When you get your eyes examined, a lens is placed in
front of your eye, and the doctor asks you if it’s
“better…or worse?”
(When I was a kid, this always drove me crazy because
it was never that simple, but I suspect they wanted a
simple yes or no!)
Well, in many aspects of life – it IS that simple.
You are all you have – your life, your body, your
happiness.
So try this: take one area of your life that is
important to you – and do experiments.
Experimenting on yourself? Yes. Too bad science class
was not like this.
Take one area of your life, and try something different
for a few days or weeks. Then ask yourself – better?
Or worse?
You can really experience some breakthroughs in your
life by doing this – in just about any area.
You can test this on everything from dairy products
to boyfriends.
It’s a lot more interesting to talk about boyfriends,
so here’s one way you can “experiment.”
Are you afraid that if you don’t initiate contact
with him, that he might think you’re not interested
and you’ll lose him? (I hear this often.)
Well, fear is bad reason for making decisions. But
it’s okay to make SMALL changes and see how it goes. Just
put your little toe in that water. Just try it a LITTLE
bit. Try it for just a week or two.
What you might experience when you see the results is a
greater sense of power. If that happens, it’s very possible
that you have been too quick to contact him – or rush to
the phone when he calls – or return all his messages at
the drop of a hat – because you’re scared of losing him.
What you’ll find out, if you act with confidence, is
that just a small amount of holding back can go a long
way.
If you walk around scared of losing him, you’re walking
into a trap of your own making. However, a little
holding back on your part can put some much-needed
balance back in your relationship.
That’s just one way you can experiment – and your
own creativity will lead you to more ways.

I’ve been in that trap before where I’ve made decisions through fear, and it just resulted in pleasing everyone but myself. What you’ve said here is very true.
I do currently need to make some changes in my life, so I will be trying some ‘experiments’. Thanks for sharing this with everyone! It’s exactly what I needed to hear right now.
