TODAY'S INSPIRATION:
“Why would you take the benefit of an increase in salary and turn it into a detriment?”
- Brook Hales
The Universal Benefit Pattern
I was participating in a routine meeting when one statement changed everything.
“Why would you take the benefit of an increase in salary and turn it into a detriment?” Brook Hales asked.
His simple question began to turn over and over in my head. And, I had no way of knowing how it would become a guide and muse for my life within the coming years. It has affected me in every area of my life and regularly causes me to ask, “Am I using my money, time and experience for beneficial use? Am I seeing and following the Universal Benefit Pattern?”
I call it the Universal Benefit Pattern because it is the way our universe functions as well as a pattern of living. Using it as a guiding philosophy will result a more peaceful and optimistic life. Stated simply as a question it is: How can I use this experience to benefit me?
This question is powerful when asked on a regular basis. And, I’ve found it most enlightening during times of stress and trouble. Using this question during, as well as throughout the aftermath of, the economic chaos that began ten years ago completely changed my view of life and its purpose.
Asking the Universal Benefit Pattern Question during severe stress reveals the universe as a place of perfect order and everything that happens here serves and educates you and me. There is purpose and meaning in everything and everything happens for you and me, not to you and me.
Accepting this new belief option by choosing to believe that every experience is in your life for a reason, and the purpose is always to benefit you, even though it’s still very hard, completely changes the experience. At the very least, it changes what you’re looking for.
What have you been focusing on during the past then years? What lessons have you learned? How have those lessons changed you? How have you benefited?
Seeing challenge and change as a pattern can be tricky because most are naturally and easily focused on fighting against struggle and instability. Knowing that this is a beneficial universal pattern, that you can choose to see and follow, will naturally allow you to focus on the benefits and not the struggle.
When I say naturally, I mean that it will begin to give you an “ah-ha” moment. It will still take a lot of practice before it becomes a powerful routine.
Yes. There is power in routine! I was in a routine, “just another meeting,” when Brook Hales opened my mind to the power of the Universal Benefit Pattern!
