Is there a problem? (Not really.)

What’s up with problems?

Ya know what I mean? This is a problem, that’s a problem.

What if there’s another way to look at them life “problems”?

A way that keeps us out of angst and misery.

No Problem

Let yourself not forget that when you live in your mind, sooner or later your mind is going to connect you with all of your “problems.” You may not like those problems, but your mind will make them feel like home. Familiar. Oddly comforting. “Oh yea, this is me.”

But what if your life were not filled with problems?

What if in this very moment, there are no problems?

Hang on. I’m talking about this moment, THIS MOMENT.

Right now, right NOW.

While you’re reading this.

Absolutely, there are things you need to deal with, things you need to handle. But as long as you stray from dramatizing all those things, they’re just things to do. Step by step.

“Mommy, why is that bad man trying to take away my problems?”

For me, remembering this snaps me back into the moment and opens the doors of creativity.

Let’s stay out of our minds and create from our gut.

 

All da best
