Henry Ward Beecher observed that ‘the difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t.’
One way to transform your awareness of a situation from a ‘it won’t work; it won’t ever get better; it won’t happen’ thinking level to a perspective of ‘I will find the resources to make it work; I will attract a solution; I will make this or that happen’ thinking is to look for the opportunities in every situation to persevere and be nourished by the learning.
Reverend Ron Fox shared a story I had never heard before that summed up the opportunity for transforming awareness by shifting your perspective very neatly. The story is about the difference between heaven and hell. Heaven has a beautiful banquet table set with the most delicious foods. Hell has a beautiful banquet table set with the most delicious foods. Both places have lots of people with utensils strapped to their arms in a way that they cannot feed themselves. However, in hell everyone is mad as, well hell, that they cannot eat the food. In heaven, everyone is feeding each other.
How will you live today? And always, remember to Don't Die with Vacation Time on the Books!
Happy eating! Thank you.
