OK - I want to share something that's a little on the woo-woo side because it's from a marketer who is extremely successful at selling "channeled" material. So if you happen to be of a faith that is not comfortable reading something that came via a "channel" ... because I know that some religions teach that it's from the devil and that one must protect oneself from things of this nature ... now would be a good time to skip this post. OK, that disclaimer aside, here's what I am talking about.
First the quote, then my thoughts:
Say this when anything happens that you like.
If you find some money…
"How does it get any better then this?"
If the waiter brings you a delicious dessert for free…
"How does it get any better than this?"
A woman found a penny on the ground. She asked,
"How does it get any better than this?"
Shortly after that she found a ten-dollar bill in the back of a taxi and asked,
"How does it get any better than this?"
A shiny object in the rain drain caught her eye. It was a diamond bracelet. Unfortunately, she said,
"It can't get any better than this!" and it didn't.
Say "How does it get any better then this?"
when anything happens to you that you don't like.
If your car gets a flat tire…
"How does it get any better than this?"
If your child gets in trouble in school…
"How does it get any better than this?"
It is an invitation to the universe to show you how it can get better.

I have something going on in my personal private life that this passage speaks volumes to me about. I am on the verge of thinking we've been inadvertently inviting more drama and pain by what we've been saying about certain situations.
To Wit: "What ELSE could possibly go wrong?" ~ "Isn't that just par for the course?" ~
"That's how the Kleppins operate." ~ "What did you expect? Did you forget you're a Kleppin?" ~ "Oh, geez ... what's gonna break next?" ~ "Yeah, but with my luck, I'll just get to [good thing here] and somebody or some thing will come along and [very very bad thing here]. It never fails."
Here's one of those sticky spots that I find myself playing with ... like a child touching a spot of syrup on the table and noticing how it feels to pull the finger loose, then going back for more.
This idea that our words have this much power doesn't jive with the religious teachings I grew up with. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I've been given, by "Good Christians" with good intentions, advice that has harmed me horribly in the long haul. Yet, things that are hammered into us at an early age are the most difficult patterns of thought to eradicate in our older age. At least this has been my experience.
But in this case, I don't want to toss out the proverbial baby with the bathwater, and I want to keep an open mind about whether or not this idea has any true validity. Just because I was taught early on that "channeling" is "of the devil" doesn't make it true today. Capish?
So the fact that these words jumped out at me today makes me think that maybe I need to think about this and pay attention to my words. It will be interesting to see if changing what we say can change the horrid things we are facing.
It's worth a try ... and if it works, it could be the start of something good for a change.
What could be better than that? :)
