I knew I'd get you with that title, he he. But really, what if it were? Would you say that? Think that? Do that? Be that?
I'm all about the positive and focusing on what you want; however, I do believe in a good dose of awareness on a daily basis - actually, several times a day on a daily basis. My five chickens give me this. Find someone/something that reminds you who you are and why you are here and stay with that person or thing because they are PURE GOLD. Even if they push yo' buttons. ESPECIALLY if they push your buttons.
I don't believe in regret, remorse or mistakes, just learning. Learn learn learn and then learn some more. Have so much fun finding a better way. Try, fall, get up, try again. Stop chasing perfect. But always with the awareness of who you are (your Spirit, not your ego) and why you are here on Earth. Our zen teachers remind us of this all the time. They are sometimes confused with annoying people at the supermarket or in traffic. They are also confused with frustrating people who don't get us. They are also confused with family members who really piss us off. These are our "soul mates" too. They are here to teach us. And we are here to learn. And begin again. Again and again.
So today, ask yourself, if today were my last day on earth, would I be doing/saying/thinking/being this?
