So I know some of you like to wake up to a soothing cup of java in the morning, a little "pick me up" to get the wheels turning. Well, for a real turbo charged blast off, let me recommend a frightened mouse scurrying around your kitchen. Could you hear my screams all over the planet?
Once, the mouse vanished down its favorite escape hatch, I decided to examine the situation. I remembered an experience in my London flat in 1972, where a bird flew into our window. Again, my girlie roommates and I were screaming, jumping behind the couch in a total panic. What is so interesting is the fact that I have had a life long love of birds. I have 4 of them now flying around my house. The key difference is they are completely mellow.
The moral to this story is the possibility that fear spreads faster than a wild fire. If I had seen this morning's mouse tucked away, sleeping in someone's hand, I'd probably want to pet it. The fear in the trapped bird and the tiny mouse is what got me screaming and acting like a lunatic.
Fear might just infect human to human relationships, as well. Just in case, it is probably best to surround ourselves with upbeat, confident folks and hopefully their positive energy will launch our own confident, upbeat path in this world.
