Watch out for the weight of ‘’it is my fault’ ‘’I caused it’’ beware of carrying unnecessary weight in form of guilt. Forgive yourself. Truly you are all you have got. Somebody sent me a random WhatsApp message some time ago that has not left me. It talked about the way the plane works. Did you know during flight, the plane goes off course more than half of the time? Each time it goes off course, there is an inbuilt system in it called the Inertial guidance system which serves as a control panel working to correct the error at each time.
A lot of time we sit on the plane sleeping away not realizing this. Regardless of these errors the plane will always reach its destination.
Look at life with this mindset, ‘’I might have made mistakes in the past but like the plane, I am going to fix my error and continue the journey. My mind is my control panel. I will feed it with the positive information it needs to redirect me right’’. Always remember, like the plane, regardless of how many errors you have made and how many times you have failed, it can be corrected, and you can still reach your destination.
I believe negative emotions like stress and anxiety starts to make people sick when the negative thoughts outweigh the positive thoughts of vitality and happiness. Like cold water and hot water, the negative thought consumes the positive thought that maintains a person’s wellbeing. This weakens the body’s immune system thus releasing bad hormones which causes sickness.
Beware of the weights that comes inform of ‘’What if….’’ What if this guy I am dating decides to leave me, I am getting older will I find someone else?’’ ‘’What if I do not get a job?’’ ‘’What if the car breaks down considering I have no money now to fix it?’’
My mum thought me this song by Doris Day as a child:
When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, “What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?”
Here’s what she said to me
“Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be”
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, “What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?”
Here is what my sweetheart said
“Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Whatever will happen will happen. Worrying without a constructive plan to change it is futile. A lot of times our little worries builds into fear. Fear of what will happen to your child, fear of your partner breaking up with you, fear of debt etc. whatever the feeling, it is a weight that you need to let down. Worrying has never and will never change anything. Make a decision today to be positive in your outlook and maintain a constructive approach in dealing with any challenge confronting you.
