Acceptance & Scripting

Hi, this is Brian with another mini chapter from A Philosopher's Notes. This one's called Acceptance and Scripting. How about some more goodness on acceptance, plus another Tolle gem. Sir Eckhart tells us that when faced with a situation, we can do nothing to change. Rather than moan and wail and otherwise suffer. It makes a whole lot more sense to not only accept it, but to act as if you scripted the event to occur in your life. That's a remarkably powerful way to go from victim into creator. Fact is, as the great teachers tell us, every situation is essentially neutral or empty of meaning, and we always have the power to choose the most empowering interpretation of that event. Or, of course, the least empowering interpretation. Those moment to moment choices essentially determine whether we go through life joyfully or miserably. So choose wisely and the next time you're faced with a train wreck, why not see if you can shift your perspective from oh my God, why did this happen to me? To what a fascinating event I scripted into my life. I wonder how I'm going to grow from this and how it can serve my highest goal of more consistently connecting to and expressing the Divine within me. I repeat, how we interpret an event is always within our control. Let's have fun choosing wisely, Acceptance and scripting. Let's accept and act as if we scripted it, get the most wisdom juice we can from it, and continue to create our ideal lives. All right, Hope you dug it. Look forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, have an awesome day.
