Is this as good as it gets
These two words mean more to me each time I take pen to paper and let my customers know how much I appreciate their trust in me.
I’ve scribed these holy words on over 2,700 invoices that go into my customer’s packages since I started my ebay adventure. Each time I write them with a growing awareness and appreciation of what they afford me.
These words are like a song to my ears and food for my soul as they empower my dream and keep it alive.
In the 1997 movie “As Good As It Gets”, Jack Nicholson’s character walks into the Waiting Room of his Psychologist’s office filled to the brim with obsessive compulsive patients waiting their turn to receive instructions on how to make it through another week.
Slowly panning the roomful of nervous patients Nicholson finally blurts out the horrible words each patient strains not to believe,
“Maybe this is as good as it gets!”
The patients look up at him with stunned and panicked resignation as Nicholson’s character abruptly turns and walks out of the Waiting Room, careful not to step on any line or crack.
What true joy wells up inside when you can say to yourself with honesty, “Maybe this is as good as it gets” and feel a torrent of peace and contentment rush through your spirit.
It’s been almost one year now since I said goodbye to what the world defines as comfort and security.
With each passing day my heart and soul are exposed to the reality I felt as a child where risk and security could not be defined and the conscious wonder of life in the present dwarfed all future ambition.
My “Ship of Discovery” travels toward the wonder of life where I can breath in the cool springtime air, smile to myself and say “Thank you” for being alive.
