Go With The Flow!

A really good friend of mine introduced me to the concept of "go with the flow". Time for me to trust in the future and not try to bend it to my own liking....

Go with the flow. If it's going to happen, it "probably" will. Why waste time, energy and emotion worrying about things you can't control anyway. I am a BLOODY NIGHTMARE for worrying about what's going to happen.

If I do "this" will "that" happen?

If I say "this" to her will it put her off?

If I told "that" to so and so, would it affect "this" later on?

Etc. Etc. Etc. All the time. Add in the fact that I'm naturally pessimistic, with low self-esteem, and it's a recipe to keep on and on dreaming up, and suffering the consequences of, self-fulfilling prophecies. I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.

Incidentally, the pic is taken out of the window a little while ago - “red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning” - and I include it because it is the opposite of how I feel today. I feel POSITIVE!

Being a “glass half-empty” person hasn’t got me very far has it. I’ve seen half-closed doors as “already being shut”.

2008 is only a few days away, and I have such a positive feeling about life, the universe, and everything (42). Where half-closed doors have been ignored in the past, it’s time to approach them, push gently, and see what happens. Some may well end up slamming and trapping my fingers, but others may open up and reveal a field of dreams. This will be applied across all aspects of life.

There’s a tempting half-open door in front of me right now. Before now I would have assumed it will change from half-open to “locked, bolted, welcome mat removed” and given up before giving it a try. This time? I’m knocking on that door (you rarely see such lovely knockers these days) and seeing where it takes me. And no, I am NOT giving any hints about it whatsoever.
