My #1 Question for Creating Positive Change
There’s no one alive who doesn’t experience challenges, setbacks, and frustrating circumstances.
Some people get through it quickly, and some people wallow in it their whole lives.
Why? What’s the difference between the people?
Is it the person or is it the approach?
This is a nature / nurture / character question, but it’s also a choice and attention question. What do you choose to focus on?
Do you focus on the problem, the solution, or the learning?
The question that creates the most beneficial movement in my life is not a whine to the Gods of misfortune. It’s a simple and straightforward question that gets me out of retribution seeking where anything that’s “other” is punished, and into the space where potency becomes purpose and pragmatism creates new possibilities.
It’s simply, “What can I be learning from this?” or, “What am I meant to learn from this?”
The first, “what can I be learning from this?”, has phrasing that empowers the individual.
The second, “What am I meant to learn from this?”, has phrasing that recognizes a higher power.
The phrasing is personal preference.
“What am I learning from this?” takes the power away from the victim mindset that thinks everything is everyone else’s fault, and puts it back in the hands of your internal captain.
This captain knows the seas of consciousness better than the ship’s instrumentation, which is limited by the capabilities of current technology.
The captain’s gnostic sense has been shaped by a lifetime of experience, and by Soul’s experiences over many lifetimes. This gnostic sense has interdimensional capability.
This question – what can I be learning from this – awakens the inner mystic and beckons consciousness to co-creation.
This question invigorates learning, personal responsibility, and new understandings with the ability to instigate awakenings and behavior changes.
If your desires lack integrity, this internal interrogation will show it. If your desires are out of integrity, your heart will know it.
This simple question – what am I meant to learn from this? – brings your heart out of your head and prioritizes its full presence.
“What am I learning from this?” humbles the internal hater, stirs the silent savior within oneself, and opens doors for our highest potential to share ideas that the vindictive victim would never have thought of because it was too busy pointing fingers at others.
“What am I learning from this?” is a great surrendering, and it’s also a great remembering. A surrendering to life beyond yourself and a remembering of what life really is for you and through you – a co-creative, choose-your-learning, adventure.
If you’re looking to shift things in your life, don’t start with the things; start with yourself. Ask and inquire. Sit and listen. You may be surprised by your own answers, and you may be amazed by where learning takes you.
