You Are God's Best Idea! Daily Epigram for:
February 8, 2012
"If you want bigger fish to fry, expand your pan."-Douglas
Holzmeier
Today's
epigram was inspired by a joke I heard that goes something like this:
There
were two friends fishing in a boat on a Sunday afternoon.
The
first friend could not help but noticed that the second friend would measure
every fish he caught by spreading his hands about six inches apart- and throw
back the ones that were longer.
After
a couple of hours - Friend #1 asked Friend #2 why he was throwing back all of
the bigger fish.
Friend
#2 replied - spreading his hands slightly apart: "Because my frying pan is
only this wide."
I
love that joke. I love its metaphysical implications even more. How many of us
are limiting our Good by accommodating our abundance with a thimble-sized
Consciousness? I love watching the Food Network. I especially like watching Guy
Fieri's: Diners; Drive-Ins and Dives. It is
extraordinary how many ways there are to making fish sandwiches. The same is true for Hamburgers; BBQ;
French Fries; Biscuits & Gravy; Grilled Cheese; Pizza and Milk-Shakes! These
cooks and chefs are limited only by their imaginations. And the more
imaginative they are - the more customers who love their creations - come to
enjoy them.
There
is an Intelligent Law that does unto us what we believe. How much Good do you
want? It will be determined in great part by how much Good you can embody. We
need a Mental Equivalent. I know I am
mentioning Eli Manning for a third day in a row - but his story is also one of
Mental Equivalent. If Eli would have grown up in a home without the example of
success he saw with his father and brother - he would not have had the Mental
Equivalent of the professional quarterback. Eli does not have the strong arm or
pin-point accuracy of brother Peyton or the swiftness of father Archie. His
skills are not that exceptional - but his belief and faith and real-world
experience - are! He used them to forge a mold large enough to pour two Super
Bowl rings into.
Have
you ever wondered why there are so many actors named Baldwin? Only one is ultra
talented - but the other three brothers had a Mental Equivalent on order to
follow in Alec's imprints. Success knows Success. Like attracts Like. This is
why getting a Mentor or Life Coach is essential. A Navigator - wise counselor
or teacher - a sponsor or supporter - is what almost every person of great
accomplishment has had. You might be surprised how many great golfer's; tennis
player's and boxer's career's dived or went off course after they lost or
changed their caddy; coach or manager. This is true of almost all co-creative
enterprises. Start with your inner Guidance.
It
is okay to buy or borrow another's imagination. Life is a gift exchange. You
don't have to go it alone. One of Napoleon Hill's most imitated success rules
is that of the Master Mind group. Did you ever notice how so many successful
people are connected and intertwined with other similarly successful people?
Birds of a feather flock together. How is the stock of your flock? Because
I have successfully published a book - I know of at least a half dozen friends
who are now writing books that had only been a bit of a fancy heretofore. I am
their Mental Equivalent. And it brings me great joy.
As
I grow and expand - I am finding myself meeting people who are already there -
and are willing to share. They respect the person who put in the extra effort
to get where they already are. If you're looking for respect - you'll find it
along the extra mile.
Today's
Undeniable Life Coach Lesson isn't about buying a large house to store stuff
in. It is about expanding your Consciousness to allow and accept the biggest
and best ideas in and not be bothered by the fact that it may well mean taking
a little extra time to scale and gut the parts that do not serve the greater
good.
You
are no small fry. You're going to need a bigger boat! There is a Panoramic View
on the Starboard. The big fish are inviting. You are Captain Fantastic!
You
Are God's Best Idea!
