I just read Olivia Newton Johns’ book Don’t Stop Believin’.
She has an incredible life. If there is a key to an awesome life, she holds it. That key goes beyond the talent and good looks she possesses. What came through her story is she always says YES to life. Whatever comes her way, she embraces it, never resists what is.
She is Zen!
Many of us are selectively open to some things in life, but actively resist most everything else. Resistance causes a lot of suffering. Resisting what is, is a sure way to get more of it!
Embracing life means you’ll get more life.
Simple. Profound. And so hard to do.
Now you know how I feel about people going off to woo woo land and unfortunately that is where Olivia is now, but it works for her and she is happy.
All I take from her book is to be more open to life, and say YES to it whenever I can, embrace what is now and stop resisting what is.
