In days and years where our life seems
to flash before us we must find our own natural rhythm to keep balance and
harmony within us and around us.
When we push, go, reach, grab and
strive to keep moving forward in life we rarely enjoy the journey but if we
take each moment, experience and opportunity as it comes and flow with our own
natural rhythm at our own natural pace we understand that the journey is life.
One of the greatest examples of a
natural rhythm is right out your door…Nature! Nature is constantly flowing in
its own natural rhythm. The waves roll in and out. The tides come in and then
the tides go out. The leaves on the trees rustle gently in the breeze. The sun
rises and the sun sets. Nature flows within its own natural rhythm which is
something we love and admire.
There is a reason that we often look
outside the window to reflect. There is a reason why people often go to the
beach to relax…
It is in these surroundings where
everything is in harmony and balance flowing at its own natural pace that we
discover peace and calm. Nature does not supply us with peace and calm; nature
is simply reflecting what is idle within us, our true essence beyond name and
form.
Sometimes we lose balance and ignore
our own natural rhythm and when this happens everything around us becomes un-
balanced. It all starts with you. A fast paced life may be right for someone
else but it may not be right for you. Take the time to still the mind and go
within - listen, observe and feel without attachment. Everything about the
experience of finding your own rhythm needs to be simple. Rest when you must,
play when you wish and be who you are without defending or justifying why you
choose to live the way you do.
Flow to your own rhythm not to the
rhythm of those around you.
