In this week's episode, I got an inside from a song. It hit me and I had to share.
I was listening to a New Orleans station when a song came on, originally done by Harry Barris. And also played by many artist including Bing Crosby but I like the version by Kermit Ruffins, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams.
When skies are cloudy and gray, they're only gray for a day So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through There's only one thing to do Just wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away
Castles may tumble That's fate after all Life's really funny that way No use to grumble Just smile as they fall Weren't you King for a day?
Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain So wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away
So, what is he saying there? You don't have to worry about happens to you. Things will get better if you let it. There are 2 ways to look at any situation.
I mean yes there will be some major events in our life that might seem just too horrendous. But life is not filled with those. Life is filled with many little things that ad up to ruin your day, week, month or life. I have mentioned my attitude about them in the past. Just acknowledge and move on. Don't let the things ruin your day. Don't dwell on things. Let them go. I know it's harder for some things then others, and there are some things that are not in your control. I mean if you wake up and your house burnt down or worse, you just can't acknowledge and move on as I say too. But in time you do the things you need to do to move on. All things have there meaning to you as how the size of the difficulty is. If someone is cutting in and out of traffic and they pass you and yell at you is that going to rewin your day? If someone ask at the grocery store if they can cut in front of you and you say yes because there holding one thing, and their kids with 7 cartloads joins her. You can get mad but just think bad words to your self and move on. That's not you, you're not that person. You can't let those kinds of events change your life. Don't let your brain grow those nasty Nero-pathways in your brain.
We all know that one guy that no mater what you say or do he has nasty negative comment about it. Or you ask him to do some thig he is always to stressed or uses the term "I just don't have time for that" or That's stupid why even try that'? After years of thinking negative or Victim thoughts his brain is wired to think that way. As you think or train your brain it will build Nero-pathways to remember thoughts and emotions and no mater if there good or bad thoughts your brain will make them. that's why I and others tell you to think positive thoughts. You can rewire your brain to be happy.
While we are on the subject of re-wiring your brain, you can do the same thing to become younger. There are many techniques to do this such as something simple as using your non-dominant had. Or changing ways you do things. If you keep telling your self I'm to old for that or I can't. You will be and you won't. Artist and musicians are proof of this. 99% are more youthful and vibrant that "normal People". Look at some of the "old" rockstars you can think of. Look at shaolin monks. There constantly learning and growing their minds.
Its all how you interpret what happens to you. You and be a victim or become victorious. When things happen, just Wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away. Do the things that make you happy and makes you a better person.
