It’s my birthday Thursday. And I wanted to share with you something that I learned over the past year of my life, in the hope that it resonates with you.
It’s this:
You’ve got to commit yourself to always looking forward to what’s next.
Over the past year, I’ve had so much more luck with that strategy over any other.
The unpredictable is inevitable. Things get messy.
But we all operate under our own “rules of the universe.” I think of this often when I listen to people tell me how things work.
What they don’t realize is that, no matter how sure they are, they are always saying “this is how things work, according to me.”
This past year of my life I’ve seen a lot of people around me make decisions assuming the worst of what’s around the corner.
Accepting a situation as-is, being so fearful of the new — of change.
Playing along with limitations that don’t work for them. What someone said, once. What worked for them, before now.
Getting a little dark. Listening to someone’s mucked up rules of the universe.
But what if you looked forward to what was next, no matter what?
This isn’t being ungrounded or living in a bubble -
It’s allowing for the possibility that what’s next is better than what you ever could have imagined.
What if with each new year, month, day, week, things actually got better no matter what?
And you meet it as it comes - the good, the bad, because you know that the landscape you’re playing in is always still evolving into something healthier, clearer, brighter.
It’s embracing the new, knowing that there are always ways to make it awesome, because you’re in the mix, and somehow -
Change is on your side.
How do you feel about this?
Love,
Jenna
