The comedy colossus Tommy Cooper had it right!Sometimes it is a simple case of "just like that, not like that", but how many of us are ready to accept his inspired suggestion?
...to enjoy a new point of view?
...to take a change of direction?
...to be open to all possibilities?
Try this exercise for a minute, to help you decide...
For the next 20 seconds, look around the space you are in (room, canteen, office, comedy club...) and try to see as much RED as possible!
Everything red!
Look for Red!
You want RED!
HUNT THE RED!
Now, I want you to close your eyes (...at the end of this sentence) and take 20 seconds to recall all the things you noticed that where, brown!
How many did you get? 1, 2, none! So what does this tell us?
Well, putting it simply, it tells us "SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND!" Focus on what you want and you will found it when it comes along. Be it; opportunity, a smile, better health, more rewarding career, even fun...
So what opportunity could you choose to look for today, that you have not seen before?
How about your next promotion, rather than the boss on your shoulder?
How about the healthier YOU, rather than the ebb and flow of the weighing scales every morning?
How about the joy of meeting your future partner, rather than being sooo single today?
I urge you to find that new ambition and focus on it, and take that new view... or as my learned friend would say, fulfill your ambition "just like that, not like that!"
