The Great Secret of Life

January 23rd, 2012 1 comment

One of the great paradoxes of life is that the young are always wishing they were just a little older and the old are usually wishing they were a whole lot younger.

The great secret of life is to be happy where you are in the process doing the best you can with what you have.  It is common to think that the grass is always greener on the other side.  Your job is to face whatever challenges that may be in front of you right now (today) and do whatever you can to make them right.  If you are facing a challenge today what makes you think that it will be easier to overcome or deal with tomorrow?  Don’t fret about the past or be to consumed with the future, but live now.  I recently read a story about a minister who was having a difficult time going to sleep because he was so worried about the future and the condition of the world.  God said to him, “Go to sleep bishop.  I will stay up and watch over things.”  If you do your best today trust that things will work out.  Everything is going to be okay when all the dust settles.  Face the truth, be responsible, smile and keep moving forward.

Consider the following:  “Rock of Ages,” one of the most popular Christian hymns, was composed under unusual circumstance.   In 1775, Augustus Toplady took shelter from a storm in a cleft of a large rock at Barrington Coombe in Somerset, England, and while waiting for the rain to stop, wrote this famous song on the only piece of paper he could find – a playing card. Just doing the best you can where you are at with what you’ve got may make more of a difference in the world than you think.

Have Confidence in Yourself

“A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.”  -Francis Bacon
 
It is amazing how powerful a proper question can be.  If you find yourself in a situation where you are tempted, you can change the course of your life by asking and answering for yourself the following 10 questions. By asking yourself these questions you engage the part of the brain that is rational and logical. It is this part that has the ability to put the brakes on before acting on triggers. If you feel yourself heading down the path to addictive behaviors, stop and ask yourself these. When you are tempted you probably will not want to ask yourself these question but the commitment to do so can change the course of your life. Think about it.

The Ten Commandment Questions of Relapse Prevention

1) Will acting on this temptation bring me long-term satisfaction or instant gratification?

2) What will be the end result if I act on this temptation?

3) If I choose to act on this temptation will it make my life better or worse?

4) Do I take 100% responsibility for my own actions or do I blame others and make excuses?

5) Can anything force me to act out on this trigger against my will?

6) Is there a part of me that wants to walk away from this?

7) Can I choose to follow that part that wants to walk away?

8) Is there a feeling of peace that will come to me if I walk away?

9) Would I feel better about myself tomorrow if I didn’t act out today?
10) Can the addicted part of my brain force me to act out against my will?
These questions have helped thousands of people, when they feel triggered. We know they can help you.
Have a great day.
