Anand - The Fire within

I'm a walker, not a runner. I like the pace of it, the simplicity. To some people, that sounds slack, like walking is taking the easy way. Not so. Ask me to run three kilometers and I'll struggle. But walk 100k's? Done, no probs. I used to run through life. Fast-paced, ticking boxes, getting stuff done.  Every single day was a chance to do, to achieve. Problem is, a soul can't soak up life at that pace. Now, I walk my life. I want my life to be about the 100 kilometers, not three. I take each step purposefully. I achieve things, just differently. I'm catching up with myself. Letting my soul catch up. Sometimes I yearn to get back to the fast pace. To learn to run the 100. There are so many things I want to do in the days and years ahead of me. Sometimes I think that one day I'll be a force to be reckoned with. Other days I don't know that what I want to be. And so I just keep walking. For now, I'm just walking at a pace my soul can app

Sometimes when you feel like giving up, just listen to that little voice that says, "keep on going"  and you'll be ok.

Look around our surroundings or around you right now – if you were suddenly whisked away from this reality, would you be trying  desperately to hang onto everything around you or just let go of your surroundings and move on? Most people prefer to hang onto the earlier option than the later one. But try to live your life as if you might suddenly be whisked away. I am not saying that it will happen. I am saying to expect the unexpected. Be forewarned that your illusion of daily comfort and routine is just that – illusion. Spirit advises practicing detachment: it is the best way to live during these extraordinary times of rapid change on our beloved planet Earth. When you are willing to experiment and ready to explore the newer avenues or the roads less travelled, our life will be much more interesting.
