I Need Happy

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Upon reflection we see many things that we could have done better; however, although we know this to be true we don't take any notice of the message it brings. Upon reflection implies that in time after an event you can see a better course of action. Why? Because we were more detached from the anguish than that moment had brought us. If only we could introduce that calmness at the time of the torment. Of course that would be a golden quality should we possess it. But it isn't beyond our reach. We first need to see the advantages of possessing this quality and then make a goal to climb in small steps to achieve it. Intuition is another sense we often pay no attention to. This sense brings us information that we later regret ignoring. The work here is not to establish a step by step plan to establish a goal, but to let go of other influences that take us away from the guidance our intuition is bringing us. Today's story draws a parallel with intuition, some guidance is offered and the listener pays no heed to. THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER They tell the story of a mountain climber who, desperate to conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years of preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself; therefore, he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later, and later. He did not prepare for camping, but decided to keep on going. Soon it got dark. Night fell with heaviness at a very high altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling... and in those anguishing moment's good and bad memories passed through his mind. He thought certainly he would die. But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes! Like any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness, suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout: "HELP ME GOD. HELP ME!" All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven... "What do you want me to do?" "SAVE ME." "Do you REALLY think that I can save you?" "OF COURSE MY GOD." "Then cut the rope that is holding you up." There was another moment of silence and stillness. The man just held tighter to the rope. The rescue team says that the next day they found a frozen mountain climber hanging strongly to a rope... TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND.
