Being Great When Everything Around You is Falling Apart
I (Val) woke up in the middle of the night and thought, “what if…” then a whole series of worries started to pop into my mind. What if we lose our money, our house? What if I get sick? What if Jeff gets sick? What if other people I love get sick? What if we don’t get any business? What if….” So I got a book and read. It seemed the only way I could turn my mind off the worrying. Finally, I fell asleep again.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt great. The sun was shining. I was still here. Jeff was still here. Everyone was well. Everything was working. Business was still going well. And I realized that most of our worries are in our heads. It’s so easy to worry. In fact….worrying is really just a way of stopping being positive.
Being positive about things takes a certain way of thinking. It means being thankful for what we have. Being grateful for what we have. Accepting things the way they are and being amazing whatever is going on. So just for today, be great. Think about the good you are dong in the world. Think about the positive energy you send out, and keep your focus on that. When you worry, you just open the door for more things to worry about–don’t do it. Read an uplifting book, watch a good TV program, talk to an uplifting friend, go for a walk, clean your home, make a good, wholesome meal…do anything but do not worry. This is one life we have….lets make it a great one! Rock N Roll Val & Jeff
