Blog #688: Three Questions I Wonder Daily
My mind is floating with tidbits today.
If I’m lucky…
One will add value to what you’re living.

#1. Living with Drama…
Life turns dramatic in my head when my days become stories of whether I won or lost. I give myself more freedom to love life passionately when I celebrate living the adventure of the wins…or losses.
When we lean into loving the adventure, we grow to love our lives more.
So today…
1. “What am I going to experience?”
2. “What am I going to learn?”
3. “Who am I going to meet?”
That’s what I’m wondering.

#2. Living Shy…
No one…
Likes to be publicly embarrassed.
Likes to be personally humiliated.
Likes to fail…in the eyes of others or themselves.
So we live holding back.
Holding back is safe.
But in holding back…
We miss out on a lot.
The adventures.
The opportunities.
The conversations.
The moments.
Honestly…
Who cares if you’re the heaviest person walking into the gym?
Who cares if you’re the oldest person in the class?
Who cares if you gave it your best…but still fell short?
It really matters little to most…except ourselves. Everybody else isn’t watching us as closely as we think. They’re too hung-up on being afraid to look silly themselves.
Don’t live shy.
We diminish life’s possibilities when we do.

#3. Living in the Past…
For me…
The business I closed… is closed.
The election I lost… is lost.
The opportunity I missed…is missed.
The person who is gone…is gone.
Why dwell on yesterday’s miserables?
It sits far happier in my soul to think about tomorrow’s possibilities.
S.
EXTRA Thoughts…
For me…
Thinking about tomorrow inspires me more than thinking about yesterday.
