As I sit and partake in a pitstop of one of my Daughter's and my new obsessions; it is a bowl of spoonfed goodness oddly enough the establishment is named Soul Bowls. And that it is. As I am trying out for me a new delight that my Daughter highly recommended and implored that I had to try. Deliciously enthralled, I am reading someone's post (@randallswise) who always inspires me and ignites within me as if he jump starts my battery, to channel my better self. This morning he posted a quote by Tony Robbins, "where focus goes, energy flows." He wrote of recalling vividly being fully present, loving this moment in time. He challenged by asking the simple question, "where do your thoughts go?" "Are you focused on what you have or on what's missing?" He said if you are focused on what's missing you'll never find happiness and joy in life. He left it with a challenge to all of us reading and following to please share in the comments how you'll focus this weekend,how we will better appreciate what we
have. Simplicity had never rang more true. I write of this earnestly attesting to this great phenomenon but I drank it in as if I had heard it for the first time. For each day finds me with new circumstances and life moments which I find delightful. Otherwise this life would be found weighty and humdrum. Boring.
As I sat upon my bike I felt supercharged as if I had been overhauled both mind and body. My Spirit was on fire as I peddled back towards Home. I found clarity as I focused where I desired my energy to flow and found an imagery in my own life situation at hand. I was surged with enthusiasm to not only get back to my task at hand of organizing but relating it to my life where I likened my what earlier was perceived as unsurmountable piles of havoc. Realizing how in Life we get distracted and often times overcome by all our life moments, and before we know it our focus somehow shifted as if mesmerized by a magician we were entranced as if hyptmotized only seeing a mirage. Life Clutter. When I left my organizing, I was dispondent for my focus was on the misplaced items, you know the things that did not belong where they were or what I did not have in order. Where treasures once were showcased all I felt was smothered by the disorderly way these spaces were filled. Sensing now how I was jumbled, I quickly stopped my bike and I asked Siri to define clutter. Smiling as I read its definement as unwanted echos that interfere with the obervation of signals on a radar screen.
Wonderment fills my being as I unveil the power of passion in the gift of Focus. To channel that energy in such a manner that is appreciative of even the situations that are currently out of place. I have that Friday Feeling that finds me full of vigor keeping perspective in it's rightful place enchanted by this moment that engulfs me. Stop and own your Life. Know where your place is, of exactly who you are and all that you are meant to be. Not distracted thus forgetting all that only you embody losing your thunder you were created to roar. Last night my Daughter called for some things to bring to her at her Dad's. Timing was terrible as I was crosseyed knee deep in disarray, paralized by all my attempts to rectify and bring order it seemed as if my actions had made things worse. However, I chose to embrace her distraction if for nothing else to run away from my situation at hand. I gathered up her items skillfully, mindfully as if I had nothing else on tap. As I handed her the things she requested, I smiled knowing full well I had fueled it with my heart and soul putting all I had within those moments. Alas my reward was when she looked at her niece smiling, proud as she inhaled her requested blanket that I had freshly lavished with her favorite linen spray and held it out inviting her to draw in it's beauty. Think not it a waste to embrace these moments that seem to be taking you opposite of your Dreams. Life is meant to be lived fully, deeply and entirely. This is The Wonderment of Life. xoxo
