How Do You Approach Life?

A few years ago, I was doing my usual morning reading in Unity’s Daily Word. The reading, focused on having and receiving good, posed the question: How do you approach life? Do you approach life with a thimble, a bucket, or a pipeline? After some thought, which didn’t take long, because I realized that I approach life with a thimble. Not a pleasant thought.

I ask you, How do you approach life? With a thimble, bucket, or pipeline?

Then I remembered something I had read a few years earlier about Oprah. She said something along the lines of “the Bible says God will not give you more than you can handle. That doesn’t only mean all the bad stuff that happens to you. It also includes all the good stuff.”

I don’t know about you, but I hadn’t thought of that particular Bible saying as having anything to do with being able to handle the “good” in my life. Hmmmm

Oprah had also said something about her life and future being so bright it almost hurt her eyes.

I decided I’d better re-examine my thinking.

Could I approach life with a pipeline? Was I ready to receive all the good in my life? Think about it for yourself. Can you approach life with a pipeline in order to receive the good? To tell you the truth, all of that seemed overwhelming; almost more than I could handle.

But I wanted to receive “good”—to not be afraid of it being taken away, or to think that I wasn’t deserving. I wanted to continue growing and changing for the better. I soon learned that all this growing and changing for the better requires courage.

During the past few years, I have tried to be open to receiving good. I admit some times I’ve only been open to receiving a thimble of good, but most often I’ve been open to receiving a bucket full, and occasionally a pipeline.

How about you? Are you open to receiving all the good that God/the Universe/the Infinite/the Source/the Force is offering to you? Are you using a thimble, bucket, or a pipeline.

To Your Courageous Self!
