Just the journey

I meet so many extraordinary people that are in search of greater meaning and purpose. They have an inkling of what they want to achieve but become stalled with getting started. As I reflect on my life, specifically the past 7 years, I have experienced the greatest journey, passion, purpose and love. Every opportunity for growth was a result of embracing all of my discomfort as my greatest teachers. 

What if we all started to live our lives through a different lens? One where we approach the journey as the end point. How would you embrace all of the people, circumstances, teachings and gifts around you? Would you be able to find greater peace and happiness knowing in your heart that you have already achieved that which you were only pursuing?  The key is to replace your state of wanting with a mindset of knowing.  

Life is a brilliant canvass for our lives. We all have an ability to create a masterpiece. We can choose the scene, colour and feel of our lives. We can decide how we want to live, who we want to love, where we allocate our energy and how we wish to be. We choose the brush, we create the strokes and connect the dots. We can breathe in and out with the gifts of our lungs and we can see all of the beauty that surrounds us everyday with the gifts of our eyes. We can run to the things we want most with the gifts of our legs and we can embrace the ones we love with our beating hearts. We are alive now, here and in this moment. We are all destined for something so great. We all have been given the opportunity to celebrate our wondrous journey.
