I subscribe to Totally Unique Thoughts, which provides me with something to think about every day. What is very interesting about this subscription is that these sayings seem to come at a time when I need them the most. For instance, yesterday I spent a little time dwelling on the past. As in, what coulda woulda mighta. Then the following statement came in my email box today:
If you didn’t do what you
wish you had done, Corrina, or if you did do what you wish
you hadn’t, may I suggest that back then you were simply acting on instinct,
and that it served you well?Particularly knowing as I know, how else things could have gone and how far
ahead you now are.Oh yeah, you done good, Corrina. Real, real good.
And this is exactly right. I needed this reminder today and several times today. My instincts have served me very well, given the various circumstances I’ve faced. I believe this is true for almost everyone.
When I’m feeling guilty about not doing enough, this statement reminds me that all is right in my little personal world. It’ll all work out so I don’t need to fret today. I have done enough. My instinct to throw in the towel for today is good. I’ll stop and get some rest.
