What if for my best health I ate breakfast like a King with abundant rich food and lunch like a Prince with moderate food and dinner as a Pauper with small servings of simple food, always remembering to bless my food?

What if because of eating with this awareness, my weight stabilized and my sleep was uninterrupted?

What if I am just watching you?

By Lynne Cory

What if there is a difference between judging you and observing you?  What if when I see how you act, I get angry and frustrated and want to yell at you for being so stupid?  This is judging.  What if you are doing something outrageous and I merely observe you as I would an exotic white tailed zebra?  This is not judging.

What if it is OK to show my emotions – either sad or mad or glad – because I am a human being with many changing emotions?

What if by honestly sharing with the world how I am feeling, another person could see that it is OK to show the world how they are feeling, perhaps excited or fearful or hopeful or depressed or accomplished or angry or content and each one is perfect?

What if I got better than what I thought?

What if one of my houshold bills was increasing each month and I decided to go into the business and ask if there was some way that it could be decreased and I set the intention that I would be appreciative, no matter how much they could reduce it?

What if the lady behind the counter gave me a big smile when she told me what she had done to reduce my bill a great deal for the next six months?

What if my appreciation of what was to come made what was to come even better?

What if I read the Bible?

What if the Bible was a book about how life was lived 2000+ years ago?

What if it has been translated over the years by many different people all removing some things they did not feel appropriate and others adding their own beliefs to the stories?

What if many people still find great comfort reading the Bible?

What if living 2000 years ago is very different than living today?

What if there are many similarities?

What if in every situation where my buttons were being pushed and my negative emotions were flaring, I sat quietly and followed this feeling back to my childhood to find where it had originated and once I had located the source, I could heal myself?

What if I found abandonment or loss or rejection from an early age and realized that I had been carrying this for decades and once I realized from where this originated, it healed?                          Connie

What if you have a lot of money and possessions and you feel that others are always out to cheat you and take your stuff and they do?

What if you suspect people and they never let you down?

What if I have a lot of money and possessions and know that people are kind and good and fun and honest and that is what I encounter?

What if we are creating what is happening to us by what we are focusing on?

What if I picked up my trash?

What if today we were just a little more considerate of each other? What if I calmed my barking dogs or brought in my noisy birds before dusk or played my drums in the middle of the day or kept my children from running through your flowers or stopped someone about to spray paint another person’s fence or picked up the garbage and weeds in my yard or area so you did not have to look at an eyesore?

What if I treated you like I would like to be treated, with respect and kindness?

What if I closed my mouth?

What if I listened to you with a closed mouth?

What if instead of running my brain at high speed to create the next response while you are talking and hoping you will take a breath so I can jam my ideas into the conversation, I just listened?

What if you felt really heard?

What if I only have hot dogs for dinner?

What if I am a simple person with a happy family life who is working for a wealthy family with a miserable family experience because they are all trying to get to or stay on top?

What if I am the wealthier one as the soul sees it?

What if I am a wealthy person doing good works each day and now I am double-wealthy?

What if true wealth is how we treat each other as well as ourselves?

What if I go to sleep sad?

What if the way I feel when I am going to sleep will be the way I feel when I awaken (cranky=cranky, worried=worried, calm=calm, appreciative=appreciative)?

What if before I fell asleep, I counted my blessings of the day and put a nice smile on my face as I drifted away and found that when I awoke, I was looking forward to a new, exciting and wonderful day?

What if I was going 75 miles per hour?

What if I got 1 or 2 or 3 speeding tickets in a row?

What if this was a message from my source suggesting that I am going too fast in some part of my life and if I do not slow down it will cost me more?

What if still do not slow down and a stronger message comes through like illness or an accident?

What if I listened after the first ticket and saved myself money and time and pain?

What if you are driving me crazy?

By Lynne Cory

What if the one who drives you crazy is actually a great teacher?

What if you live or work or play with someone who has totally different political or religious views or financial ways or health practices and the other person knows that their way is the correct way and the only way to live?

What if they are teaching me compassion or might they need acknowledgment?

What if I am stiff in my beliefs also? Do I need more flexibility in my thinking?
