Even if 1% of them had occurred, then life would have been beyond description ‘bad’.

We can stop our worrying…bad things happen in the mind, which we control. In real life not much happens really…we to be worried about and the worrying stops us enjoy the good.

2.6 billion chances

Every unfolding moment, this second, is a new opportunity to do something different, if we feel we want to. If we are stuck, we can change it.

Over the course of a typical life, that is 2.6 billion opportunities to change something. Yet we feel ‘I’ve blown it, there’s no second chances!’…insane, eh?

Never stay stuck, ignore the fear of the mind, which we alone create if we choose to, and just start something new…now. Now is where everything happens and it is the eternal never ending present moment, the moment that our real life plays out and not in the endless thoughts of our mind and its fears.
