This afternoon in traffic on my way into town for a meeting, I was directly behind a car which had this quote printed clearly on its back windscreen:EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAS ITS PURPOSE.
FIND ITS REASON.
FIND ITS REASON.
When I looked to the right of the car, heading towards me on the other side of the road at that exact moment, was a big FedEx truck.
What did this "ironic" moment tell me? That I should have chosen FedEx and not DHL?
No. To say that would be to harp back to the past and wish to change what has already been done.
What in fact that moment told me (yet again) is that I must tune into, listen to and trust my inner voice above any other. I clearly haven't been doing that lately. Twice I didn't listen to myself in relation to my camera. The first time, it fell. The second time is all that is happening now.
On a larger scale is this message about the camera? No. A camera is simply a piece of equipment at the end of the day. The larger message, a very important one, is about me.
Time to be quiet ... intend and not extend ... listen to and trust myself and the signs around me.
