Starting on a new track is an interesting prospect in everyone's life. We make these decisions all the time. What school to go to? What career to choose? There might be new relationships. There might be new people involved. How do we understand if we have chosen wisely? We have been blessed with instinct and intention. Before walking down any path, we check our intentions. We ask ourselves some basic questions. We have to have pure intentions: to learn, to grow and to be productive. If our intentions are clear, then our instinct becomes stronger and we learn to listen to it.
The next item to check off our list is the tools necessary to achieve our goal. Does the artist have the right colours, brushes & canvas to produce the desired masterpiece? Without proper tools or a proper plan to procure the tools, we might not get the desired result!
We move forward with faith. The faith that we will not be overburdened. Our challenges might seem like a mountain but we will overcome them because we know that we will not be tasked beyond our capacity. Tricky situations maybe intimidating but if we are mindful of the mistakes we make throughout the journey and make some effort to correct them on time, then challenges become easier to cope with.
A little optimism goes a long way! Optimism and gratitude when combined, make a real magic potion. In almost all the real life situations, we might start with the right intentions, tools, faith and mindfulness but things do end up going south and that is exactly the moment, dear friends, when we take a big swig of our magic potion! This gives us the energy to say a constructive goodbye to things that did not go our way. We accept our limitations realistically. We find ourselves grateful and we have plenty of strength to move on.
