Power of Choice VIII

‘Shit happens’ is a common enough statement these days. It does...but less in the likeliest of places and more in the unlikeliest of them.

Constipation! A condition where motions are not quite enough...in the insides and from the insides! That’s because there are more ‘e’motions than is good for us. The more we tend to think the less we’re likely to move.

So, ‘shit happens’ applies more to a state of feeling where things happen that we don’t want to happen, as if life is a computer game where things must go as we want them to. When that doesn’t happen, shit happens!

Well, shit happens because our tolerance spectrum is narrow. We desire that things happen to us, around us and for us in a way that suits us. We do not wish to adapt to things as they develop because we’re lazy, inflexible, habituated to a certain way.

If we choose to be less rigid, fixated, habituated and inflexible a lot more shit will happen where it should, when it’s a desired outcome that leaves us feeling relaxed, light, happy, almost fairy-like. We’ll probably come out singing aloud from the can when shit happens, rather than morose, uptight, tensed, unhappy and...generally, constipated.

We need to choose to adapt to life and its unfolding situations than to expect a life that goes according to our whims, desires or requirements.

The beauty of life is that it throws up new, unexpected, sometimes challenging, sometimes exhilarating situations before us. If we welcome these then life is exciting, wonderful, engaging and amazing.

When we don’t, ‘something’ happens, a something that we don’t quite seem to like or enjoy or welcome.

Would you like more shit to happen or less? That’s your call...and you get to choose the place where it should happen - or not!

Choose wisely!
