We all (except for the perfect ones!) have a tendency to "put off" those things which we may not enjoy doing, in favor of doing the things we love to do. Basically, there is nothing wrong with that, except that the unfun things or marginally distasteful things never seem to get done. "I will cross that bridge when I come to it"! This is a phrase that I haven't actually uttered, but have thought consciously or subconsciouly many times. I am leaving for SW Africa in about 2 weeks and I just noticed that my "TO DO" list has grown to gigantic proportions. Perhaps some magic angel will wave a wand and all items will be done, but I will not hold my breath waiting for that to happen.I believe that is our tendency in many areas of life. Each morning I get a message from the "universe" in my email box. Today the message is: "You're waiting for that magical day when someone makes the connection and recognizes you for who you really are. Maybe they'll first catch the sparkle in your eye. Or perhaps they will marvel at your insights and the depth of your spirit. Someone who will help you connect the dots, believe in yourself and make sense of it all. Someone who will understand you, approve of you and unhesitatingly give you a leg up, so that life can pluck your ready, ripened self from the branch of magnificence.
Well I am here to tell you, your wait is over. That someone is here and it is YOU !!!"
Let's face it dear reader or readers (hopefully) if we don't rock our world, who can???
Like the image above, I have come to the bridge and it is time for me to cross it.
ROCK ON! AND LIVE WELL!
Cheers for now,
Dennis
We say,"I will cross the bridge when I come to it" in order to tell others that we will not worry about a possible problem but will deal with it if it happens. Confident or positive attitude is very important here. Preparing oneself for it, however, is a wise move. The outcome is not definite, of course- but we make decision that we feel happy for it. For example, when I decided to immigrate to Canada, I was fully aware that I would face certain difficulties such as different languages, different culture, etc. Friends asked about challenges I might face, what I plan on doing, how I expect my life to unfold for the next year, next year, next year...
ReplyDeleteI have a general idea that is I will live happily in Vancouver, but there's no way to know exactly how things will go or how I will react. All I can do is make the best of it when I get there. I am so glad to meet you, my sweetheart, and I am so glad to have you in my life! Thank you for everything!
