Easy Change Strategies (13)

Change just happened. Now what do I do? Embrace it! Remember:

Don't think about the past - it's history!

Don't worry about the future - it's a mystery!

Concentrate your attention on the here and NOW 

because it is a gift that's why we call it the present!
I just started to read a fascinating book: RAPT by Winnifred Gallagher.
Subtitle: Attention and the Focused Life 
For all those ADD and ADHD and those self proclaimed "Renaissance Men" (i.e. me!)
So far I learned (re-learned?) that your life is progressing along the thoughts you have.
The more thoughts you spend on a subject the more it becomes your life's subject.
So if you don't like what is happening to you....spend time thinking of something more pleasing to you and that way you can change your life. Really? 
Well there is the proof in "synchronicity" - Life Coaches will tell you to "fake it 'till you make it".
And then there are those who say: "If you want to be a "smith" than you have to spend time with "smiths" and horses of course! Oh and just watching them doesn't really count! You got to learn to do the "smithing". Take a course. Read a book (didn't I mention that before?). Talk to the people in the "smith" business. In other words you need to submerge yourself into the new field and soon you will be part of it. 
They (whoever they are) say: We will have more than 3 possibly 7 different occupations during our lifetime. Well, I had a few - savings banker; local commercial banker; international banker;
investment banker; unemployed banker (twice); hospital administrator; local government administrator; consultant; internet business owner; relocation manager; storyteller(that one I liked best - that's why I still spend time with other storytellers!).
It isn't important what you were - it is important what you do and how!
So follow Nike's motto "Just Do It" - see where it gets you.
And remember if you fall flat on your face, I'll be watching you.....how long does it take you to get back up again? (see previous posting!)
