What if I got what I thought?

By Lynne Cory

What if I was invited to a dinner and knew that a negative, needy person was also attending and found myself saying “I hope they don’t sit next to me” and slapped myself on the head because I knew I was creating this exact experience?  What if I shifted my thinking to “I hope I sit between two fun people” knowing that either the needy one would sit somewhere else or she would be fun if she sat next to me?

What if one day they all said “we are outta here”?

What if there are no shortages of certain types of fish in the ocean?  What if they just got tired of being trapped and killed in nets where lots of other ocean life were destroyed as well?  What if one morning they decided to move their schools to another area in our vast oceans where they are living happily?

What if I looked the other way?

By Lynne Cory

What if I stayed out of other people’s repetitive dramas as it is their lesson to learn?  Do they always have someone causing them frustration?  Cannot others ever do it right?  Does everyone always let them down?  What if I made no comment and listened briefly and went on with my day?  What if they found someone else who wanted to listen?

What if the money must flow like the ocean waves?

By Lynne Cory

What if I gave up my worries that “I won’t have enough” and allow the door to open to all I need?  What if I do not need to hoard my money for that rainy day?  What if I have always had enough food to eat and a place to live and I always will?  What if once I know this in my heart, I can enjoy life even more?

What if my animals are not just animals?

By Lynne Cory

What if you can tell about a person by how her pet behaves? What if he is nervous and twitchy and his cat can never settle down?   What if her animal’s illness has a message for her?  What if the little dog’s eye problems are telling its owner that there is something important for her to see?  Is she being to hard on herself?  Does she need to shut the big book of guilt?

What if I can look out of either side of the bus?

By Lynne Cory

What if it is always my choice to see the dark side or the bright side of the situation?  What if I can be a victim or a champion in every encounter with another?  What if I give to others what I want to receive, misery or joy, whining or encouragement, frustration or compassion?  What if my choice can become contagious?

What if everyone has one?

By Lynne Cory

What if we are all born with at least one addiction (approval, acknowledgment, rejection, abandonment, etc.) which often later turns into drugs, alcohol, food, smoking, spending, gambling or sex?

What if the addictions are where our lessons are created?  What if she needs approval and becomes a shopaholic to look her best for others she does not even know, he becomes a reckless gambler because he gets special treatment and acknowledgment when he enters the casino, she helps everyone in her circle to her own exhaustion so she will feel loved?  What if we all have something to learn about ourselves?

What if it was not suppose to go on forever?

By Lynne Cory

What if before we came into this lifetime, we preplanned our experiences?  What if her husband left her after 27 years?  What if he only owed her three children from a previous life and had preplanned to be married 10 years?  What if he had paid his debt?  What if she was angry and he felt guilty for leaving?  What if it is all perfect but they cannot remember the blueprint?

What if it really was scary?

By Lynne Cory

What if there is an oldbelief that the devil or monsters comes out at night when many of us are sleeping?  What if 100s of years ago candles were very expensive and so on starless nights all that really happened is that people fell and were badly hurt or never found and others were attacked and robbed by humans and all these creepy things were attributed to an evil one?  What if they believed that light scared away the devil?  What if this fear became contagious?

What if she is oblivious?

By Lynne Cory

What if others are tolerating a struggling soul?  What if she joins in a conversation in progress and talks over the others?  What if she is describing some clothing that she hates while I am wearing it?  What if she is pushy and demanding with sales people and waiters?  What if she silently wonders why others shy away from her?  What if I love her soul but remain away from her personality?  What if she is a teacher for me?   What if she is showing me how not to be?
