I was reading a book recently (I forgot the name) and came across this brief story contained within. I found it a really good reminder of how our own attitudes and thoughts …. or rather the way we choose to think effects out lives:
Here it is in a nutshell then….
One day the sun was talking to some of the animals of the earth. The Sun always enjoyed having these conversations as he often got a bit lonely up there in the sky. Anyway this time he really did not enjoy what he heard in the conversation.
All the animals were telling him of a really dark and fearful place where nothing but trouble happened. The Sun became very alarmed and decided that she (yes the sun is a she;) must investigate this further.
The Sun went to the very centre of this dark and fearful place. Confusion reigned in her mind for a while…..for she could see now darkness could feel no fear. She went back to the animals to tell them this. At first they were disbelieving so they asked the sun to go with them. To their delight the same dark fearful places which had previously appeared so menacing and terrible had now become a very pleasant spot that they were more than happy to be at. In fact now they could see that it was indeed full of opportunity for living: nests, burrows and food. They thanked the sun and now try to take her with them whereever they go.
THE END..
oh and of course….they all lived happily ever after!
I guess the point that I can see from all that little story is the fact that whatever situation you enter into, if you enter it with a mind to positive and to concentrate on the good aspects and not focus on the negative then you will have a great deal more success …not to mention less stress and worry.
Remeber then: Energy flows where attention goes.
