Life's Curveballs

Sometimes life hands you things unexpectedly.Sometimes even from left field. Then you are expected to deal with it. How you deal with it is up to you. One way is to react, another is to not react. We don't have a say at what life hands us, but we do have a say at how we handle it.

The faster you let go, the faster you have peace. The sooner you forgive the sooner you have joy. The less you react the less stressed you are. It really is up to you. A lesson I learned a few years ago in dealing with the recurrence of Cancer is that there is nothing nothing nothing worth getting upset over. Ultimately, when you are upset, there is an absence of love, whether it is of self or another. I remember when this woman Karen told me this, I was dumbfounded. If there is nothing worth getting upset over, why am I upset. Although I am human, and we all get upset, there is nothing worth the cost of joy.

Living reaction free is not always easy but it is beneficial. When you can really master that, life can throw some loopholes and you can come to a place of peace very quickly. Every day is a new day as every moment is a new moment and you get to choose.

No one can make you happy nor can they upset you. You react how you react. Happiness is from within. No external circumstance can create happiness.. Ie all the riches in the world. Nor can anyone or anything take that away. It is all a game.

So when life throws you a curve ball, shout YIPPEE, it is another opportunity to grow, to learn and to be.
