Recently, I filmed some large birds circling above me looking for their prey. It was a very Zen moment watching them hunt as they circled above. I felt their energy.

Next thing I know I began to sing a tune in my head which I later turned into a song.

Here is the chorus:

Sometimes shit happens which is just a circumstance. These circumstances are neutral in that they are neither good nor bad. It’s just a fact. It happened, whatever “it” is. The Universe sees it as neutral.

The difference between a good or bad experience is how we embrace the thoughts triggered by the circumstance. It’s how you choose to think about it.

It is what it was.

You don’t have to honor the same old thoughts. Right now you can choose a new thought about it.

Let me ask you:

I’m becoming a big fan of appreciation.

I dig my experiences. Both the good and the bad.

I appreciate the failures I’ve had and the lessons I’ve learned.

The truth is your experiences shape who you are now.
