Are you an uber-thinker? Do you think and plan too much? Do you
worry that your plans won’t work out?
My favorite movie is “Shakespeare In Love” and my favorite quote
from that movie is this:
Philip
Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me
to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of
insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.
As John Lennon said: “Life
is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”. If we know
what’s going to happen every moment, which doesn’t seem to be the case, then
where’s the fun and adventure? Going with the flow seems to be the big plan. We
can ponder the wonders of nature, but we can’t control it. We can try to
influence others, but we can’t alter their free will. We can reach for the sky
but we must let go to go up!
And how do we go forward each day? Again, by John Lennon…“close
your eyes, have no fear”. When you open
your eyes embrace the new day and opportunities. Let yesterday go. When you
open the door, fly to the sky and soar into the new day. Find joy in what you
see and the moments as they present themselves to you. Whatever bothered you
yesterday shouldn’t be brought forward to today. Doom and gloom has no place in
tomorrow; but if you bring it, it will follow.
So tonight, when you say your prayers, aspire for a better day…then
go for it in the morning!
Cathy
