Jambo John!
Have you noticed that while some things go amazingly to plan, others never seem to get off the ground?
There are lots of reasons, but have you also noticed that either way, there’s always lots of room to be happy?
I saw this play out for my 8-year-old yesterday. She and two friends planned all morning, over countless, brief phone calls, for an afternoon video shoot in which they would star as “high schoolers.”
Once they finally got together, dressed up for their parts, changed the plot, changed their minds (and clothes) 3 more times, and then dabbled with make-up, removed it and reapplied it—all peppered with squeals and giggles—filming (with Mom’s borrowed cell phone) was underway... |
|
This all took 5 hours, in addition to the planning, from which they shot about 4 minutes of video that they haven’t even watched yet.
By all accounts, however, the entire day was so much fun, their next shoot is now being planned.
My guess is as good as yours as to why, despite obvious setbacks, they had so much fun. But I suspect it lay in the process – the dreaming, scheming, and best efforts. And being together. Or maybe it was the eye shadow.
But it doesn’t matter, does it?
Actually, John, I think most things don’t matter for the reasons we think. Which means, if we can learn to change our reasons, focusing less on outcomes and more on the process, we might all squeal and giggle a whole lot more.
What do you think? Tell me on Facebook under this post!
Happy October! 💗 |

| P.S. And then, John, sometimes our planning is wildly exceeded… I’m almost in disbelief that every Tuesday for 3 years I’ve taught a LIVE Mini-Manifesting workshop to 3,000 people. Not 3,000 people over 3 years... 3,000 every single Tuesday.I hereby invite you to join us (on me) this Tuesday! |
