WAKE UP OR MISS YOUR LIFE

ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE FROM HUFFPO BY DR. JUDITH RICH:

AN EXCERPT:

As we know, Scrooge had a dream on Christmas Eve in which some special visitors showed up, gave him a harsh look at his past and a preview of coming attractions.



Through the dream, we saw how Scrooge lived in darkness all his life. Flashbacks of his childhood revealed how lonely he was, with parents who didn't show love and school mates who shunned him. To protect himself, he closed his heart and spent the rest of his days living in the shadow of his own rejection. That is, until those auspicious Christmas Eve visitors arrived and gave him the "This is Your Life" wake up call.

In waking life, we rarely, if ever, see the unfiltered truth. Our beliefs cloud our ability to see what's really so and they ultimately become our truths. But as Carl Jung said, "Dreams are the language of the soul", so we best pay attention to them. And pay attention Scrooge did. He saw the end of the story he'd been living and it wasn't pretty.
