Hello,
This is Stefania.
Welcome to Wisdom Bits,
Short,
Tiny,
Energy boosting talks about this and that,
And tips on living a positive lifestyle and embracing the good in life.
Today let's talk about playing it safe and accepting the least amount of good in our lives versus raising our sights and accepting the most and the best.
The thought came to me today,
We often say,
At least.
At least this didn't happen.
At least maybe I'll get this thing or that part about this deal even if I don't achieve my goal completely.
It's said that words have power,
That words can influence our minds and therefore influence outcomes.
So I'm wondering now,
When we say at least,
Does that mean that we're asking the universe actually for the least possible outcome instead of the best possible outcome?
We might think for instance,
If you apply for some position or some job,
At least these people will know I exist.
But the other side of the coin is,
At best you get that position.
At best you make a contact that will move you closer to your dream.
I wonder if maybe we should just give some thought to flipping the switch.
When thinking about a desired outcome try,
At best,
This can happen.
Maybe it will be like I am asking the universe,
Opening my mind,
My spirit,
To the best possible outcome rather than the least good that I could get out of a situation.
When perhaps someone else who was open to the best gets the best and I or whomever might get just the least because that's exactly in a well-meaning way what I what we asked for.
It's something to give thought to isn't it?
Our words do have power.
Sometimes we may think I'm being realistic by saying at least I'll get my foot in the door.
Somebody else could possibly be getting more than a foot in the door simply because they open themselves to more.
Does at least mean a lack of or a fear of commitment?
Fear of committing to a desired outcome because we might be disappointed or not up to the task?
So we say at least if this happens maybe we have to become a little bolder.
Maybe we have to just have more faith in our ability.
It's worth an experiment to try don't you think?
That which is meant to be ours is ours but we do have to claim it and take right action with a strong positive attitude and a belief in ourselves and our abilities.
Instead of for something that you really want instead of saying at least go for it.
At best this will happen.
You know what they say somebody's got to win so might as well be you might as well be me might as well be us.
Give it a go.
It doesn't mean not to be grateful for every tiny bit of good in our lives.
A hundred percent grateful but it just means I believe it just means to stretch a little more.
Reach for the star that's that bit further.
Think a little bigger.
So let's say we check ourselves.
We may hear those words coming to our lips our minds at least.
Flip the switch to at best this will happen and be open and receptive and grateful.
Give it a try.
I know you can do it because you are amazing.
You're a miracle.
You're a blessing to yourself and to those in your world.
And that's it for today's wisdom bits.
Until next time.
You
