Against All Odds Stay Focused
Life is a beautiful collection of chaotic events. Each experience presents us with the opportunity for growth and personal development. Tonight I was presented with a challenge. I mean to be honest we are always being challenged and test to see how down we are for ourselves. Back to the story. This evening as I prepared to drive home I started to experience a bit of lag when accelerating. Immediately feelings of dread came over me as this was not a foreseen issue. I told myself to remain calm as I began to feel the onset of stress express itself within my body. The first thing I did was call my father to inform him of the issue. I was concerned whether or not I’d be able to make it home. Ultimately I decided to slow down, turn on my caution lights and proceed to my destination. My original plan was to visit the gym tonight to complete my arm workout but Blue Magic (my car) wasn’t feeling it. Lucky I have a bit of equipment at home so the night won’t be a total bust.
Back to the story. I managed to make home still unclear of the exact problem but I know in due time it will be resolved. I wanted to write about this incident because my mind began to wonder and again I started to stress a bit. Now I know this is totally out of my control therefore stressing about this situation would be a waste of my time and energy and my new motto is I AIN’T GOT A SECOND TO WASTE. Indeed I won’t waste time pondering about the upcoming expense or anything of the sort. I decided to channel the energy into my website. Something I laid doormat for awhile due to my own self neglect. I am totally removed from that space with clear intent to never agree to such existence again. I have way too much to offer to sit around and be less.
The lesson tonight for my own mindset is to remain in motion. To do what I can with what I have. I know it is in my best intrest to keep my mind clear, to better enable acute problem solving to take place. I know in moments like this we need to think inline of solution based thoughts and not complain about this minor issue. It’s not the end of the world. It did change my plans and I will have to adjust things in the near future but having the ability to adjust is the blessing. Lets be clear. Problems will arise and this is something we can bet on. No ones life is free of issues. It is the manner and attitude we have about the onset problem that makes all the difference. I choose not to be defeated. Instead I see this a a challenge to become better skilled in managing stress and problem solving.
In the meantime I ask you the reader to say a few kind words for Blue Magic. The car has for sure seen better days. As for me I will make plans for the days ahead and deliberately choose to count in all joy in the midst of this challenge. I am thankful for the opportunity to show the universe just who I am. I have been doing a lot of great work lately and I refuse to let this small hurdle plummet me into a place of low level thinking. Again I AIN’T GOT A SECOND TO WASTE!
Now, it’s time to go workout. Peace and Blessings
