A wonderful life

After all the serious stuff from lately, now back to a more seriously playful note:

A spiritual wisdom is:” be the change you’d like to see”
( O yeah, and make sure you mean it too and do it well, because for some reason  -you can’t fool the Universe-....if you don’t mean it, you are not doing it well, it doesn’t work).

Follow this quick (neuro-) logical recipe to leading a wonderful life.

Here is the logic:

“ I’d like to experience a wonderful life.”

Applying:” Be the change you’d like to see”  =  you have got to BE wonderful.
Fair enough.

First challenge then becomes:
How to be wonderful?

(Any wonderful person has no trouble being it, it is effortless... but if you consider yourself to be a beginner in being wonderful... how you can step into that way of being might not be as obvious... creating a HUGE catch 22 situation with lots of doubt and tension).

Well, let’s stay playful and calm here and dissect this issue to its simplest essence.

Common language is a great help here, any 6 year old knows this:

If you happily and confidently ARE something, you can construct a simple very informative sentence describing  what your happy days are full of, along these lines:

• I am (noun, indicating something), I ( verb, indicating time investments) a lot.
• I am a cyclist, I cycle a lot.
• I am a baker, I bake a lot.
• I am a builder, I build a lot.
• I am a painter, I paint a lot.

Any 6 year old quickly sees a pattern here.... noun and verb have a lot in common!

Now, ask this 6 year old for clues on how to BE full of wonder.
This expert in self-development ( look at  what this child has accomplished on that score in the last few years, with a lot of play and paying attention to what is going on!) may not need more than 2 nano seconds to come up with:

• I am a wonder, I wonder a lot.

Any six year old, even wrapped in an older skin, reading this blog on the Knowing might have noticed that some of the trippy speech recognition tools start with ‘ I wonder’.....
(this one and this one)

• I wonder if that is a coincidence.....?
• I wonder if I could play with that myself.....?
• I wonder if it works for me too......?
• I wonder how I can experiment with that.....?
• I wonder who came up with this......?*

Suddenly, you find yourself in a life full of wonder, (with a big smile on your face?).......
Wondering now what else you can BE, apart from wonderful, now you've mastered that.....?

*This blog post was brought with a big smile and elegant grace to you by my inner 6 year old, who has a tendency not only to make me smile a lot, but also to point out simple, wonderful, playful methods of self-development where adults are just simply making it all far too complicated.
