I had a tough week last week and really needed to find some inspiration. I picked up an old book off the shelf. It's titled 'Life 101: Everything We Wish We Had Learned About Life In School - But Didn't' by John-Roger and Peter McWilliams.
It is a fantastic book, containing lots of useful tools. I thought I'd share the prelude with you. It made me smile.
PRELUDE:What If?
What if life were perfect?
What if you lived in a perfect world of perfect people and perfect possessions, with everyone and everything doing the perfect thing at the perfect time?
What if you had everything you wanted, and only what you wanted, exactly as you wanted, precisely when you wanted it?
What if, after luxuriating in this perfect world for the perfect amount of time, you began thinking, "There seems to be a lack of risk, adventure and fun in perfection. Having it 'my way' all the time is starting to get dull."
What if, after yet another perfect length of time, you decided, "Perfection is a perfect bore."
What if, at that point in your perfect world, you noticed for the first time a button marked, "Surprise."
What if you walked over, considered all that might be contained in the concept of "surprise", decided, "Anything's better than perfect boredom", took a deep breath, pushed the button...
...and found yourself where you are right now - feeling what you're feeling now, thinking what you're thinking now, with everything in your life precisely the way it is now - reading this blog.
