The memories that you have are a very big part of your existence. It defines you, it defines the world around you. Without that memory, you could go into anyone's house and claim it to be yours and make people very upset.
"This is mine, my suit". "This is me", is part of your memory. So, why am I talking about memory then? Because curiously enough you have some control over your memory. You can make them pleasant, or you can make them unpleasant.
So far, so good? Since you shook your head 'yes', that begs a question. And the question is, do you try to make your memories pleasant?
Because you're going to store lots of your memories. And no matter what you have been through in your life your memories were there.
So you can have some control over good memories, beautiful memories. Not all your memories are going to be good. You're going to have bad memories. You're going to have terrible memories.
Because you can't change the world through your memories. Only yourself. In fact, memories are an incredible way to make your life incredibly pleasant.
You have to learn then, the art of that which is not good, to wash it away, let time take it, and all that is good, that is pleasant, that is right, that is wonderful, keep it.
Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it. What do you think of that? So what's the problem?
What's the problem? Are we done? Ah! It's going to require for you to be incredibly conscious. So things do not unfold randomly, but unfold the way you want them to unfold.
You have to understand, you cannot control the airlines. And you cannot control the captain. And you cannot control the refuelling truck. And you cannot control the baggage handlers. And you cannot control the boarding agent.
But you can control how you feel. Even in the face of adversity what do you want to feel? Because if you feel good...And I will get to that, what good is.
It depends on what you deploy. If you deploy just your logic, just your logic then, "What the... in the world is the matter with this airline?
They're taking my money, and wasting my time. My money, and my time, they're wasting it.
And I deserve better than that." But if you deploy kindness, if you deploy joy, if you deploy this whole premise of being conscious, "Just get me there."
"Two hours late? Great." "We can't take off because of the weather."
"Thank you.
Because I don't have a death-wish." "Fine." I would rather have a pilot who goes, "Can't be done."
Than, "Let's do it." So if you deploy in your life kindness, and your memory is of that kindness...
See where I'm going with that? You're going to have something incredible to remember, to identify with, to think about again, and again, and again, and again.
