Hello, this is Alexandra. Welcome to another optimize +1. Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor. Roomie. I have a little ornament with this quote hanging by my door that leads out to the garage. It reminds me that everything in life can be used for my personal transformation. Everything. So here are some mundane things that I've used this quote for this week. A kid on the ground screaming at me because I didn't make the smoothie right then. My other child crying because she tripped and hurt her knee. Two kids crying now. Yep, everything is rigged in my favor. How will I respond? Trying to meditate and do some work. And a toddler takes a very short nap. Deep breath. Someone makes a negative comment about something I've created. I am irritated by what a loved one says to me. Babysitter cancels. And I need to completely change my schedule up with a toddler at night. A favorite shirt ruined in the laundry. Dinner spilled all over the floor. Yep, everything is rigged in my favor. I always have a choice in how I will respond. What would it look like if we approached all the less than optimal things that can happen in a day with something like this? Ah, yes, of course. Everything is rigged in my favor. This is for me. Everything is for me, not against me. Life is always supporting my evolution. Let me look for the lessons. How can I see this as an opportunity to learn and grow here? Spilled smoothies and criticisms are definitely different than greater losses. But even in the really hard times, if we can hold space for transformation, for everything that happens in our life, the good and even the crazy, challenging times, we can grow. Sometimes we wouldn't choose certain lessons, but they choose us. And we get to decide how we will navigate it. There is always a choice. I've also noticed that this perspective makes life feel more magical. The good feels sweeter. The joy expands. And I see that everyday life is nourishing my soul with sprinkles of miracles. Someone says something kind to you, Yay. Life is rigged in your favor. You get a new client. Your child tells you she loves you. You run into a dear friend you haven't seen in a while at the grocery store. You have a moment of peace as you look up at the trees and the sky. You complete a big project. You feel totally on your game. All day long. Who who who doesn't love that everything is rigged in your favor. Test this out as you move through your day silently say everything is rigged in my favor. Notice if this helps you change your perspective and responses and hopefully it will make you laugh a little bit more too. Have an amazing day. Sending you big love and blessings.
