“I decided to share a blog from the archives today, just because I feel someone out there needs to read this. If you’ve found yourself here, this is your time. Let these words spark something in you, as they have for countless people who discuss my blogs daily in Clubhouse conversations. There’s a lesson here, one that life presented to me in an unexpected way, and I believe it holds something special for you too.
This is about a wakeup call. It happened years ago. It’s no coincidence you’ve come across these words. Reflect on them, take them in, and allow them to guide you. The universe has a funny way of delivering its lessons, and sometimes it uses methods we don’t expect, or particularly want. I had one of those moments recently, and I want to share it with you Here goes:
Earlier today, the universe decided it was time for me to slow down, quite literally. As I left the house, laser-focused on my car keys and my day ahead, I tripped on an uneven spot in the walkway and pitched headfirst into my car. It wasn’t graceful. My left knee slammed the pavement. My right foot twisted painfully beneath me. My keys went flying about 20 feet away.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
Years ago, this would’ve set off a mental storm: anger, frustration, and self-pity. “Why me? Why today?” But that’s not how I live anymore. Instead, as I hobbled around finding my keys and made it to my meeting (scraped but okay), I laughed. ‘This is a blessing, I thought. Something good is coming from this, I just don’t know what yet.’ It’s always a choice to reframe. Pain is temporary, gratitude is forever.
The day wasn’t easy. After running errands on a throbbing foot, I finally ended up at urgent care. By then, I could barely walk, and the pain was intense. I passed out twice, something I don’t even remember but was told about later. While sitting with my incredible daughter in the waiting room, a powerful realization hit me: she was watching me. She was witnessing how I handled pain. And here I was, struggling.
I turned my focus to her. I reminded myself, ‘It’s only pain. Love is greater than this moment.’ I filled my mind and heart with love for her. I even started speaking aloud, saying, ‘This is a blessing. Something good will come from this!’ That shift in thinking made all the difference. The pain became manageable. My mindset changed the experience, and I felt a deep gratitude not just for my daughter’s presence but for the moment itself.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
I used the power of Directed Questions™. Pain can overwhelm, but the mind is a powerful ally when used wisely. I asked myself questions like: ‘What part of my body feels the best right now? In how many ways can I discover myself feeling wonderful? I wonder how delighted I will be to discover the blessings in this situation?’ By focusing on the good, I directed my mind away from the pain and onto the miracles surrounding me.
My daughter helping me, the kindness of the medical staff, and even the discovery of an amazing Indian restaurant nearby were all blessings that made this moment meaningful. So, what are some of the lessons from life’s little interruptions? This experience reminded me of a few crucial ones. Be Present. My fall was a wake-up call to slow down. I was so focused on the next task that I forgot to be in the moment.
Practicing “Zen walking” or simply doing one thing at a time is a powerful way to live. Reframe Challenges. I could’ve focused on the pain and frustration, but instead, I chose to see the blessings. This mindset shift transformed a tough day into a meaningful one. Love Is Greater. In moments of pain, focusing on love, whether for yourself or someone else, can help you rise above discomfort and find peace.
