Years ago I developed a "requirement" for life. I suppose this came out of the instances of Joy, Fear, Disappointment, Peace and Troubles that we all encounter. I informed the Cosmic that since life was ever changing the only thing I ask of it is that it be "Interesting." That I would handle the changes, pleasant or unpleasant, but to "Please keep it interesting."
I laugh at this now. If something is "interesting" obviously you are considering the many facets of whatever has/is occurring. Since change is inevitable what was in front of me was always "interesting". The gift from the Cosmic did not change....only my perception of that gift I made the choice to (in addition/or replacement of any associated emotion) to view my life differently than I had.
By adopting this environmental perception; I was then (and am) free to not be overcome as often and can, regardless of circumstance, move through a day treating humanity with the respect, compassion and love it needs and deserves.
Do I want the World to "STOP" so I can get off? At times yes. I'm human. But, it only takes a second for things to get "interesting." And included in "interesting" is my feeble or powerful reaction to what is before me.
Peace Profound
Make someone smile...or better yet laugh!
