EPISODE 217

Let me share another true story with you.

A painful one.

A couple of years ago, as I was closing my car door with my left hand in the parking lot a local business, I got distracted and I slammed the car door with my left hand on all four of my fingers on my right hand, trapping all four of my fingers on my right hand in between the car door and the car body, with the car door locked.

Ouch!

It was immediately extremely painful and was an instance of adversity in my own life.

Sometimes a situation in your own your life "slams the door" on you, causing you unexpected pain or an obstacle that leaves you momentarily trapped or is a setback in your life.

You feel your access to progress in your own life is blocked by a locked door.

When you find yourself in such a situation in your own life, how can you pickup your keys and unlock the door that is blocking you?

Life will slam doors on you from time-to-time.  You always have the keys in own pocket to unlock such doors.  You my drop your own keys.  Even in such a situation when you do, you can bend down, pick them up, unlock that door and keep going and create a positive impact in your own life.

EPISODE 226

The other day, I made a small mistake while ordering something online. I typed in the wrong street address for my location to have my package delivered.

While trying to deliver the package, the delivery driver called me, confused. The location on her GPS delivery system in her truck, was showing a fire hydrant in an empty field. 

I laughed quickly gave them the deliver driver my correct address. My package was successfully delivered, but my typing mistake stuck with me.

I was not surprised the fire hydrant may had a GPS address tag as the fire department needs to know where the fire hydrants are in an emergency situation.

However, the fact that my small mistakes got mapped to a fire hydrant in an empty field got me thinking: how often does a small mistake in your own life leave your somewhere you did not expect?

A single mistyped number, letter or set of misspoken words can often send you far off course in your own life.

How do you correct such mistakes in your own life?

Giving the Universe your correct address can create a significant positive impact in your own life.
