Dear Hearts,
What is your mental image of yourself today? Perhaps for some of us, it's mid-way into a long week and our mental image of ourselves as successful is not quite as vibrant as it was. Perhaps others of us have had an extremely uplifting week so far and our mental image of ourselves as successful is brighter and more vivid than ever.
So how do we move into an arena where no matter what the days or weeks hold, we still see ourselves as successful? The poet Rumi said, "Beyond any right doing or wrong doing, there is a field, meet me there." What if we named that field "success" and all agreed to meet there at the end of each day? When we arrived at this neutral field and recounted our day, we could only focus on our success.
Whether that success would be getting through traffic, taking care of our children, standing firm in the middle of a challenge, acting in integrity in our business and personal life, making a commitment to ourselves to learn from our mistakes and not become victims of them -- this is all huge success. We are born for success...and success wears a vast array of faces.
Today, let's realize it's not what happens that determines our success, it's how we choose to think about and handle what happens that defines our success.
Love and blessings,
Barbara
