New perspectives

I’m beginning to do things differently.

I’ve been stuck in a rut and trapped in old habit patterns for far too long. 

True, I may not have all the power I could wish for, at least, not yet. However, that’s beginning to change and there ARE powerful factors I can and am beginning to exert an influence over.

On our morning walk yesterday my wife said she’s noticed I’m less negative. Do you have any idea how empowering a statement like that is, coming as it does from the person I love and respect most in the world?

It’s a huge, huge thing: a revelation.

I’m now thinking fresher, more vibrant thoughts and I’m looking at old issues from some surprising new perspectives.

For the first time in YEARS, I’m beginning to see REAL options and GENUINE alternatives that a few months ago might well have seemed incredibly remote if not completely far-fetched.

I’m beginning to see and to understand that when (not if), WHEN we’re willing and open to being inventive, optimistic, and creative, SUDDENLY, and as if by magic, the world—our world … MY WORLD is suddenly becoming a more open, friendlier, more relaxed and flexible place.

Two weeks ago today, I lost my job. The first week and a half after the event were rough in lots of ways: emotionally, psychologically, physically and the lows of the last two weeks have been awful.

But now? Now I see I don’t really have a ‘problem’. Now, I see I have a an incredible opportunity.
