Reflections on Great Vacations

Do you remember a time in your life when you enjoyed a great vacation? Think about where you went and who was with you. What did you enjoy most about that trip? Would you say taking this vacation made a noticeable difference in your life? Was your life a little richer, more satisfying and complete than it would have been without that experience? I suspect your answer to the last 2 questions was yes.

Now notice at what point did this vacation begin to improve your quality of life. Was it after you returned home from the trip? Was it during the trip, or when you first departed home to take this vacation? My hunch is if you look closely and remember clearly, it happened before that.

When did you first make the decision to go on this vacation? And after you made this choice, what did you do first to begin making it happen. Invite someone else to come along? Call a travel agent or an airline to research fares? Whatever it was, the moment you took the first action to make this choice happen is probably the moment this choice began to have a positive impact on your life. You improved your life by making a powerful choice, then noticing what there was to do next to make it happen and doing it. There is a lesson here for those of us who will learn it.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Why?  Because the teacher is always present. The teacher is not me or any other individual on the planet. The teacher is life, and life teaches us all we need to know. We just have to pause, reflect and notice.
