Compare these two expressions, one you have probably heard countless times and one is a new twist on the old idea.
Good things come to those who wait.
Great things come to those who ask:
what can I do to make my life better and better?
Granted, the first one encourages patience but can also imply that passively waiting will yield the desired fruit. You've heard the joke:
For months a man gets up in the morning and prays to win the lottery. One day a loud and exasperated sounding voice fills the man's bedroom and says, "Help me out... buy a ticket."
Passive patience won't work unless you first take action. Sow the seeds. Do the things to make your life better and better. Use free will to make better choices. YOU have the power to surf the turbulent waves of this "great recession."
Maybe I'm missing the passive gene but I'm a more action-oriented person. When I hit obstacles, I take a look at the choices I made that placed me in the predicament and then ask "What can I learn from this?" Giving up is not an option.
In my turn-around phrase I ask: What can I do to make my life better and better? When I get an answer I take action. After all, how can I "win the lottery" unless I buy the ticket?
Until next time... bliss,
Caryn
