Some days we try to put on a sunny disposition. But that’s like trying to pay your taxes. Either you do or you don’t. If we try to forecast a sunny day, under our teeth we still think it’ll be ruined, so we bring our umbrellas “just in case.” Your so-called “just in case” is just another way of displaying distrust. Your “just in case” shows you just how little you trust anyone or yourself. I think you can wing it.
Leave your umbrella at home. Enjoy the variables as they arise. Trust in them – they’re teaching you to dance in the rain. You can still have a sunny disposition on a rainy day. Play in the puddles, if that’s the case. Whatever it is you fear will let you down is you. You let yourself down when circumstances don’t meet your expectations. You set yourself up for disappointment. Be open. Go with whatever the weather is, and you can stop forecasting altogether.
Be determined to be sunny at all times and in all conditions. This is the only way to guarantee success. You generate the sunshine no matter what happens. Living with this kind of trust requires some brave maneuvering, but it’s a lot more fun than lugging around a Plan B and “just in case.” Trust that it will be sunny. Just in case, adjust to the conditions as they arise, and keep your sunny disposition unconditional!
That’s the fun of it. Be brave. It’s more fun to go with the flow. You won’t be disappointed if you expect great things and to keep yourself adjustable. Keep yourself up, stay up, and be the funnest person in the room no matter what. Forecast that kind of success, and you’ll never be let down again, even if the weather deteriorates.
