THE ENDLESS WAVE | PART TWO
that kind of complaining either. Think about whether you are having fun and what you can change in order to get there? Who is with you? Are you in good company today? Is there anything that you can practise or anything new that you can try today?
When I have connected with clients’ loved ones on the Other Side, it’s com- mon for me to hear about their regrets and sometimes unfinished business. They tell me about the things that they wished they had done and the things that they wished they had said. No one ever tells me about their wish to be la- zier or bored.
This experience alone inspires me and my clients to live with passion and purpose! Even though our souls go through a journey and we are able to go from one life to the next, the truth is, we’ll never experience this same life again. Not even a day or moment in time goes by where everything is identical to another.
Life is about living. Worrying and complaining, wallowing in doubt and things that weigh you down actually affirm and give power to the undesir- able experiences that you actually don’t want in your life. Rather than speaking about what you should be doing, (which has negative undertones that what you’re currently doing is not good enough and projects your thoughts out into the future to another day, another moment), try consider speaking about yourself in the now, with statements beginning with “I can” and “I am”. Speak about yourself as if you’ve already attained what you are seeking.
Think about what you can look back on as your days pass. Did you fill your days with joy? Or did you find your life boring and uninspiring? You have the choice and you have the power to change this!
I find that an attitude of gratitude is one that can help you reach these deeper forms of appreciation and value in creating an everyday legacy. Enjoy every push, pop and kickturn. Ride your skateboard like you mean it. It’s an expres- sion of love for the board you stand on and the wheels you roll on.
