Seems everyone knows this little phrase, and like me, have believed it to be true. If it is true, well, there is nothing we can do about it, right? Where did it come from, anyway? It sounds like one of those beliefs that have been passed down through generations. Whether I heard it from Mom, or Grandma, or a teacher, or made it up - it's obvious to me that it is a cultural and societal and generic truth indoctrinated into my very life! And very possibly - yours!
Note that "it's always somethin'" does not usually show itself in times of celebration! When I hear good news, I don't think "it's always somethin'". The "somethin'" is always negative, something I don't want but always seems to get. Another somethin'.
Is this the belief that runs my life? By believing "it's always somethin'", do I attract exactly that? Is the somethin' directing the drama of my life? Because I also believe that my beliefs create my life, the answer is a big ole "Yep!" Truthfully, I recognized this about the thought "it's always somethin'" a couple years ago and have taken steps to dis-create it. It's a stubborn one, though. Showed up this morning. It helps to yell back at it when it shows up - that's not true! It's a lie! Still, I have more work to do on this one.
This is just one of many cultural, societal, generational beliefs that we all have been living with without awareness. What are some others you might be holding onto? Notice your thoughts. Challenge them - is that true? Really?
I've been writing about a new conversation on a bigger scale, one that's needed as we evolve into a New Beginning. I have this image, though, of everyone going up to everyone and asking them if they believe "it's always somethin'?". Then "Is It True?" And then, "What do you think life would be like if it wasn't?" Maybe, just maybe, the "somethin's" would transform into somethin' quite marvelous!
Keep talking, people! A New Beginning awaits us, and there just isn't any room for the "somethin's".
