Life is an unfailing boomerang

The idea that “what goes around comes around” is something most people have heard many times before. Often we associate it with negative experiences or karma, but what if we chose to view it differently? What if the energy, effort, positivity, and action we put into our lives today could return to us in meaningful and rewarding ways? By becoming more intentional with our choices and actions, we can begin creating positive change that not only shapes our future but also shapes who we become along the way.

Looking at life through the boomerang effect

Now when you first read the words of this title, you may say to yourself what is she talking about.

I go on – “What we throw out comes back full circle.”

Again, you may say to yourself that’s a bit obvious. But is it really?

It’s easy to look at the negative sides of life and accept that what goes around comes straight back around.

If your partner leaves you for another person and years later down the line they find themselves lonely, miserable and regretful, then we say to ourselves, “there goes that boomerang.”

Using the boomerang in a positive way

However, I invite you to take a different view of our boomerang.

Yes, we must indeed do unto others as we wish them to do unto us. That means we don’t lie, cheat, scheme or hurt others.

But if that boomerang really applies to our lives, and it does, let us use it in the best possible way, starting from now.

Questions to ask yourself

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Where am I in my life?
• How happy am I?
• What needs to change?

This last question is where our boomerang comes into play.

Making changes in our lives is always the hardest at first, especially where children or money are involved.

Effort and action create change

Effort + Action = Change

Without either, change is just not possible. Now allow this to digest in your head for a while.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.

If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.

You take action, and the universe takes action with you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Choosing the direction of your boomerang

And here lies the treasure of our boomerang.

So when you awake tomorrow, think about where and in what direction you will throw out your boomerang!
