Day 88

Day 88: Real Time
Day 6: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


Acceptance.

Mindfulness.

Staying in the present.

The Law of Attraction.


Each of these concepts flows around me now as I travel this road to becoming complaint free.

A video clip showed up on my computer screen, having found its way through cyberspace to me at exactly the right time. A time when I’m still struggling to understand (and accept) that life will never be struggle-free. (The fact that I just wrote that sentence illustrates how far I have to come, even now!) To strive for a time when all is in place in my life, with no problems or issues is only to ensure never-ending frustration.

The clip is of an interview with Will Smith, the rapper turned TV star turned movie icon. And now I can see why he has achieved such fame in his life so far, but more importantly why he seems to have it all. He has actually worked to make it happen. And apparently he wasn’t born with all of that abundance in his life as some have been.

It’s because he knows what is important and he believes it belongs to him. He sets the plan in motion every day, without fail. (Go to q=+will+smith+and+the+law+of+attraction&FORM=VDRE&qpvt=+will+smith+and+the+law+of+attraction# and listen to Will talk about the Law of Attraction and how it has worked in his life.)

Yesterday I dealt with another problem with my car, a topic that has thrown me into a tailspin before. This time, though, I focused on the moment, dropping it off at the dealership for their diagnosis, staying calm, and then waiting for the call. Imagine my surprise when my phone rang a few hours later to tell me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. And then they didn't charge me the diagnosis fee that I had signed for in the morning when I met with the service advisor.


Day 6. What do I wish to attract today?
