During the week leading up to my wedding the word I over used with nauseating enthusiasm was "perfect." I'd said it so many dam times that my sisters, all three, began to tease me. Hadn't I wanted all this fuss, stress & attention?
If I remember correctly I'd actually asked for it. I wanted to be married for surely in marriage I would be on the map. Before I even knew who Dora was I had the same hunch that if I was lost I would only need to find the map and get on the path. Knowing what my life purpose was could wait as long as I was married.
So how's that working out for me? Boys & girls marriage is a bit tougher than holding a registry gun to plate tricking yourself into believing you'd be thrilled to have it. Being married does not mean that your transfer ownership of your deed to happiness. No that is yours for life.
The secret is that it is our thoughts that trip us up not our situation.
So my advice: ditch your expectations - everywhere you find them. No your partner should not know your thoughts, because the truth is they don't & really they can't know them. Chances are you don't always know what you want - tell me where I'm wrong. And your kids well they want your attention. No matter how old we get we still want our parents attention even for a few minutes or a cup of coffee. And life is full of bills, social commitments but you choose what they mean to you and how they effect you.
Perfect is the power of thought. If you are unhappy, stuck or grumpy find the thought.
How do you want to feel?
What would you need to think in order to create this feeling?
Radical I know, but you might just find yourself a bit closer to a messy situation called life with an added zest of joy!
