Life is a banquet

The life we live is based on the choices we make. Thinking back to a trip to Chicago, I don't think there was one aspect of it that I would have changed. Because of frequent flyer miles that were about to expire, I was able to secure a first class ticket at no cost. A mix up in hotel reservations resulted in being assigned to a room overlooking the river with spectacular views. The hotel was within walking distance of the architectural boat tour showcasing the beauty of the city on a sunny afternoon when the original forecast was for rain. In each case I could have chosen to focus on some negative aspect of the experience. By only choosing to see what was positive, that is what brought about a memorable trip. This is only one example of how our lives are meant to be. There are so many people who choose to look at what they are missing or deprived of in life. When we choose this approach, we attract more of what is lacking to reinforce that belief. Which would you rather partake of in your life - a banquet or an empty table? For many years I chose the empty table until I decided that there had to be more in life and there is. Once I made the conscious decision to view life differently, life began to change for me. It continues to be better and better. Am I unique? No more so than anyone else on this planet. What does your table look like today?
