Maybe I’m wrong

Posted on by philipdodson

I’ve become a huge fan of Fearne Cotton’s brilliant podcast, Happy Place and I’m loving her book ‘Bigger Than Us’.

So a recent podcast was with a bloke called Björn and his uplifting story about his time as a forest monk in Thailand.

I won’t spoil the episode but one huge takeaway was the story he told about learning from the Abbott of the monastery who taught him the mantra ‘maybe I’m wrong’.

When you use it before engaging in any reaction to other people’s adverse opinions or behaviour towards use it is a game changer.

Our ego makes us believe we are s always right so we defend our beliefs to the death to win and ca right at any cost.

If we take a moment before reacting to say ‘maybe I’m wrong’ in our head, then inner peace comes.

Then again maybe I’m wrong.

How to become different

Posted on by philipdodson

Becoming stale in life is to do with lacking new and fresh experiences. We get stuck in our daily routines and thought where life becomes a pattern of unconsciousness. We yearn for different, yet follow the same path expecting something or someone to change it.

What we absorb mentally, physically and spiritually is what we become. If we put lots of interesting experiences and flavours in, the interesting stuff will manifest. If we imbibe bad vibes then our output will reflect that.

We are part of the collective, we are the one life and if we bring in positive energy, if we look after our body, mind and soul and create, then it creates that within us and others.

If however, we surround ourselves with negative energy, people, things, then of course that is what we become and what we spread.

If we want to do anything, then we have to be first, we have to become what we want to be and be it. Be it now, this moment and not think of when or of, but now. We have to create what we want.

If we want something different we have to become it and become it first.
