I'm still experiencing the awe and sheer appreciation of being in a place far from home, a new city to explore and be in. And it is so thrilling! I was browsing Walgreens (an American equivalent-ish of Boots in the UK). And I was just filled with excitement, amazement and appreciation- I'd easily say I was the happiest person in that place for being in that place!
For most of the people there, it was probably same ol, same ol, as it can be for me when I'm in my home surroundings, but then and there, it was just so exhilarating!
It demonstrated to me how different one's perspective can be despite the fact that you're in exactly the same environment as someone who could be miserable.
The choice, my dear, is yours. You can take in the amazingness of everything around you, like a child in constant exploration. Or, you can just be stuck in the old patterns that you've experienced day in, day out. The key here, is choice and awareness. Do what you do, but know you're doing it.
Most of the thousands of thoughts we have today are a repetition of what we've had yesterday and the day before. The goal is shift them to a more positive mindset. And then you're living a good life!
All is well!!!
Happy Walgreen-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
