What if life were perfect?
What if you lived in a perfect world of perfect people and perfect possessions, with everyone and everything doing the perfect thing at perfect time?
What if you had everything you wanted, and only what you wanted, exactly as you wanted, precisely when you wanted it?
What if, after a perfect length of time, you decided, “Perfection is a perfect bore.”
What if, at that point in your perfect world, you noticed for the first time a button marked, “Surprise.”
What if you walked over, considered all that might be contained in the concept of “surprise,” decided, “Anything’s better than perfect boredom,” took a deep breath, pushed the button and found yourself where are right now—feeling what you’re feeling now, thinking what you’re thinking now, with everything in your life precisely the way it is now.
Everything We Wish We Had Learned About Life In School—But Didn’t
DO IT! Get Off Out Buts
Getting What You Want—Enjoying What You’ve Got
You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought: A Book for People with Any Life-Threatening Illness—Including Life
Focus on the Positive: The You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought Workbook The Portable LIFE
By the time we graduate from high school, we have spent some 14,500 hours in classroom. But in all that time, did we learn—or even explore—the meaning of life?
We learned how to calculate the square root of an isosceles triangle (invaluable in daily life), but did we learn how to forgive ourselves and others?
We dissected of frog, but perhaps never explored the dynamics of human relationships.
We know what pi is, but we’re not sure who we are.
We know how to diagram a sentence, but we may not know how to love ourselves.
Did we learn about worthiness (and how to get it), the power of thoughts (and how to use them), or the value of mistakes?
Did anyone teach us how to use guilt, resentment, pain and fear for our upliftment, learning and growth?
Did we learn our purpose in life?
