'Thought For The Week
I'm going to try to do a thought for the week. I will write a quote then comment, if I so decide! Often times the quote will be from Abraham. Sometimes not. I will acknowledge whoever it is I am quoting.
Today's: "Life is supposed to be fun........You cannot struggle into joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come." Abraham (as channeled by Esther Hicks)
I really was not taught that "Life is supposed to be fun." Sadly, I didn't teach that to my children, either. Laughing my way into success seems almost sacrilegious!
However, it sure might be more fun to laugh my way to success than to angst, fret, stew, loose sleep, and be annoying. Love and fear: the only 2 true feelings. Well, there you go! If I am not loving my life then I must be afraid of something. Well, rrriiiightttt. Fear it is. Fear that I got it all wrong, that I am not doing "it" right. Fear that there isn't enough to go around, that I won't be loved, that life "is but a dream."
Remember that song from childhood: "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."
Even as a kid I wondered about that. What if this is all a dream? What happens when I wake up? Ultimately I think that is our greatest fear: what will happen when we wake up? Thus, we must take life seriously. Seriously work, relate, plan, love, play. Seriously set out to be as successful as possible. If we loose our grip and become too cocky or self assured, or have too much fun, we might miss something important. Then we could fall over the edge, slip out of the dream, and wake up in the real world where-----where what? That's just it, isn't it? Where what?
As long as we really don't know "what" then maybe we might as well have a good time in this dream and take our chances. I remember as a kid hearing the expression, "Laughing all the way to the bank." I think our phase today is, "Laughing all the way to success." Whatever success may mean to each of us.
Take care. I love hearing from you. Warmly, Nancy Ross
