Feeling Content

Feeling Content

Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are "It might have been".

I wonder what that feels like for you? Please don’t be shy to share, my friend. I would really love to hear from you about this. Because, for me, feeling as content as I can be, just complete peace inside my being – always means there is no need for words. Deep understanding needs stillness and silence, as we often allow our mind to create a frenzy over whatever. It could be one of the two things: our mind is just not designed to create peace, or we have created the collective reality that stimulates our mind in that way. I don’t know. That’s the most honest from inside me right now.

Following on from my intention and promise to write a daily record of my life – particularly at this segment where I have taken back all the power I have given away at some point in my life – I have never felt more comfortable or more myself than in the past two years and especially in this moment right now. And if you are reading this in 2020 – it may sound that I have lost it. (Haha, let me just tell you that’s old news.) You do have to be prepared and willing to lose, to leave, to let go, to let it be. Everything that is no longer serving your greater purpose – give yourself absolute permission to let it go.

Trust me I know that’s easier said than done. And I guess, to a certain degree (read: all the way), you have to be at the point where you just can’t take any more – when the pain of not moving is much greater than the pain of letting go. That’s the sweet spot. If you have been there, you will know exactly what I am talking about. If you haven’t – I am not sure I can describe it for you, but you would be feeling unbearable discomfort to stay at the place where you are, for something inside you would have already shifted to the next level. And you can stay in that place for a very long time – torturing yourself. Or, you can stay just long enough to realise that your life and you have outgrown the old version of you. It would actually be easier to die as old you than to live with that mindset another day. That’s the point in which everything you imagine is possible.

That’s also the moment that paralyses many people with a fear of the unknown. And they choose to live in that state of the self-righteous victimhood (there, I said it) just getting from one day to the next. Welcome to the delusion land.

Or – rewind to the last sentence of the paragraph just above the last (I’ll make it stand out a bit, so no one can miss it if they stumble upon this blog between now and forevermore):

That’s the point in which everything you imagine is possible.

In what part does that look scary? Curiosity, creation, creativity, questioning – these are all natural to you. You’re equipped to deal with the excitement of the unknown. That’s why everything inside you is calling you forward. And the more you dig your heels in - wanting to stay put, or even desperately trying to go back – you won’t be able to turn off that constant attraction and desire to explore the magic of the unknown. You won’t be able to. Your bliss is on the other side, and it will not stop calling you. You were born in this life to reunite with it, to experience all it inspires in your uniqueness - you are here to live your bliss.

For removal of any doubt:

Bliss is….

Deep

Moving

Real

All-consuming

Unconditional

Pure

Love

And nothing less than that.

Tell me how you are doing today, my friend? It doesn’t matter time nor place – I will hear you, as my words have already shown you many times that separation is just an illusion. Let’s have a real talk now….

* * * * The Exclusive Update – 332 Days to Dream * * * * 

1.

A day of much contemplation, my friend – and not many words – in fact, the above blog post is all the 700 words that wanted to come out today. Even my thoughts were really quiet, and I am so grateful for that. Today I have also figured out that I have 4 large and 1 small set of 3 furniture pieces that I intend to re-design within the 365 Days to Dream project. I do love being creative with colour and I may have just figured out the colour, or the tone for the interior I want to choose for the living room. Remember I talked about light, and even white, although I was pretty sure I won’t go down the all-white route? I much prefer subtle colours of raw silks and particularly linen. At the moment the two longer walls in the living room are Light Oak (this was a range by Craig & Rose – I am pretty sure it was discontinued) – so it wouldn’t be a dramatic change, but I think that apart from the library bookshelves and the ceiling I would paint everything else this colour – if I can get the shade that I visualised today. So excited. That’s like a first real decision for this project.

NEWS

If you read the blog post above, you will guess that today’s feeling is one of calm and absolute content. All I can tell you, that’s not already written above – is that there is nothing from outside that has influenced and inspired this feeling, but it all stems from deep within, and certain big level of commitment and dedication to self. I am happy to share this on a deeper level with you, and if you want a one on one discussion about how I can help you reach this place inside yourself, please drop me a line. Otherwise, I will continue writing here for you and hopefully, my experience will be useful to you.

3.

Looking forward to a new week, a new plan of action, more painting (the new aquarelle collection I am working on is my most exciting work to date, and the more time I have for painting, the sooner I will be able to share it with you), a writing project in the making, and also more of the hands-on work on the 365 Days to Dream project. Watch this space for updates as they happen.
