FREEDOM AND NO REGRETS
Happy 4th of July Weekend! At the beginning of July I’ve always had this feeling of making a fresh start or new beginning - like we are on the threshold of something greater. Maybe I feel like this because it is my birth month and our birthday’s are like our own new year’s eve or maybe because we’re exactly halfway through the year. I’m not sure really. I just know that I intuitively want to think about the choices I’m making. I use this time to face my fears and celebrate my accomplishments. In the Alchemist it says “It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the master work. Now, I'm beginning what I could have started ten years ago. But I'm happy at least that I didn't wait twenty years.” The important part is to begin again, just get started and take a small step. None of us are being asked to jump off a cliff, this is a practice of millimeters that eventually builds quiet momentum.
As you breath and enjoy this holiday weekend make time to set an expectation for your life this next half of the year. Are you on the right path so far? And whatever you decide just know we are all evolving in the direction of happiness. It is our right. Freedom and the pursuit of happiness is your destiny! It is like what’s written in the Alchemist, “Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.” And when you need time to reflect on where you’ve been and where you want to go join me on the mat where you’ll always discover you have the power, the heart and the energy to achieve anything you want! Love the day, love your life! Silvia
