Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote that in his poem, ‘ The Rainy Day’. We’re from New England, and one thing we’ve learned as New Englander’s is that if you wait long enough, change will come, the rain will stop.

When we get in that rainy day funk, look at it as a blessing. I can tell you, after living in Las Vegas where it rained once in a blue moon, when it rained I welcomed it like an old friend, the downtime, the quiet time that reminded me of those old days in New England.

If you find yourself in a position where the rainy days of your mind are more frequent than desired it might be time for you to take another perspective because you can’t keep moving forward with the same tools in your toolbox that didn’t work in the past. It might be a wake up call from Father/Mother/God of what doesn’t work. And when something doesn’t work we need to get out of our [tool]box, or as they say, think outside of our box.

But how can you think outside of your box if you don’t know what you don’t know?

Ah Ha! That’s a great question!

When I started my journey as a life coach back in 2002 we did exercises called ‘stretches’. We would force ourselves to do things that made us completely uncomfortable. I remember one of those ‘stretches’ where I had to go out on the beach with a paperclip and come back with something different. Some people in our group came back with physical cash, some came back with only the paperclip that they had started with. The ones that came back with something different than the paperclip were willing to get out of their box, release their story of what it should look like, or what it HAD looked like their whole life. They were willing to see something different, and that is where you need to be, mentally, if you find yourself repeating the same old story.

Peace!

Last night while riding my Harley down route 40 in Florida the sky above me was lit up so bright by the full moon that a tear came to my eye. Synchronicities have been happening all around me for weeks, but now that my journey has concluded (at least for the moment) I feel that restlessness setting in.

With all I’ve learned traveling the 2500+ miles I have to center myself and remind myself that the journey is not over, it has, in fact… just begun. I get to now rest briefly and allow everything to unfold around me. That restlessness and urgency are part of my old paradigm, I have to constantly remind myself that I create my reality.

Our society has conditioned us to ‘DO’ things, thinking that if I live within these parameters I will be happy. This is not the case. If we are in a constant state of ‘Do’ing we aren’t allowing our innate creativity to flourish. This is what brings on depression and anxiety. We see it in our society more and more here in the US. In Los Angeles alone there are approximately 60,000 homeless souls. Some from mental illness, some from poverty, some from drugs, runaways, etc.

What if we allowed people in our society to ‘Be’ their authentic selves and nurtured that creativity to teach others to ‘Be’ as well? What would that look like? Our society has become so transfixed on the almighty dollar that we are becoming lost and only focusing on the bottom line.

So, today, as you get ready to go to your job that you hate, ask yourself….

What will I create today that will allow me to ‘Be’ my authentic self?

Peace!

Along my journey across the United States I have learned ‘non-attachment’. There was an interesting example of this while riding through Houston. While riding, as I’ve mentioned before, I have been listening to the Hay House HEAL Summit which was 4 days of seminars by various speakers. Well, as I’ve delved deeper into this I have become the observer for everything around me. Along side of me a car was rear-ended, crushing the back end of it, the car that was rear-ended swerved towards me, I downshifted the motorcycle and gunned it to get clear of the collision that was heading towards me. As I pondered this after getting clear of it I laughed. Why did I laugh? Because I was observing it, I was no longer part of it, there was no story that I needed to make up in my head, nor did I feel the need to freak out or make up what could have happened. It did not alter my reality for more than the moment that it happened.

What was the lesson of this?

Mind you, I sent prayers for the people in the accident. I’m sure they weren’t looking forward to that in their day and I do sympathize. I don’t want you to get the impression from this that I don’t care. I’m sure that they learned a lesson from this as well, and as the observer on a motorcycle I am very aware of people on their celphones. Now that I’ve got that disclaimer out of the way, what did I learn?

Living in the NOW as Eckhart Tolle teaches is about getting rid of the ‘what if’s’, or ‘should have’s’, or anything else that comes from the past, or of the future. Being in the NOW is about being present. Present with our feelings. Present with our actions. Present with our thoughts.

I pulled the Hanged Man today from my Tarot deck. The Hanged man is about surrender. It’s about not being attached to anything and allowing ourselves to experience the journey.

Life is about the Journey, not the Destination.

Peace!
