The personality worries, the soul is fine...

My personality's favorite time is around 4am. That's when I sometimes wake and lie there worrying. 'I've got to learn how to use my new laptop'...'How do I deal with a client who struggles to be regressed?'...'What's for dinner tonight?'...'Did I feed the chook?'

It all seems too hard in the dark, yet when I get up in the morning, the sun is shining and things seem quite manageable.

My soul is not at all phased by daily challenges. It can see the bigger picture of my life, and the even bigger picture of the entire universe. What does a new laptop, a tricky client, a boring meal or a grumpy chook matter in the bigger scheme of things? I'm fine; you're fine!

Every experience teaches you something

This morning I competed in a competition at my Toastmasters club. Afterwards a spiritually aware club member and I discussed how we entered the competition because it was just another experience, another opportunity to learn lessons in this game of life.

What did I learn this morning? I thought my performance was mediocre, yet I came third in the competition. My friend said it was because I was being me - authentic. I learned that being genuine is all life requires. My soul knows; my personality is learning it too.

(PS I will be on retreat Monday 14th - Wednesday 16th, back writing blogs on Thursday 17th)
