The power of intention or coincidence…again?
I wondered whether to let you see my convoluted thinking, but what the heck, here it is.
This summer we’ve had a lot of daddy-long-legs (a type of spider) in the bathroom. Who knows why; maybe there was a nest in the laundry conduits.
I used to have major spider phobia and though I’m no longer as bad, I still find that they give me the creeps and I’d rather not share my indoor space with one.
I found a good way to get rid of them without having to kill them: I give them a ride outside on the bristle end of a broom.
Getting them to climb on the broom hasn’t always been easy. The spiders run for their lives, until they are cornered and then have to walk on the broom.
It’s been taking too long and out of desparation (killing them also gives me the creeps, and I prefer not to kill anyway if I can avoid it), I’ve taken to talking with them lately: “I’m not going to kill you; just get on the broom and you’ll be safe.” And wouldn’t you know it, as soon as I say this, they hop on the bristles!
Hum…a few coincidences in a row.
Well the last couple of times I talked to them before extending the broom out and they didn’t run away but climbed on their ride pronto; a few seconds and we were done!
Wow; serial coincidences!
So why am I taking your time to tell you this?
Maybe the spider behavior is a coincidence that keeps happening, and maybe not. But it most certainly reminds me of the power of stating our intentions and directing goodwill at another person.
Dr. Srikumar Rao, a popular professor at some of the best business schools in the world, gives an exercise to students of his Personal Mastery course, asking them to silently direct goodwill to others as they interact with them during the day.
Many students have reported that this exercise has dramatically changed the quality of their relationships.
Remember, these weren’t new agers, coaches, or energy healers. They were business school students bent on climbing to the top of the establishment ladder.
Wish they had that course when I took my MBA!!
