Get Some Perspective!

When things happen in life that we don’t like, the `not like’ part of it is usually because we’re not seeing it from the intended perspective. If we attract everything we need to us, and if the Universe is perfect, and if it is filled with nothing but abundance, then only good stuff EVER turns up in our lives.

A good friend of mine, Dr Judy Moss, gave me a great example of a possible reason ‘bad things’ happen to us.

If our child wanted something, and we as the adult knew of something that would give it GREATER joy, wouldn’t we rather our child have the greater joy? Wouldn’t we even stop the child having the first thing momentarily so s/he could have the greater joy a little later?

For example: your child sees an ice cream stand and wants an ice cream, yet you know they sell her/his favourite down the road. You tell that to the child but they don’t listen; all they see is the ice cream stand in front of them, and start to complain. You feel bad that your child is in distress, yet you keep walking knowing the child is about to experience greater joy. Then you get to the second ice cream stand, and are rewarded by the glee on your child’s face. S/he has forgotten all about the first ice cream stand.

And that’s just one idea. It could also be about an opportunity you hadn’t thought of, could lead you to people you need to meet, or might give you the skills that you’ve been asking for. Whatever the reason, know that it’s ALL GOOD! So next time you feel challenged by events that you’ve attracted into your life, have another think. Try turning it around and looking at it from many different perspectives. You’ll usually find that there’s a light in there somewhere, and that it was a gift to you after all.
