It's
funny, barbara, when one links job satisfaction to financial
compensation alone, they're never paid "enough." Yet, when they see
"work" as a way to dance with life, meet new people, and unleash the
creative tiger within, they become very rich, indeed.
Every kind of rich, barbara.
Hey,
barbara, what if, instead of waiting for everything to be perfect, we
start living your dreams this week, to any degree we can?
You're beautiful enough, barbara.
You're special enough.
You're sexy, playful, and fun enough.
You've worked enough.
You've cried enough.
You've been grateful, generous, and kind enough.
Okay, then?
The Universe
Just
put yourself ahead in time, barbara, pretend that it's next month
already, and imagine that the past 4 weeks just totally rocked. Every
hope you now possess for the coming weeks has manifested. Every
challenge was breezed through. Every cool person stayed cool. Every
trickster became an ally. There were happy surprises along the way, and
you got plenty of sleep.
This is how we roll.
I
so love mornings. All of earth's energies are zipping, zapping and
crackling in alignment. The stars have been tucked in bed. The
nightingales begin dreaming their dreams. And the sugar plum fairies try
hard not to be seen.
But best of all, barbara, I love mornings because it's when the "Giants"
return to earth - stretching, yawning, squinting and rolling -
remembering without quite remembering, sometimes for just the flickering
of a second, that all is right in the world and that their greatness
has never needed to be proven.
Tell
me, when you think of taking consistent action in the general direction
of your dreams, barbara, do you imagine discipline, stamina, work,
sacrifice, monotony, courage, and strategies, or are you thinking
adventure, discovery, new friends, excitement at the crack of dawn,
magic, surprises, fun, laughter, and, on occasion, the Macarena?
A
little known secret concerning life in the jungles of time and space,
barbara, is that however far you reach, you will go farther. However
great your dreams, they will be grander. And however much you love, you
will be loved much more.
We call it the Law of Increasing Returns.
