I got a chance to walk my talk today.
I'm a trainer and master practitioner of NLP and Neurological repatterning. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, in a nutshell, it's the ultimate in being in charge of your thoughts and getting learnings from events in your life and in discovering & co-creating what you really want in your life.
"Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well."
- Josh Billings
You may have seen some version of this quote before and it's this quote I thought of today.
I woke up this morning to my husband telling me that all four wheels had been stolen from our car.
We (my husband & I), own a Subaru Liberty - only 9 months old and right now it us up on jacks out the front of our apartment.
Words don't describe how I felt this morning when I saw the car like that - it all felt a bit surreal.
So I asked myself this morning, "why did this happen to us" - not a particularly empowering question I have to admit. I had all these old feelings rush up from when our house was broken into when I was in year 12 (almost 20 years ago). All those feelings of intrusion of personal space and violation. It took a verbal "slap" from Warren to wake me up and get my thinking back on track. So a better question was "what can I learn from this?"
I still went to my workshop this morning and Warren eventually got to work.
I am grateful for our insurance - there will be a tow truck coming tomorrow to pick the car up and the wheels will be replaced. I got to meet some new people that live in our local area - obviously a car on blocks is quite an attention grabber.
And I'll get to do some extra walking tomorrow before we pick up a hire car on Sunday.
All in all, the day turned out ok - after all it is just a car (no matter how much I love driving it).
