When does life really begin? When does what I want begin to happen? When does it get exciting? You may ask all these things and yet, do you not know that they are already happening? Everything is in the works. It’s just a matter of perspective. It’s up to you to choose to look at your life in positive ways. There is a present in every moment, so many gifts in each day. Can’t find them? Look again. The greatest gifts are often the hardest to see, often right before your very eyes, just wrapped in an unusual way!

Are you stuck? Frustrated? Life not treating you fairly? Sometimes the only way to move forward in life is to give up an old dream and dream a new one. Sometimes the best defense is no defense at all, the best plan no plan, the best attack to do nothing for a change and let life form a new dream for you.

Sometimes you just can’t get what you want, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get what you need or what will be best for you. Sometimes being in alignment with life means letting go to it completely and letting it take you on an adventure, like a leaf falling through the air, going where the wind takes it, happy to be riding the great energy of life, ready for anything. Maybe it’s time for that dream?

Meditate daily. Sit as still as a mountain, as calm as the clear blue sky, as deep as the ocean and let a few minutes pass as you hold yourself in this state of stillness and rest. Carve out sacred time in your day, a moment of serenity here and there, and let the mind and body come together, one energy attuned only to you. It is the first step toward self-realization. Relax and give it a whirl. You might just enjoy it!

Rather than scold yourself for being stuck or slow to progress along your path of growth and evolution take where you are right now as a most valuable step along the way. Study how you got there and why. What keeps you there, and for whom? Are you really stuck or are you there because you need to be?

Sometimes what you have been telling yourself is the wrong thing. Tell yourself something different and see what happens. In saying the opposite of your usual inner chatter, in turning it on its head, you might find that you are not in a bad place at all but in the best possible place for this moment, and you might find that you are no longer stuck but moving right along in a new direction, taking the next natural step on your fascinating journey of change. Sometimes it isn’t what you think that matters but how you choose to think about it!

The Middle Way is never a straight and narrow path but one that loops and weaves, for sometimes the spirit leads and sometimes the body takes over, each wanting their own adventures. Then again, sometimes they travel together as one being and it is at such times that much progress is made. However, for the most part, being part spirit and part human naturally presents a constant dilemma. Find balance by asking the two parts of the self, the opposites within, to share the journey responsibly, especially at dawn and at twilight, the opposites without, when the most promises and decisions are made. It may take some work to get these opposites into alignment and back on the proverbial path of progress, but such opportunity knocks every day, at least twice! Remember this as you watch the sun’s rising and setting each day, spirit and body hand in hand, taking another step on the winding path of life.
