Today I came across an affirmation from Louise Hay – “I love stretching my mind, thinking of the highest good available”. I love that – I love the idea of stretching yourself to imagine the best possible scenario. Now some people will say this is unrealistic…and to them I say: Bullshit.
Is it realistic to imagine that someone who is 5 minutes late home has been hit by a comet? No. Is it realistic to imagine that the boss wants a word because they will sack you? No. Is it possible? Oh yeah…but 99% of the things we worry about never happen – so is worry realistic? No.
Also, if you are in the habit of looking for the best in people, situations, yourself, you are more likely to find it (the same applies if you look for the worst) so it then becomes more realistic. “Realistic” when applied in this way usually means “pessimistic” and frankly, optimists have way more fun.
So today, stretch your mind by thinking of the best that is possible for you. Maybe, just maybe that ‘best’ is realistic, and something you can achieve. But you’ll never know unless you try!
