The Gift of Letting Yourself Be Proven Wrong.
As I write this, it’s thundering, raining and snowing here in Colorado all at the same time. I realize with a grin that once again my expectations of what’s normal are proven wrong by mother nature.So I’m inspired to ask the question: “Why can’t we drop our expectations and open ourselves up to being surprised by life and the people around us every day and every moment?”
Letting ourselves and the past be proven wrong, while expecting and looking for new possibilities or behaviors that we like, can free us up to receive wonderful gifts; yet we don’t do this. We judge what we’ve always seen to be set in stone.
Life is hard. She’s too emotional. He doesn’t listen.
Do you want emotional freedom or do you want to look for proof that you’re right so life continues to give you what you’ve always gotten?
Our life and the people around us don’t have to be the same as yesterday and the past does not equal the future.
So remember to take a hint from mother nature; what’s always been normal and expected isn’t always what life delivers, and thank goodness for that~ Open yourself up to the possibility that things can be different and quite likely, they will be.
