If The Dead Could Talk
How many opportunities in life have we all missed? For example: It was a beautiful sunny day; the flowers were in blossom and the birds chirping. Then an old memory, or perhaps a worry, spoils the party. You tell yourself “you have no right to be happy and free.” How often do you tell yourself not to love, to learn, to rejoice?
If the dead could talk they would tell you to appreciate life while you have it. To love, to learn and to rejoice. And “if not now, when”?
You were born to be happy. Celebrate your creation.
Enjoy your life,
Abe
Guess who’s coming for dinner?
Often we encounter the unexpected. We are headed in one way,
and in the next moment we find ourselves headed in another.
One of my teenage son was in a hurry and leaped down some
stairs only to knock himself in the head. Fortunately, after
spending a few hours in the emergency room, the doctor
pronounced that he was OK. But literally, he was “headed” in
one directed, and in a flash heading somewhere else (to the
hospital). All of us—and I mean all of us—get knocked in the
head from time to time. It can’t be avoided. We think we are
headed in one direction . . . suddenly we are headed in
another. We never really know who is coming for dinner!
Now, when this happens, what’s next? Some people resist.
They turn up the heat on themselves creating anxiety and
despair. But there is a better way. GO WITH THE FLOW. Here’s
how.
1. Acknowledge. Acknowledge something significant has
changed (health, finances, family, career, etc.).
2. Change. Recognize your need to respond intelligently to
the challenge. You must adapt.
3. What to do. Consider your options. This may include
consulting others.
4. Plan of action. Pick on option and design an action plan
(how to realistically carry out the selected option).
5. Take action. Implement your “action plan.”
6. Reassess. Occasionally reassess, and if your plan is not
working, modify it (or try another one).
Kind regards,
Abe
