Some kind of wonderful
You have to 'be' before you can 'do,' and do before you can 'have.
~ Zig Ziglar ~
I opened up an email this morning and the first thing I read was, "Something wonderful wants to happen by means of you today."
I read that line and thought, Yeah. That's right. Something wonderful wants to happen through me today. What will it be?
How often have you started your day with the thought, "I wonder what will happen today?" And then ducked your head just in case the happening wasn't some kind of wonderful?
What if we were to think instead, "I wonder what wonderful things I can make happen today?"
Several years ago, during the first winter that I was working at the homeless shelter, I received an email one day from a beautiful woman who, after hearing about the desperate need for winter clothing for homeless Calgarians, sent out an email to her entire contact list asking people to support her in collecting funds for mitts, hats, socks and other winter essentials. Thinking she would possibly get a couple of responses, in less than one day she raised $800 -- and the calls were just starting to come in, she excitedly wrote to tell me.
She set out to make something wonderful happen. And she did. (Thank you Suzanne P.)
She was Proactive. Engaged. Caring.
Committed to Be. Do. Have.
Inspiring.
A wonderful gift!
If I want to have a wonderful day today, it's up to me to set out to create wonderful happenings in my day. It is not the universe's job to deliver wonderful on a plate sizzled up with sparklers and all that jazz. We create wonderful in our lives when we live with the full potential of our creative spirits alive with all that jazz sizzling hot and committed to being all that we can be and do and create.
For me, I'm setting out today to create wonderful in my life. I'm committed to the Be. Do. Have. of my existence. I'm committed to being spectacularly alive so that in all my words, thoughts, actions, and interactions, I create a wonderful difference in my world and the world around me.
The question is: What about you? Are you waiting for some invisible hand to serve you up a plate of wonderful, or are you grabbing the day in both hands and adding all that jazz you possess to create 'some kind of wonderful!'?
