My Dishwasher in on the Fritz, Time for Gratitude!
by: Mike Garrett
Last night, as the evening settled into stillness, I ventured into the kitchen to tackle the final item on my to-do list: loading a detergent pod and starting the dishwasher. I always prefer to save this task for the end of the day, gathering up all the stray dishes to ensure I greet the morning with a spotless kitchen.
Typically, this chore takes mere seconds—a simple press of the start button and a gentle closing of the door. It’s an act I usually perform on autopilot, my mind already flitting to the next task. But this night diverged from the routine. As I moved to close the door, my attention was caught by the display screen, now flashing an unfamiliar sequence of digits I had never seen before.
An Unfamiliar Display
“E:20” flashed with impudence on the dishwasher’s display. An error, undoubtedly, and a stubborn one at that. My attempts to reset the appliance—mashing buttons and holding the start for several seconds—proved futile. The error remained unshaken. A repairman would need to be called, and my to-do list grew by one new, final task: handwashing the mountain of dishes trapped within the defunct machine. Given the slow grind of appliance repair these days, manual dishwashing would become my new norm for the foreseeable future.
Grounds to Spin Negative
Before my self-help revolution, this would have been a monumental inconvenience. Pre-revolution Mike would have been irate, broadcasting his frustration to everyone in the house and stewing over the delay and the expense of repairs. Such an incident would have fueled a storm of negativity, adding to the dark mojoe that once clouded my perspective. My reaction would have been one of resentment, feeling cursed by the Universe for yet another obstacle thrown into my already busy life.
The Fancy Pessimist
I used to call myself a realist with a pessimistic tilt, which was just a fancy way of admitting to being a pessimist. My world was shaded by a dark filter through which every experience passed. This pessimism was deeply ingrained, a part of my mental programming since childhood. However, through my revolution for life mastery, I embarked on a journey to reprogram this mindset. The Universe guided me to rewire my brain from default negativity to innate optimism. I became the master of my experience, reprogramming my consciousness to spin positive by default—a core practice in the Volume #1 activities of the Spin Positive Master Series.

A Positive Mindset Sets the Tone
Thanks to this transformation, I approached the dishwasher malfunction with a calm curiosity rather than frustration. My new default reaction to unexpected events is to seek the lesson the Universe presents. Instead of cursing the inconvenience, I pondered what I could learn from this experience. Was it a lesson in patience, a reminder to stay positive, or perhaps something more profound? I intend to meditate on this in the coming days.
In the immediate term, I chose to create positive light mojoe rather than succumbing to negativity. Instead of grumbling about the extra half-hour of dishwashing, I expressed gratitude for my blessings—a loving family, a safe home, and even the dishwasher itself, despite its current failure. I turned on some music from an old favorite album and danced through the chore, transforming it into a moment of joy.
Final Thoughts
We have the power to choose our reactions and, in turn, shape our experiences. With my newfound perspective, I handled this setback positively and knew I could apply these skills to any challenge. I’m grateful every day for the enlightenment that allowed me to master my experience. Now, I’d love to share this wisdom with you.
