"Life is a lot like an airline flight... You can only carry along light baggage and you must pay extra for an upgraded seat." Johnnie Williams
I believe that we all carry different types of baggage, but there is a price to pay when taking it onto a plane and for carrying it along in life. We will (either) pay a toll in our health or in the accumulating costs of various coping methods that offer illusions of escape or relief.
So many of us take our issues right along with us wherever we go, or are going. We allow yesterday to rain down, despite today's sunshine. We have got to STOP doing this or allowing others to do it to us.
ENJOY = inner JOY and the JOURNEY has JOY within it
[ JOY ] Think About It...
Who takes it from you
What is it to you
Where can you find it
When did you lose it
Why can't you keep it
How can you restore it
Don't rob yourself of your own joy, trying to decipher whether your glass is half empty or half full. Celebrate the fact that there's something in the cup!!!
And, whether you're carrying a wallet or purse full of issues, remember that it's not about what JOY awaits you, but the joy that is presently around you to access right now. So ask yourself:
- What issue are you carrying around that is weighing you down?
- How can you unpack or unload some of your emotional weight?
- And, how will this pay off for you?
Rest In power my friend... Keenan "Coach K" Coleman
