I recently interviewed Ned Kraft, coach, author, musician and all around renaissance man. His material has such simplicity, but profound wisdom.
In my interview with Ned about his new CD entitled, ” You’re Missing Out…and It’s OK“, we discuss the benefits of missing out, such as less clutter and simplicity. Getting rid of the regret and resentments and learning how to enjoy the beauty of the moment. So many of us are spending so much of our time thinking about what might happen in the future or living in the past wishing we would have made a different decision. As Ned says, our decisions do shape our lives, but we should not lament over our decisions after we make them. They are over and done with, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Ned reminds us during his instructional CD that “You’re Missing Out…and It’s OK“. As a matter of fact we are missing out on just about everything in life. There is no way we are going to experience the events of the world. Everyday events are happening all around us that we have no control over. Ned refers to this syndrome as, “our battle with what is”. I have often heard that we are “spiritual beings” having a “human experience”. That might be true, but I know for many of us we feel like we are “human beings” having a “spiritual experience”. Either way if you listen to Ned’s wisdom and advice about our battle with what is, it is wonderful advice.
Don’t sweat over the small stuff, it is all small stuff. Try to stay in the moment, stay out of judgment of yourself and others, and enjoy the journey. Ned mentions that we are all receiving clues in the moment, and we need to be aware of the clues. Just listen and observe and you will notice the thousands of clues that are available to you daily.
We have an opportunity in this interview to explore our states of victim hood. Let’s face it, during the course of our life we have all been victims. It is not the fact that we have been victims, it is what we have learned from our transgressions that will help us to over come these states of victim hood. If we can elevate our awareness of how and why we are reacting to these situations we can become masters of our emotions.
