Taking action

Taking action helps. Taking action STOPS the freight train of procrastination. Taking action lets me feel and know that I am doing what I need to do. Taking action keeps me in the track.

Today I will continue to take action and grow the life I so desire.

Adventure.

Adventure is a key ingredient in the Juiciness of a heart full of passion. When I stay in an adventuresome being I am able to be more curious. I might suddenly vear off the path, I might be a little erratic, I might race ahead or dawdle along. The course of the adventure is never really known and there are many surprises along the way. I adore playing in the unknown and being startled and teased by the many surprises. 

Sometimes the adventures might even be in LOVE! I adore being able to LOVE as if it was a big adventure!

Today I will play in the Adventure of LOVE and LIFE

& in this world of
yes live

all worlds

I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.

… I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

—— Rainer Maria Rilke

ECSTASY : a state of being beyond reason and self-control

Being beyond reason is foreign, unknown; however, it is not undesirable. Beyond self-control is even more familiar and almost unfathomable. There is no other place that I would rather be than in a state of ecstasy.

Ecstatic and Sexy at the same time could be a lot of fun. That would look like sexy beyond reason and self- control. That might look a little different from all the controls and reason that I typically have in place.

Today I will allow for beyond reason and self-control. Today I will let myself be ecstatic.

AH HA Sexy Passion – Passion is a playmate.

I seem not to be able to rid myself of passion. Passion follows me and is in me wherever I go. Passion moves through my work, my play and my day to day life, as well as my dreams. Living passionately and full-out is not natural to me. I only came to expressing passion and being passionate after finding permission inside of myself.

When you’re at peace with yourself and you love your self, it’s virtually impossible for you to do things to yourself that are destructive.
When you get enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it’s almost impossible for you to be controlled or manipulated by anyone else.
the more you extend kindness to yourself the more it will become your natural response to others
A secret of abundance is to stop focussing on what you do not have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you do have
No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

Wayne Dyer

The idea of living in passion is relatively new to me as a 55 year old man. A few years ago my passion scared me, I did not know how to live with this part of me that seemed so out of control, so huge, so fierce. Today I watch for the fierceness and enjoy the eruption as passion plays out of me.  Today I thrive on the richness and the fulness of expression that passion allows for me.

Today I will surf in the flood of creativity that my passion brings and I will live without limiting that abundance of fresh, new and recurring old. Today I will let the passion flow, erupt, shoot and drizzle.

Today I will be full and playful and enjoy the freedom I feel without limits, living in joyful, blissful passion.

Expanding today.

Each moment I spend contracting and pulling away takes me further away from what I want and how I want to be. Each moment I spend expanding and leaning in I get closer to what and how i want to be.

Being open and engaged helps. Today I will allow and give permission to the inner being, simply letting what is – be at rest and play.

Love – the ever expanding Juicy Heart

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
– Rumi

 I feel at my best when the river is moving in me…

A River of Joy

Today seems full of edgy possibility. All of this possibility is made more abundant by a simple maybe.

Even though there is some edge and some tension on either side of the possibility today, there is always a definitive. That definitive is yes or no, I increase my possibilities when I add a maybe. The yes and no are self explanatory, the maybe is more unfamiliar territory for me. Maybe creates more possibility. Maybe creates more stretch and some edge for me.

I like the possibility that I can find in maybe. I like that maybe opens me to a place of curiosity.

Seeking a vibration that is in sync with the world around me.

I notice today that I am vibrating at a really high frequency. This high frequency is about play and action and motion and dancing. I seem to be out of sync with a world that is dark and gloomy, rainy and foggy. I am breathing to sync the two. I know that if I breath and become more aware of the world around me the sync will actually happen.

Today I will breath deeply and align with the reality of the world around me.

Pink has an energetic resonance with me.

Funny that which I was so ashamed of many years ago can rise up in me to be  such a powerful symbol of strength and energy. The colour pink is to me what I imagine totem figures are to some. I am constantly drawn to how this colour brings a smile to my face, relaxes me, stimulates me. Yes I know those words that just came out are contradictory… there you go. Some things, some external influences can have mysterious powers.

I adore what the colour pink does for me!

Pink PUMPS ME!
Today I will make sure that something that is PINK will be against my skin, reminding me…
