Pardon my delay in posting this to the blog. I sent the newsletter out a few days ago and never completed the blog post. I must have been too busy stopping to smell the flowers during my morning jog with the dog? 🙂 KC
Coach’s Corner with Dr Rick Schaefer
Your Daily Focus: What if Bliss is the Worst that Could Happen?
Fear. It seems to be the popular theme right now. Fear about the economy, fear of losing one’s job, fear of the unknown, fear about just about everything. It seems to be escalating to the extreme of paralyzing people to the point of avoiding opportunities and new choices.
But really, what is the worst that can happen?
You could make a mistake. A mistake? Really!?! What if there are no mistakes? How about the idea that every choice is just a logical step on the magical journey of life. Some choices you make feel good and some bad… initially. Some feel stupid, and some feel brilliant… initially.
You could lose face or damage your reputation. Really!?! C’mon, the people who respect you will not be deterred by one choice you make. They will still respect that you followed your gut and took a chance. The people who currently don’t respect you will not be converted either, no matter how many brilliant choices you make.
You could get sick. Really!?! What a great opportunity to feel a renewed drive for health. What better way to be reminded to focus on your health and to build up more and more desire for health that will convert to action… nutrition, exercise, rest, and healthier thoughts.
You could die. Really!?! That does seem to be the worst that could happen with any choice ever, right? Well, the vast majority of the people on Earth believe that with death comes an emergence into pure eternal bliss, or heaven, or reuniting with God.
The worst that could happen?… pure bliss! So, why fear it? Why fear anything? All of us will inevitably die, so in the meanwhile why not live? Live a little, experiment, experience, try some new stuff, make it happen.
Say, “Yes!” a few more times… and live! Really!!!
Enjoy,
Rick
