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?

What if she would not move over?

By Lynne Cory

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock PhotosWhat if I go to an exercise class with a friend and she gets very frustrated because she chooses a spot to stand and then people come in after her and try to invade her space?

What if she is telling me that “they are so territorial” and it drives her crazy?

What if they are a mirror for her showing that she is quite territorial, too?

What if he loves things spinning around?

What if some people would rather have drama and misery and chaos in their life than calm peacefulness?

What if they are more comfortable hearing about others’ trials and tribulations than their happy times and would rather describe all of the things going on in their own life that are of sadness rather than joy?

What if this way of thinking was familiar and a habit for them and they are perfect just as they are?

What if I notice how beautiful you are?

What if we could be truly happy for another when they get a promotion or a new car or a magnificent home or look fantastic in their new clothing or have a happy, loving relationship?

What if we knew that they must be thinking happy thoughts to achieve all of their desires and that we have an equal opportunity to be happy and achieve ours also?

What if I was a great movie star?

By Lynne Cory

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos

What if my life was actually a movie with me as the director as well as the star and everyone else was a supporting player that I have chosen to be with me to learn and grow?

What if some I have chosen to be loving and some to be mean and some to be generous and others to steal from me?

What if when I died, I got to choose an entirely new cast for my next life play?

What if next time, the serial killer chose to be a kindly medicine man?

What if there is no more to judge than if this was the movie that it is?

 

What if Mother Earth is just fine?

By Lynne Cory

What if there is no need to be concerned about Mother Earth warming herself for awhile?

What if our planet is balancing itself and we are going along for the ride?

What if over the vast millions of years, Mother Earth has warmed and cooled herself numerous times but we have only been able to measure a small number of years and so we get sad and fearful?

What if we cannot see the BIG picture but only this brief moment in time?

What if I cannot go to Mongolia?

By Lynne Cory

What if all of my failures are just about fear? What if I fear that I cannot go to Tibet because I may not be able to breathe at the high altitude or buy a new home because the prices may go down again or purchase a new car because I might get laid off or ask for something I want because they might say NO or cannot do this or that because what would they think of me and hold myself back by always second-guessing myself from a base of fear?

What if I just let it flow easily and if it came into my mind – went for it?

What if we argue on the phone?

By Lynne Cory

What if we have a shouting match over the phone?

What if the next many messages are garbled or not quite right?

What if we need to clear the phone if we want it to work correctly?

What if he made me appreciate more?

What if a man came into my little shop and within a few moments was telling me that he did not want to live anymore? What if he mentioned that his wife, the love of his life, had died 7 months earlier and his one son had been murdered seven years ago and his other son had died of a brain illness two years ago and he had loved them all and was just existing until he passed?

What if there was nothing I could say that would make him feel better but I could lend a compassionate ear as he spoke? And what if as he spoke about how much he loved his family, I was able to see again how blessed I am to have all of my family with me here on the planet? What if he was an angel showing me how fortunate I am? What if he decided to stay? What if he decided to join them?

What if I saw a fuzzy sheep?

What if I closed my eyes and sat in meditation for awhile and asked for an animal to begin walking towards me and then just observed as my power animal appeared?

What if my power animal has many of the characteristics of me and I can call upon it in my meditation for guidance? My animal was a sheep (shy, quiet, easy-going, friendly).

What if it is just a habit?

By Lynne Cory

What if all of this drama and trauma and turmoil and stress in our life is just a habit that has been repeated over and over for years until it has become our dominant way of living?

What if I have been focusing on the past and what went wrong with my parents and my siblings and my jobs and my husbands and my health and my neighbors and the government and my finances and how awful it was and now, subconsciously I can hardly wait until something goes wrong again so I will have something to share and commiserate about with my family and friends? And, because I am focused on things going wrong, what if I am never disappointed?

What if I gently shift from drama to peace by thinking and telling fun stories instead of tragic ones? What if I focused more on what is right in my life than on what is wrong? What if I gave everyone the gift of a happy ME?

What if you can fight with each other?

What if it is none of my business how others relate with each other?

What if it is only my business how others relate with me?

What if it is more difficult to stay out of others’ business than it is to get in there and gossip or “fix it”?

What if watching the drama of others unfold is actually a lesson for me?

What if the train never arrives?

By Lynne Cory

What if I want something desperately and I wait and hope and do manifestation processes and still NOTHING?  What if the Universe knows that the timing is not right and that something even better is in my future if I can just wait a little longer?  What if that train I was hoping to board crashed just down the line?  What if I ended up taking a cab and arrived unscathed?

What if that is not the way it is?

By Lynne Cory

What if everything I have been told about religion, finance and politics has been untrue? What if it is a much more tangled web than we know?  What if I knew of the greed, cruelty and unfairness that is used in creating those myths and I became angry and spiteful? What if I only need to focus on my life and how I live it?  What if peace is what I strive for?
