Look for, enjoy and appreciate life’s magic. It is everywhere. In how you move your hand, with precision, to pick up a cashew and place it in your mouth. Think how amazing that truly is.
Or that your heart beats in perfect time, even when you are asleep. And you don’t have to even think about it!
How a cut heals is also quite incredible when you observe it closely over several days.
Recognise all of life’s magic, gaze in wonder and be grateful you’re involved.
It can be simple. Just you and nature. Au naturel. Or you can add swimsuits, SeaDoos, picnics, noodles, diving board, slide, and a boat. Just like in life, you can always add more. Yet, when is enough, enough? Appreciate the simple things and you’ll love what you have.
Do try to keep up!! Even when you’re resting, it’s moving at incredible speed. Take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and get back in there!
Have elements of your life gotten away from you? Well now that you are aware, what are you going to do about it? You can get the old you back or create a new you. Just don’t let life pass you by while you decide what to do.
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of tabs open, unread emails, text messages requiring my attention and WhatsApp groups that I’ve not been active in for a year.
Between now and the end of August, I’m going to tidy this all up again. Unsubscribe to emails, leave WhatsApp groups, delete emails, and close all tabs in safari and chrome. Spare time will be spent pruning.
There is a lot of fun to be had but there are times that aren’t as wonderful. You have to be resilient and get through those. And really enjoy the fun and games as often as you can!
There is a time for everything in life. A time for being an infant, teen, mid-lifer, and retiree. Your body and mind will be different in those phases.
People will react to you differently. Learn about the pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses of each stage in life and then maximise the opportunity in each.
New experiences, perspectives and timing can shift people’s philosophy and world outlook. Life is dynamic and therefore you can hold one thought on Tuesday and a polar opposite view as well, later in the week. It’s natural and should be allowed graciously.
In the moment, some things feel gigantic and overwhelming. Though, often five years later, they seem rather small or normal. Life goes on.
We need to embrace this concept, not to scare us into paralysis but to help us release our drive and some sense of urgency that this game is finite.
