I can't express this enough how much I've learned by watching Oprah's Lifeclass. I find myself quoting parts of the episodes and the lessons taught. I've had friends ask, "Why do you watch that? It's just a rehash of her shows." I respond with, "It's different though. There are these lessons she discusses and it causes you to place those lessons within the context of your own life." I think those words fell on deaf ears. Today I noticed myself discussing how much I love the show, again. I reference the lessons in much of the way a religious person quotes scripture. The only thing that's different is that I don't pray for some being to make my life what I think it should/could/ hope to be - I look within my own being to make it so. I am an active participant in my life. Constantly looking for the lessons and the things to be happy about. Speaking of which...
- I'm glad that today everything just seemed to work out. Only proving my point that I shouldn't worry or get all worked up about things. It's never really THAT serious. Even when it appears to be - there's always something worse that could happen. When the worst possible thing you can think of happens - I'm sure you can think of something else that could make it worse. Depending on the perspective, the only thing that's worse is death. If you're a religious person, that's really not a bad thing either unless you believe in hell and you're going there.
- Had a really good meeting with students where they recognized a lot of things on their own. YOu gotta love those moments.
- Traffic this morning and this evening seemed to be pretty light. I enjoyed just cruising into work in just under 30 minutes.
- A lesson worth noting - The life you plan is not necessarily the life you live.
- Things I was called today by people - VIP, A Protagonist, Creative, Funny. I never really thought about things people would call me until today. Those are all pretty positive words!
