Be Do Have
Most of us, myself included, even though I supposedly know better, go through life thinking we need to HAVE something in order to DO something in order to BE something.
Smarter and more emotionally evolved people than me, have said to flip it, and if you Be the type of person who has what you want, then you will DO the necessary actions to make it happen and you will HAVE whatever it is you are seeking be wealth, happiness, relationship ..
The principle has been around for quite a while....
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
“You can have anything you want – if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.” Abraham Lincoln
It sounds wonderful in theory, but how does it really work for us ordinary folk?
What do I need to do, who do I need to be and for how long to get to where I want to go.
I think a big part of it is letting go of our stories of how things should ( there's that ugly word again) look and perhaps go back in to a time when we looked at life as an adventure, when we couldn't wait to get up in the morning to see what was going to happen, when life was new and exciting, when everything was a learning experience.
Imagine living life like a 2 year old, with endless energy and taking happiness from the simplest things.
When my oldest son was 2 years old he had to watch the movie BUZZ LIGHTYEAR OF STAR COMMAND https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181196/
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and he loved it eveytime! The joy he took in that movie was something I can't even imagine today.
Bur what if I could,
What if you could?
What would life be like if we could recapture the ease and happiness that we had a 2 years old?
Who wouldn't want that?
My invitation to you, is join me on the adventure.
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
