How often do you catch yourself in a state of lost faith, wandering the mental mine-field of wishing for a different life?  We all do it, the “if only” …I had a better job, …I had a different house, …I had a partner/was with a different partner, etc., etc., etc. The trick to getting past this is tending your gratitude garden with thoughts of, “I want what I have”.

What is the best thing that could happen?  The worst? What will I need for either?

Even when you think you got it all worked out and have a life plan in place consider exploring other angles.  A beginner’s mind is always open to the better way, one that serves the long-view. Things change and paths wander, having multiple interests simultaneously opens doors to new ideas and help you hit the ground running as things change. The only thing constant in life is change.  Weather it be a line of work, a hobby or whatever spreading you life tree branches out is always a resourceful policy.
