Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Father Brian D鈥橝rcy, a Catholic Passionist priest:

An encouraging listener sent me a short note after last Monday鈥檚 PFT.

鈥淗ere鈥檚 what I heard you say to me,鈥� she wrote. 鈥業t鈥檚 brilliant when you realise this a brand new day with no mistakes in yet.鈥� Thanks.鈥�

I didn鈥檛 say it as well as she did, but that鈥檚 what I meant. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Here鈥檚 another way of looking at it. Did anyone ever ask you 鈥榃hat鈥檚 right with you?鈥� But I鈥檒l bet thousands have asked you 鈥榃hat鈥檚 wrong with you?鈥� Yet those two questions evoke totally different reactions. One motivates you and the other doesn鈥檛. One gives you energy, the other flattens you.

I see it when I鈥檓 with young adults and, even more so, with struggling sports people. You can cause a mental block in a boxer鈥檚 head by saying-: 鈥淵our jab is way too slow.鈥� But if a trainer says 鈥撯�淟et鈥檚 see how we can get that great jab you have to travel twice as fast,鈥� he鈥檒l have a point scoring machine in a week.

Catch people doing something right and praise them and you鈥檒l convince them that there are no wrong turns on the road of life, just unexpected paths to explore.

Philosophers say we don鈥檛 get to choose how we鈥檙e going to die. You can only decide how you鈥檙e going to live now.

There鈥檚 a legend in Australia that one group of Aborigines was able to make rain with their mystical dancing. When a neighbouring community was suffering from a never-ending drought, they pleaded with the group to help. The rainmakers willingly obliged.

When their dancing was over, the rains came. The leader went to the dancers to thank them and he asked 鈥淲hy is it that every time you dance it rains?鈥� The chief replied, 鈥淚t鈥檚 very simple. We dance until it rains.鈥�

The principle is clear then. Shine a light on what is good and keep on doing it.

It鈥檚 in the Bible. 鈥淒on鈥檛 grow weary of doing good鈥� you鈥檒l reap the harvest when the time is right.鈥� (Gal 6:9)
