With all this buzz about the end of the world, I am left wondering how many things all the people in my life would suddenly be motivated to do if it were guaranteed to be over, how many things would no longer take priority in their lives and what an opportunity this is to get fear out of the way, break some habits and move toward what matters most to us. From most of the stories I have heard about peoples lives, it usually takes a significant hardship to create the dissatisfaction and motivation that leads to redefining what it is that their lives are all about, I am no exception. What I have come to learn is that, for most people, it takes something extremely challenging to make our pursuit of what is most important to us greater than our fear. It isn’t a fault on anyone, it is a confirmation that we are our own biggest obstacles and by ‘we’ I am specifically referring to ‘our fear’.
Since my big challenge, I have committed to my own path that means focusing on step 1, knowing that the universe will unfold exactly the way it is meant to (trust), detaching from outcome (surrender), removal of judgement, not making decision based on fear and being unconditionally loving, amongst many other things. It is still work every day and what it has lead to is a life with far less fear and much more authenticity and quality; A life that is enriched and focused on gratitude and awareness that every time I hold back, I am only get a fraction of the possibility and experience of any situation.
So, the point of this is to encourage you to:
Share your passion. – Give 100%, no matter what the past has been; Fear doesn’t get to dilute your experience, cause you to withhold, or worse, get you stuck.
Enjoy the journey. – Remember that life is short and there is only one guarantee, so pursue the things which matter most to you, without attachment to outcome.
See the gift. – Know that this moment now is a gift, that is why it is called ‘the present’. (I love you, Terry)
Act now – If you are clear, then act now. Don’t let thinking get in the way of what you are feeling.
Be in the magic. – And most of all, know that anything but love is interfering with you living in the magic.
Wishing you all the best present … full of passion, joy, love and giving.
