A Beautiful Mind

The power of our minds, is quite outrageous. We can make ourselves believe anything we want to, or anything we need to believe for whatever reason. As I was driving home from work today, I was thinking about this. Lately, I've been feeling un-fullfilled and quite frustrated with my nannying job. I feel tired of taking care of someone else's kids, and I feel like the ideo-syncrocies of the family I work for are driving me crazy. The parents have this need for perfection that is beyond my comprehension. I have found myself getting very irritated and judgmental about everything. It doesn't feel good! Though, it's amazing how easy it is to judge someone without looking at yourself. Why do I care that they are so obsessed with perfection? I think I care, because the perfection is in turn expected of me, and perfection, in my opinion is a dumb word that means nothing. However, on my way home today, I thought, "I can choose how to look at this job, what to focus on, and how to think about it. It can be positive, or I can let it piss me off all the time and feel yucky." But the ironic thing is, that anyone can choose to do this about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! It's amazing!

Our minds are the most powerful thing I can think of! So many people hate their jobs, feel stuck in certain relationships, or obligated to do certain things...because they are so caught up in the way they have always looked at things, instead of taking a moment or two each day to re-evaluate how to look at something. Please, don't think I am a pro at this! It's a lot easier typed than done! But it's a bit of a relief to have this thought, take a moment, and really apply it to something that feels yucky in your life. And if you really believe that the power of positive thinking honestly truly wouldn't change anything, then it's good to know, because then a change can be made.

It's so important to remember that everything will work out the way it should! It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and expectations of every day life, without stopping to think, "well ok, i'll get to where I need to go, when I get there." Or, "ok, this isnt how I thought it would go, but thats ok...in the end it will be ok." There have been few to no times that things haven't worked out for me, whether it's near the end of the situation or not. It's so easy to forget this, but I am going to work harder and harder to remember this fact.

Feeling grateful for all the beautiful minds in my life today.

Light and Love,
