I have been intentional about sticking to my 2021 goal of developing a daily exercise regimen. One particular morning, I traded my usual neighbourhood trek for a walk on the beach. Whew! It was tough, trudging through the damp sand in tennis shoes. Equally daunting was the long stretch of beach which I saw ahead of me. I began to question this overzealous decision of mine, but forged ahead nonetheless.
Soon, my senses were arrested by the fresh sea air, the rhythm of the waves, the idyllic turquoise waters and most importantly, that place of surpassing peace to which my mind had been transported. Suddenly, the journey seemed less challenging than I had anticipated, and before long it was a fait accompli. That’s because whatever we focus on has mastery over us. Lesson learned!
Perhaps you can relate. Your life’s journey, your task at hand seems long, arduous, insurmountable, evoking fear and threatening immobility. You have the power within you to shift your focus and to Get Moving. While you’re at it, surrender yourself freely to the beauty that life has to offer along the way and enjoy the hidden treasures that await you.
You will be amazed at how quickly you arrive at your destination!
