Rivers of Life

-
Who is driving your bus, are you being towed by the nose to someplace you don't want to go ?

Where is your river taking you in your life ?
Are you a leaf being pushed around with the forces of the rivers of life  or are you moving to your own energy patterns ?

Are you moving to the beat of your own drum or are you dancing to someone elses tune ?    It is pretty easy to just drift along in life and suddenly you realize that you aren't going anyplace, anytime soon !  Maybe it might take a catastrophic occasion to get you to see it or maybe some small thing will trigger that aha moment when you suddenly "get it" and realize its totally up to you.  One thing is for sure, if you don't set your own course then someone, or something else will decide for you - its a bit like hopping on a bus without checking the destination and then bleating that its not going where you want to go !  How many of us spend time and energy worrying about things that will never happen, or become depressed because we are not getting anywhere but  if you do what you always do, you will get what you always get.

 Just imagine every time you get depressed, or start complaining about  your life  putting  that energy into affirming what you do want.  How much faster will you get there ?  Are you stuck in a rut because you haven't decided where you want to go or be or,  even worse,  haven't even realized you were in  a rut ?


It doesn't take much to change your life, just a few minutes working on what you want, in fact the hardest part is deciding what actually it is that you do want and where you want to be headed in your own river of life.

Passionflower - Symbol of Passion - How to Re-ignite the Spark of Creativity

The beautiful Passionflower, a symbol of passion for living, loving, and zest for the quest of life itself but a re you doing what you want with your life  ?    How do you recapture that zest for life, when the spark has gone and you need to re-ignite it ?  The fastest way I know is to take up something you have a passion for and it will spread across into all areas of your life.  Without a passion your life there is nothing but humdrum, and definitely no leaping up and down with excitement and anticipation of the unknown with expectation instead of dread.   I am biased of course :), but my own preference is for art and creativity but passion can come in many forms, it could be a passion for collecting obscure objects that would drive anyone else nuts, it could be music, gardening, might be trekking by yak over the Himalaya's, Bungy jumping,  analyzing the stock market or a zillion other things but without some passion for something disconte...

How To Create Your Own Reality - The Day of the Baby Pheasant

-
Image
Today I held a day old baby Pheasant in my hands. It was like holding the rhythm of life in my hands - serene and placid in my palms, pulsating with possibilities and when I set it down it took off running like a harrier. It's like setting your reality in motion - you drift about almost stationary until you set a direction or goal to head towards them wham - almost faster than lightening - or a baby pheasant. Re-writing your life script can be like the baby pheasant - alive with possibilities or rowing around in circles. How many circles do you row in ? Not only can you decide which shore you want to head towards - why not grab the paintbrush and whack a bit of paint around ? Drench your page in luscious colors and make your dream life appear faster than a lizard drinking. Slosh on color and think about what it is you really want out of life. At the same time why not ditch the oars and attach a fast motor !
