WHITE RABBIT!

life lessons Jul 01, 2019

The 1st of the month...and another new month.

'Change' is a dead cert 'they' say, but I beg to differ. In this memory, nothing has changed.

One of my early childhood memories was when we 'the cousins', were staying over at Ma and Pa's. (grandmother and grandfather in South Africa)

On the 1st day of the month we would be woken up with, "White Rabbit!...good morning girls", and the chorus that followed was, "White Rabbit, morning Ma".   

Good, a feeling of relief.  We all said 'White Rabbit' before we had said another word.

The myth  was that saying 'White Rabbit' first thing on the 1st day of each month meant that a 'lucky' month lies ahead.

Now , more than 60 years later, you will still hear this family practice of 'White Rabbit', ring out at some odd hour after midnight on the 1st, in my bedroom and bedrooms  across continents, by my children and grandchildren, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews,  and friends have joined the custom - and hopefully 'luck' has blessed those who follow the tradition.

Isn't luck something nice that happens unexpectedly  and undeservedly?    

God knows, we can all do with a bit of luck in our lives, but regrettably we cannot live happy, successful lives on 'luck'. It requires much more than that, and we actually do know that... but still hope for that bit of luck.

To live that elusive happy successful life - for most, means we must know what we want, and to know that we must know ourselves and thus be able to 'master' ourselves.

Is that even possible? Does it even enter our heads that we can attain mastery over ourselves?

With a bit of work it needn't be such a big deal.

Self-Mastery is attainable,  by starting in small simple steps in mastering the triune beings that we are; body, mind, and soul - and yes, all of us, anything less would render us less - less than whole. We must know ourselves to love ourselves so we can just be ourselves.

The Point?

Socrates said,  "to know thyself is the beginning of wisdom".

You can start this process of mastering yourself in my 3-module online program 'Introduction to Self-Mastery',
