The "just arrived" mindset

I don’t know where I got this from, but it’s been with me for most of my life. Since I was a kid, I’ve always had this thought: “What if I started living my life today as if I’d just arrived here?”

Whenever I was going through a bad time, just wanted to forget something from my past, or saw someone in a bad situation whose only hope was to start over – I would have that thought.

To my childish and inexperienced mind, it made a lot of sense. If something has gone terribly wrong or beyond hope, throw it out and start over. Not that easy in real life, of course, as I came to learn. But in many ways, it IS doable.

What if YOU were to do just that? Maybe not everything in your life has gone bad and needs to be trashed. But perhaps you need a new beginning in some areas? How about your love life, career, or parenting approach? Your finances, future plans, physical health? What about your marriage, habits, relationship with God? Think about it.

What if you started living your life today as if you’d just gotten here? What if you were to trash what is not working and start over?

It is possible. At SiLC, we see it happen all the time.
