"A mistake is
simply another way of doing things." ~ Katherine Graham
Children are often told that they are good or bad when what
is meant is that their behavior is seen as pleasing or not pleasing. When the idea of being good and bad is planted
deep into consciousness at an early age, it leads to a belief that we have two
parts, one good and one bad. such a belief
divides us against ourselves. f we
believe that we are half bad, we cannot really believe that we are one with Divine.
This causes major conflicts, the symptoms of which are guilt, shame and a
feeling of being unlovable.
The now-famous Dr. Albert Ellis, a pioneer in the field of
cognitive therapy, eloquently stated, "We are always doing the best we
can, given that we know what we believe."
Believing this invites us to easily understand why we behave the way we
do and why change is often difficult.
Many years ago, this insight led me to the realization that I am neither
good nor bad; I just am. we are all
beings acting in accord with what we know and believe. The good news is that we can and will change
what we know and believe, and we will always act accordingly. "Change your
thinking, change your life" is much more than bumper-sticker wisdom. by Bob
Luckin
As you read today's story to inspire what thoughts came up
for you? How can you internalize this
concept to allow yourself to move forward in your business? In your life? What if there was no "good" or "bad",
"right" or "wrong". From my perspective we make choices. A choice is a choice, not a label. Why do we feel we need to label ourselves or others?
Labeling sets our world to make us feel ok about ourselves. When in fact we are ok exactly as who we are, (without the labels) and where
we are in any given moment.
I can understand how this may be a stretch for you, yet I invite you for one day, to
remove "good" and "bad", "right" and
"wrong" from your vocabulary . .and just allow what shows up to be.
For example, when working on your business or an area of
your personal life something does not go the way you planned, step back and
say, "wow, that is not what I expected", then let it go, move
forward. There still may be the urge to
label it as "good" or "bad", "right" or
"wrong' yet just notice what you learned and the feeling you were left
with. this is allowing . . allowing you
to be with where you are in that moment.
Notice and let go of the "label" and just be.
This is just another way of doing things in business and in life. Because YOU are the CEO and CFO of your business and
of your life.
