What if it is all in my mind?

What if my health is simply a reflection of my thoughts?  What if I feel my life is always hard and soon poor health follows?  Perhaps I am filled with anger or always act the victim.

What if I have the gift to appreciate even the smallest things in my life and it flows smoothly?  What if I feel I create my own experiences and that those who challenge me are great teachers?

Perhaps we have similar life experiences but how we handle them determines our future health.

What if I just start?

What if there are projects (my house is a mess, my yard is overgrown, my office work is in multiple piles, the craft projects are stacked on tables) that have become so overwhelming that I am frozen and just sit and watch TV when I am home?

What if this morning, I decide to clean one kitchen drawer or weed one small section of the garden or work on one office project for just 10 minutes and then appreciate myself for this success?

What if the next day I went a little further and before long I was amazed at my accomplishment?

What if I want to be happy?

What if the only reason I want the new car, the more spacious home, the better job, the fancy pet, the continuous travel, the fabulous painting, the latest style of clothing or the expensive jewelry is because I know it will make me feel better?

What if I just learned “how to feel better” and found that I did not need as much stuff as I thought I needed?

What if it is OK to enjoy all of the lovely things this planet has to offer if I am amassing them for the right reason and only I know what is best for me?

What if I have too much?

What if it is OK to have everything I want but over the years I have amassed a lot? What if I have six houses but rarely have time to enjoy any of them and just write checks each month to the gardeners, pool people and housekeepers? What if I have so many antiques that my home looks like a store and the dusting job is overwhelming? What if I have so many shoes that I can never find the ones I want to wear? What if I have such a great quantity of food that it is just rotting in my cabinets and garage before I can use it? What if I have 12 cars and the batteries are wearing down because I do not have time to drive them all? What if I have too much money and now my time is filled with accountants and checking statements but I worry that someone will steal it so I bury myself in the paperwork? What if I love animals but now my home is overrun  with too many and I do not have the time to give them the care or attention they deserve? What if I amass so many friends but do not have enough time to enjoy any of them?

What if I begin to simplify my life and get a little more balance and instead of accumulating more, find joy in de-cumulating a little each day and watch as life just gets better and better?

What if we could not get in?

What if in the United States, we are creating a big Karma and those generations in the future will have to deal with it?

What if a shift happens and both Mexico and all of South America become THE best places to live on this continent but we North Americans are not allowed across the border and if we do manage to cross somehow, we are looked down on and only given menial jobs to support ourselves?

What if he took the scary, steep path?

What if a friend and I are both in the process of getting loan modifications and we started about the same time?

What if I have been making my payments and sending paperwork and waiting patiently for an answer for the last 6 months?

What if he stopped making his payments and continually scrambles to find paperwork they request and get last years taxes done and is terrifying himself when the foreclosure letters come and the sale pending signs are posted on his door?

What if we have differnent ways of doing things and different things to learn?

What if I like calm and he thrives on drama?

 

What if I spoke softly?

What if I softened my approach when I am communicating with another person whose ideas I feel are incorrect?

What if instead of saying, “You are wrong, that will never work,” I said, “That is an interesting way of seeing it and we could also try this as well,” and then really listened to them?

What if improving my communication skills made my life much easier and we both got what we wanted?

What if their way really was the better way?

What if your belief comes true?

What if you believe that your housekeepers always break your things and do the job half way and even steal your stuff and when you hire them they break your things and do the job half way and steal your stuff?

What if I believe that the people I hire to help me in my home are great gifts who will take the best care of my possessions and clean in places I miss and leave my home energy feeling even better with their presence and they do?

What if what I focus on, I create?

What if she talked on and on?

What if I have a friend who talks endlessly about herself and rarely takes a breath so others can “have the ball” in the conversation?

What if because others never “get the ball” they choose not to play with her and shy away from her friendship leaving her with fewer and fewer people to talk to and so she talks more and more to the few who will listen?

What if this sweet soul needs and deserves attention and acknowledgment but she never allows the space for others to give it to her?

 

What if I slipped and got angry?

What if I slipped and found myself judging you and thinking harsh thoughts about why you do not do better with yourself?

What if I stopped and took a breath and put myself, as best as I could, into your shoes and tried to see life from your perspective and found that you are doing the absolute best that you can with the knowledge and resources and beliefs and history that you are working with?

What if I took another breath and began mining all of the amazing qualities that I see in you?

What if he is of one political party and reads the newspapers and watches TV and gets all riled up and red-faced and curses at the members of the opposing party and calls them crooks and liars and scoundrels?

What if she is of the other political party and screams back that his people are losers and morons and idiots and can’t he see that they will ruin the world?

What if these two nice people cannot even enjoy a meal together because of someone they have never met nor will ever meet – isn’t that absurd?

What if I smile like Mona Lisa?

What if by doing all of this soul exploration, I finally have a core belief that all is well and whatever I need is on its way to me effortlessly and that amazing things I could not envision are about to happen and my easy job now is just to be happy and appreciate the great things that have happened and that are happening each day?

What if because of this belief I have a secret smile that I cannot remove?

What if I inspired your great grand-child?

What if I am on this planet to gently inspire and guide others through tough times so they can find their way and they can gently inspire and guide others through tough times so they can find their way and then they can gently inspire and guide others and on and on through the generations?

What if I am having a stressful, miserable experience manifesting my desire? What if the end result turned out like the journey – miserable?

What if my creation unfolds easily and joyfully and I am so pleased with the outcome – happy?

What if how the journey to get there goes is how the result will be?

What if our family got together at a restaurant to celebrate my grandson’s 25th birthday with his brother and mother and aunts and uncles and cousin?

What if his dad, Glenn, had passed away 4 years ago and as my grandson and his brother were getting out of the car, their deceased dad’s favorite Bob Marley song came on?

What if we all smiled when the waiter came to our table and said, “Hello, I’m Glenn and I will be with you tonight”?

What if we all felt his loving presence with us at the party? What if everyone pays a little more attention to the signs that are all around us?

What if she was blinding herself?

What if a  woman was speaking with me and she mentioned that for years she has been wearing herself out reading difficult and unpleasant documents day and night because she wanted to make changes in the world that she felt would help humanity?

What if she has now been diagnosed with a very serious eye disease?

What if her dear eyes would like to look at something joyful for awhile and get a break from all of this misery and stress?                   Betty

What if on a recent trip, one of our group was late continually and the rest of the group got annoyed and I chimed in with my negative opinion?

What if a few hours later, in the pouring rain, I got separated from the group and could not find my way back and made them all wait and had to stand on the corner in the rain for 20 minutes until they found me?

What if this was a great lesson for me to give others the benefit of the doubt and know that we are all doing the best we can?

What if she continually corrected her words?

What if I was on a tour and one of my co-travelers continually corrected the pronunciation of the foreign guide leading us and it annoyed me?

What if I found myself wanting to change someone who was wanting to change someone – am I then the same?

What if I blessed them both and realized that they had co-created their experience and my job was to look out the window and enjoy the scenery?

What if the milk comes after the eggs?

What if death is like the forward-moving black rubber belt at the grocery check-out counter?

What if the great-grandparents check out first and then the grandparents and the parents and then the children and next the grandchildren?

What if it is such an overwhelming shock when this order is broken?

What if we all got the same?

What if everyone on the planet made $24.50 an hour for whatever skill or talent or job they offered the world (from the woman selling neem sticks on the streets of Varanesi, India to the President of North Korea), so everyone made the same hourly wage?

What if that made all jobs equal and important and freed people to do what they love?
