What do they have in common?
Love Island and Ukraine
The problems we experience in our lives are the result of the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances.
Let’s use the title of this blog as an example.
Preening celebrity wannabes struggling to come to terms with their impending sponsorship fortunes, versus people who can’t even go shopping without being blown to smithereens.
Whatever your take on the war in Ukraine, (or reality TV shows for that matter), we get what we think, and we use what is around us in our environment, as the gauge for context.
But it’s the stories that we tell ourselves about where we are, that give us our experience.
I once heard that, statistically, the happiest time in history was measured as being in London during World War 2. Those who stayed had a camaraderie and love of life akin to being totally present for their final days and enjoying every moment - literally as if it was their last.
Makes sense. Even if this was in a war zone.
There is a marked difference in the levels of morale between the
young Russian soldiers told to go and fight in a neighboring country and the myriad of heroes who have stayed to defend their homeland stating: “We will live and we will die here, but we will not leave" (no wonder it’s not going to plan, Vlad).
We all have situations and circumstances that bring new problems to light (like the 6.5 hours I spent in A&E over the weekend trying to sort my dodgy heart out!).
But it’s up to us what we do with them: Complain? Moan? React? Accept? Change? Inspire? The choice… as the saying goes… is yours.
Liberating, when you think about it (even with a dicky heart!).
Have a great week, learn heaps, love loads, and then pass it on.
