What does it mean to LIVE!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE!

Welcome to Dec Blog. I trust the Silly Season is merrily leading you towards its 2011 end, and opening up new year dreams and contemplations for you each.

I was most fortunate to have a wonderful group sitting last night, and an extended thanks to those who were present, as you’ve inspired the content of this blog.

One of the questions I was asked was “what can I do to stay on my life path?” To which the answer was LIVE -  LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE! More personal details were extended, but the simple response from Spirit to this question resonated with me post event.  It is that obvious, that simple! Yet complex and confounding. Do we really do this? Live?

Of course yes, we eat, sleep, breathe, pay taxes, the basics… but what does it mean to be really ALIVE!?

At base, I believe we are always on our life path, even when we feel otherwise, but how you are viewing and experiencing it can affect the level of peace, happiness, joy and ease, or other you travel with.

The simple Spirit answer – to LIVE, refered more to embrace…  embrace life – all of it! Learn to love life! We have tendency to stay within the familiar, the mundane, the fears, which is all part of life sure, but I wonder if sometimes we should let it all go and add shades of unexplored colour to our constructs to enliven us!  

I see colour in peoples auras, and it most sparkles and glows when we enjoy, embrace and accept  life and dig deep into each part of it. This includes in adversity when we chose to see the obstruction as creative learning inspiration; grief as needed emotional release; enemies as our wisest teacher friends; our judgment as reflection of our inner beliefs. Those I’ve witnessed who embrace life and its challenges with fervor and childlike exploration, sparkle, they love the complexity of life and the colour it brings to them. Like an artist who learned to paint with primary colour suddenly gets access to secondary colours – what more they can create, express and bring to the life palate,

I went to dinner post event last night and a lovely older gentleman friend suggested in general chat the best choice we can make in life is optimism.

In each moment we can chose optimism or pessimism – glass half full or empty. Which are you choosing? Does it serve you? Will you chose another option or embrace the choice you made?

Bless our ability to chose! And even though we tire as the end of another year draws close, perhaps this reminder is timely to create new awareness within the New Year.

I’ve witnessed 2011 as a trialing year for so many and I’m sure they will be greeting 2012 with open arms in reflection of such. Personally, I enjoyed this year tremendously, as I found so much value within it. It went fast, As we near the closing of it I am slightly saddened to see it go, as a good friend it has been, but know I lived it as well I could and know there will be many other friend  like years ahead.

I have enjoyed sharing parts of it with you via this Blog, as clients, friends and acquaintances. I look forward to sharing 2012 with you also, and send my love to you and all those you hold dear! Enjoy Christmas and the New Year and I trust you will above all else – LIVE! xoJK
