‘If you expect disappointment, you can never really be disappointed’, A very famous dialogue of a Hollywood movie series. I myself have herd this in many of the conversations, in the last few days. More of being mentioned jokingly, than in the more serious and meant terms.
But the very fact that I realize the impact such medium can have on our mindsets, makes me think about the relevance and rationality of this statement. Disappointment to me no matter how it comes, is not something which can be categorized as any close to life-affirming. And when I think even deeper into this statement, I realize that there are actually two aspects of it, that make me not find my synchronization with preparing oneself for disappointment.
The first one which goes in total alignment with how I live my life is, that in life we should only and only be expecting things and have thoughts which are life-affirming or life-contributing. It is all about our attitude towards life, that finally decides what kind of life we get to experience. And if our approach is that of being prepared for disappointments, then in the true way of looking at things, we start living the disappointment much before even something has not turned out to be right for us. What an irony it is, that just because we are not totally sure of the outcome, we keep our buffer system active to presume failure to come to us. A bigger irony is what if that failure never happens? What do we then gain, by allowing some negative energies to float around us, when all that we were destined to get was only and only positive. Think about it, and I am sure, you will only want to breathe the positive way from here on.
The second and a very huge reason that makes me not align with this dialogue is my belief that we attract what we prepare ourselves for. I have believed and have experienced almost everything in my life to happen in line with this principle. I am a huge believer of the universe aligning to best intentions and our most sincere and honest desires for our life. And because I have seen my life, and that of many others happening in complete alignment with this thought, it makes no sense to me to allow any thoughts of disappointments, least being prepared for disappointments. I find myself short of words, in explaining how strong I think about life to be lived only on optimism and positive manifestation.
We are in the first week of a new year, and I am sure that whatever plans we all have made for ourselves, and what we visualize for ourselves in the year 2022, is all life-affirming and all positive. What I wish to say here is that this will only become the reason for the year ahead to be one of your better years of life.
So yes, enjoy the movies for all the entertainment they provide, but be mindful of what you allow to impact your way of thinking, no matter if it was even spoken by your favorite Peter Parker(The Spider Man) or MJ(Meri Jaan)…oops I mean, MJ(Mary Jane).
Have a great and joyous first Sunday of 2022. Stay Safe and be loving.
Love. RB!
