Re: ComPact 2017 – Appreciative April!

@justbee, I know it's not April any longer, but I just read your reply to my last, and I want you to know, I can't understand a universe in which you are not my neighbor, or colleague, or fellow whatever. I keep thanking you for your insights, persistence, and downright good sense, and I'm doing it again right now. (Of course, it seems you and I agree on many things, so it's only natural that I find you brilliant (duh)...Smiley LOL)

 

 Anyway, I can see we could talk for hours about responsibility and choice and cabbages and kings, but here it is, May, and I'll save it for the Mayhem that emerges.

 

Here's what I've been thinking about: if I could manage to only focus on what I want, and not pay attention to anything I'm resisting or disliking, then I think everything in my reality would change. Maybe not instantly--this is Planet Earth--but soon.

 

And in the Compacting world, that translates, I suspect, into 'how wonderful it is that I have what I have' rather than 'how I can resent and get rid of what I have'. Not, mind you, that I won't get rid of stuff I have, just that I will focus on how great I feel about the stuff, and then choose to keep or get rid of it with perfect equanimity.

 

Dare I say it? What the decision is, is UNimportant. What matters is the place within me that did the deciding. Not very grammatically graceful, but you know what I mean, I hope.

 

Cheers for May!

P.S. I know what you mean!
