February 24, 2021 – JOLT – Expecting the Unexpected? Pray That You’ll Get It!

If you’re anyone like me. . .

you attempt, at some level, to control life.

And, of course, in its basic survival sense, that’s understandable and even necessary for our mental, emotional and physical well being.

Yet, if we jump to the other major dimension of our lives — the spiritual — too much of that good thing for survival can be a bad thing for our development.

Have you ever had something favorable occur in your life that’s so outside of your current reality that you can’t help but be present to a new possibility for living and, perhaps, even a new concept of yourself?

Many of us have, and we can name them. But most of us don’t invite them.

The controlling interest our ego has in determining our best path forward (aka, safest), what’s right  for us (aka, comfortable), and how everything should go according to our plans (aka, what we “know”) doesn’t leave much room for turns of events or new situations that cause us to grow (aka, risky, challenging, unknown) and become more of who we CAN be.

So, if you want to pray for something radical today, have it be for something to occur that knocks your socks off and opens you up to what’s really possible for you and a totally upleveled self concept.

Once you get a taste of your unexpected prayers being answered, you’ll become like Pavlov’s dog, salivating at the new you awaiting you every day.

Think differently, play better.

Radically,
