The choices we make

There is nothing to worry about, unless we choose.

There is nothing to fear, unless we choose.

There is nothing to get done, unless we choose.

There is nothing to stress about, unless we choose.

We create all the choices in our life, every single moment.

We choose to listen to our thoughts or not, we choose the attitude we’ll have, we choose what to say, what to do, what we eat…all of it.

Critically, we choose all the internal reactions to all that happens externally and that is where we choose to suffer within or not.

Of course, when we are stuck within our thoughts and the drama, then it is difficult to see the wood for the trees. However, the more aware of the fact that we choose everything within us, the more able we are to step away from it.

The good news is, we can all start right now making different choices and change whatever we choose to change.

Squashes

Today, as I do most days, I visited our local bio-dynamic farm at Plaw Hatch.

I absolutely love the place and people who run it and today as always at this time of year they had their trailer full of beautiful squashes. I just love the shapes and the colours.

It is a reminder, as summer passes into autumn, that nature teaches us many things and the changing seasons and the pattern of life that goes with that is there to show us that things are born, they grow, they blossom and flourish, then they fade and eventually die.

Autumn is the phase where the once flourishing plant, flower, tree…starts to wither and to fade.

All things are temporary, so enjoy every moment and make all those amazing experiences that we can all make each and every moment. Don’t stay stuck in your thoughts and worries, just enjoy and buy some squashes to make some lovely autumn soup.
