Monday Motivation….. October 10, 2011 (035)
Recently Bill ordered a spiffy new cell phone with a fabulously low billing rate. The promotion was so popular, Bill was told, that there would be a 30-90 day wait for the phone. Okay, He can wait; all these years of meditation should have taught him a little patience, at least.
Eleven days later Bill tried to make a call from his current cell phone, and got the message, “Your phone has a verification problem. Please call the business office.” God bless the phone company, He thought (not the first time). He called the business office and the representative told him they had no clue why his phone wouldn’t access. His bill was paid, and their diagnostic showed no problem. He talked to several reps, still no help. God bless the phone company.
When He arrived home he found a FedEx box sitting at his doorstep with a new phone. He plugged it in, and voila! it worked like a charm. The phone company had disconnected his old phone because it had transferred service to his new one.

Moral:
Please recognize a powerful lesson in this experience:
If the old thing isn’t working any more, it will not do you any good to fight to reinstate it or keep it alive. If you have completed a career phase, level of relationship, or stage of life, the Big Phone Company in the Sky (really within you) has hooked your energy up to the next thing, and any effort to resuscitate the old will only be frustrating and wasted. Instead, focus your attention and energy on where you are now or where you want to be going, and the object of your vision will show up without struggle or strain.
Have a rejuvenated week ahead!
