It robbed me of a lot of fun when I was a kid Zen12 Review and should not have been worrying about anything. But then, I wouldn't have been myself and my self isn't all that bad, really. My parents were serious people too. The nuns who taught at my grammar school were serious. At least that's all I saw of their personalities. It's not as if I don't have a sense of humor. I do. I can laugh at myself and the funny things I do.
I've always known that my life would be better if I would just lighten up. I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old I used to think "this (whatever I was worrying about) won't even matter 5 years from now." That's pretty deep for a child of 8, isn't it? Something that seems so important or terrible right now will seem a lot different in five years time.
To paraphrase from A Course of Miracles, which states it in a very clear and concise way, when conflicts come up, and they do, we don't have to take a position and stay with it. What happens when we give up our position? A miracle is a shift in perception, lighten up and you move to a place of miracles. When you lighten up and let go, you're in that place of miracles. A good affirmation is: I am entitled to miracles and I am staying in a position to receive one. I don't know the solution to this dilemma but I'm not supposed to know. I am prepared to forget about the past and relinquish the future.
