Focusing on good, creative, inspiring, life-supporting people, things, events,

doesn’t mean I’m avoiding the mud, it merely means that way I’m equipped with more tools and ideas how to go through the mud once facing it and actually use it as a learning curve, it will even serve me as an exfoliant and it means that during the passing through it I will be aware I will have a water source at the end to wash it off which will give me strength to pass through the challenging times.

We tend to grow during challenging times and growing can be painful and can blur the mind and focus and we can make it better or worse; we can put a blue filter on the lens and everything will be in that hue, no matter what colours are on offer around us the filter will distort them, so I’m leaving this post as a reminder to myself that once the unsupporting filters are off there are good, educative parts of the so called mud pits in life and that there is a refreshing, cleansing water on the other end where I can also mould this mud into something good, inspiring and life-supporting.

One day it’s a walk by the sea, scent of rosemary, jasmin or a stone pine, the other day it’s a note from a friend, then a piece of music or a line in a book… gentle guidelines, reminders for the “right” path, the one that is in congruency with all that I am.

May this post stay as such a reminder for this feeling of gratefulness that marks this day.
