Wandering through the park, looking up at the trees, feeling blessed to be breathing in fresh air. It’s the little things in life that make it so much sweeter but it’s all so often overlooked. Why?
The 9-5 grind culture has everyone moving 100mph. Always in a rush, minds racing while trying to just live. It’s wild! Almost like our essence has been stripped away to be a cog in a wheel…
I’ve always been someone who’s gone against the grain. The “look here, not there” observer who doesn’t buy into the mainstream. It’s put me into some weird situations and has also allowed me to flow through them to find the goodness in life. That’s what I think is missing – being OK with veering off path, PLAYing with life to find purpose.
Recently, my minds taken me out of my element. And letting it get the best of me brought me into a place of lack. I’m learning through the situations that life isn’t linear – it’s a mix of ups and downs. The rollercoaster of life put me in some weird spots yet I’ve risen out of each place and couldn’t be more proud.
Thinking back to my old habits and seeing the “new” me integrate everything has been the biggest blessing. This current transformation of a lifetime has set me up to come out of a psychosis that left me from being frozen to taking more action in my everyday. From sitting around wondering “what if” to doing things without any expectations other than just wanting to BE. It’s brought me back to the PLAY that I’ve been longing for; the sense of purpose that doesn’t need to make any sense other than feeling right in that moment.
Feeling all my feelings has made me realize that I’m happy to be a cog in a wheel… as long as my internal clocks rightly tuned. Dancing to my own beat, moving at the pace that allows me freedom. It’s all a balance that takes time to figure out and through play, through enjoying the outdoors, through sharing experiences, it all (life) gets more sweet. That’s all I’m looking for and that’s all I’m after – play for purpose and figuring it out as I do.
