Hello ,
This week, I lost my car keys!
It sounds funny but it wasn’t exactly funny.
I went for a run. My car keys were in my pocket because I had just finished the workout and as my normal routine, I would go for a short run after my workout.
So, I went for the run for fifteen minutes and when I came back to the car, I couldn’t find my keys. I started worrying and thinking maybe I lost them and someone had picked them up. I even started thinking the person could be somewhere hidden watching me so they can steal the car.
As I was looking for the keys, I saw someone picking up litter in the same environment. My worry persisted and I started worrying that he might have seen the car keys, picked it up and is waiting for me to leave so he could take my car away.
I thought of the worst scenarios. The worst things that can happen kept coming to my mind as I looked for the keys for 10 - 15 minutes on the road.
I kept wondering how I might have to take an Uber back home or how I would explain the situation to my husband.
In that instant, I then thought, why don’t I think of the possibilities instead of the worst scenarios.
Immediately, I decided to change my perspective and think of the ways I can find the key along the road.
I started to say in my mind - My car keys are not stolen. I’ll find them along the road.
Imagine saying that to yourself as you walk along a 2km road you had just run from. It sounded silly because truly they could have been picked up.
As I said this to myself, five minutes into looking for it and seeing the possibilities, I found the car keys!
I was so thankful. So thankful to God.
What I’m trying to say is, sometimes when we decide to achieve goals, we can be so pessimistic about the worst possibilities that we forget to see the optimistic possibilities.
You need to condition and coach your mind to see the optimistic possibilities.
This incident was interesting because, just before that day, it was one of the things and conversations I was having with myself. About what I see in every opportunity. Do I see the opportunities or possible setbacks?
From that experience with the car keys, I told myself - Going forward, I will see myself with the eyes of my Maker and see the possibilities of my dreams and every vision I set before myself. I will speak and affirm myself about the possibilities.
Because…
Why should the negative things happen? And even if they do, all things work together for the good of those who love God.
See the possibilities in your dreams, visions and affirm yourself.
Going forward and from the month of May, see the possibilities in every single thing you set to achieve.
Also, please let me know if my newsletters speak to you in any way.
Call To Action - There are endless optimistic possibilities. Know this and choose to see these possibilities.
Shine on.
Stay Inspired.
