It can start out as a simple conversation. You have just come back from a dental appointment with your mouth all swollen and full of stitches. You are sharing your experience with your friend when all of a sudden the energy shifts and she launches into her dental story and you find yourself in the middle of a tug of war trying to decide whose dental experience is worse, yours or your friends. What is it about certain people that want their pain to be greater than others? And what is it about pain that draws us in?
There are times in our life when we feel as if we are going to crack, when the strain or conditions that we have been enduring seem far too heavy and unmanageable. It is as though life is pouring a continuous bucket of problems over our head. We may feel zapped into a lethargic state or one that is manic, nervous or fearful. Or we may feel overwhelmingly angry and victimized. These experiences can drain our energy and undermine our quest. When this is happening in our life, it is usually a sign that the universe is working on us, telling us that these circumstances can actually be pivotal opportunities on our journey.
It's not you, it's me. Now that's a brave sentence that very few people have the courage to say. To admit out loud that it is our fault, that we are responsible. We made the mistake and we are wrong. Wow!
Not many people have the guts to own this point of view. We don't like being wrong. We work really hard to be right. But does this intention serve us or does it actually block our excellence?
As we move through our lives it is interesting to note that there isn't an activity or sport that we can do well if we are not living in the present moment. Imagine playing tennis or basketball and thinking about something else. Bam, we would get clocked in the head.
