Clinging on by a fingernail

IMG_8460

Sometimes in life, we can get pushed back towards the edge of the precipice and we keep stepping back. It becomes a habit and our energy gets drained. It becomes a spiral.

We get to the edge and we think ‘that’s it’ and we slip over the edge and into the ‘abyss’ we go.

However, we manage to grab the edge and cling on by a fingernail.

Life has its tough moments and we feel like there is no option sometimes and the urge is to let go and give in.

Often though this very moment is where we find the something, that will, an urge to fight.

Some of the most magical, greatest and fulfilling moments and creations that people have enjoyed have come from these moments of hardship and sometimes despair.

It is the true test of our commitment to realise our dreams and ambitions.

The easy option and long-term far less rewarding or meaningful is to keep letting go and giving in at tough moments.

Cling on and rise strong from our falls.

Never stop daydreaming

‘Stop daydreaming and pay attention’ is something that we have all heard, especially when we were a child at school.

The fact is the world would be a much better place if we all daydreamed regularly, essential for children and as adults too.

Daydreaming is a happy place, where we suspend our normal daily environment and often fantasise, imagine ambitions becoming reality, visions of our own personal success. It’s where the mind can wander and be free to dare, to create, to allow magic into our lives.

If we are to remain open, excited, expectant about our own future, happy and full of life, we must detach ourselves from the world and dream.

It’s essential to our wellbeing to believe in good things coming to us in the future.

Paying attention to what? Paying attention to the message of compliance from the system or dreaming of our own success and retaining idealism, naivety and hope.
