The secret life in our heads

IMG_7602

We all have this secret life in our heads.

Uh oh, maybe it’s just me.

It is where we often imagine how we might like to be and pretend that is how we are inside our heads.

It’s a fantasy life.

Living a real one takes practice and that is all we need to do, one step at a time, practice building our real life based on the one that we live out in our head.

It is just learning the habit of taking one almost unnoticeable step, after another, in the direction of our dream life day-by-day.

What will hold us back is making the steps too big and too complicated.

Unexpected destinations

Sure it is good to have a plan, say from A to B. But beware the peddlers of certainty, life happens at the edge of the circle where risk and uncertainty are.

The best things in life can not be found on a pre-planned straight line from one point to another.

Yes, we need to have a vision of where we want to go. Too rigid a plan can stifle the real magic of life.

What we need is something to act as the catalyst to start

Then the riskier, more exciting route, is to just let things unfold and to go with it. If you go the wrong way, you can always take another route.

Just keep creating, trying, testing, exploring, being curious and going down the unknown paths.

Go wandering and let the magic unfold, discover life’s wonderful and unexpected destinations.
