When I painted this, I was remembering Breast Cancer Awareness Day 2009/2010 in Victoria, BC, Canada, where all
sorts of bras were hung on wires all over the city centre. That and my own “bad hair day” banner was a remind
to live my life without caring about what others thought about me.
Today, the quote
that most touched me is this one from Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday interview with
Arianna Huffington, founder of the “Huffington Post”:
"Live life as if everything is rigged in
your favor." -Rumi. This is my favorite quote! #SuperSoulSunday #Thrive
It is so easy to say,
“This and that happened to me, and I don’t know what to do now.” And then I get stuck.
Yesterday, I realised
that actually, I always “ask” of things happening in life as “How would this
affect my work in the future?”
Or “Would A or B be
the best choice towards working for
what I want in the future?”
For goodness sake, I
am a spiritual director/coach! And yet, I
still plan my life like a “career” move.
Bad habits really
die hard.
So yesterday, in an
AHA moment, I began to ask myself “If I want to do this now, such as move to
California, why don’t I just do it and enjoy the moment!”
Major “duh!”
Today, I remind
myself that I WANT to live in the present moment and enjoy it.
Something inside me has
been wanting to go to California for months.
Rationally, I don’t know why. But
this has happened before. I wanted to go
to England a year before I finally bought the air ticket and it became one of
the greatest gifts in my life.
Besides, if the
other choice is to stay in England, where I really don’t like the cold anymore,
then my body craves for sunnier, warmer climates :)
