We need challenges in our everyday's livess
"When my mind is in control, I can do anything, when my body is in control, it makes excuses to stop my on my track...
to reach my deadlines...," said Pat Farmer, who ran from South to North Pole to raise money for humanitarian purposes.
Balance is the key. We need to learn to listen both.
You may be a teacher, a nurse or environmentalist looking after plants or animals,
a volunteer or just someone wanting to make the world a better place...
When you are happy, when your passion is burning to get you started, to keep you going....
When you are generating good feelings, you can work under all restrictions and heal with the greatest ease.
It's the single most overlooked yet powerful healing thing a person can do for another human being or anything and anybody in natural environment.
Roman Krznaric in his book 'The wonderbox: Curious Histories of How to Live' gives an example of Frenchman Philippe Petit who walked a tightrope between the twin towers in 1974.
The idea is not to be paralyzed by a sense of inadequancy or fate, but to be active and engaged and free spirited, free of idols, dogmas, unexamined prejudices and timid conformity....
A refreshing diversity of human beings such as the high-wire artist who walked, ran and even dance in the air...how intimidating to those of us who lack the skill and courage to do such things literally or metaphorically...
And yet with a burning passion in our hearts we can think far more freely about love and family, our place in nature, our hands and creative abilities, our conversation with others, our attitude to authority... and we can act upon it as well
Keep your inner fire burning
each day
rekindle it
with a light heart
it is okay
to strive for something
dreaming about reaching stars
a small fire
is enough
to keep you warm
and gives you light
on your journey
through life.
Burning fire
out of control,
consuming
your body
and your heart,
changes to obsessions
with a blink of an eye.
Anything you want
too much
you seek
without release
high set of expectations
you never meet
becoming the victim
of your self image
a slave
to ambitions
vanity
ego
and greed.
All that energy
you need,
never satisfied hunger
you constantly feed
burst out
in flames
leaving
nothing
no sense,
just a pile of ashes
at your feet.
Relying on people,
places
and events
to feed your passion,
making you happy
is the ultimate fantasy,
with feelings
of pleasure
and disappointment
chasing each other
without end.
Happiness
thrives on
the life source
energies
ever consuming you,
sexuality
ever leaving you,
creativity
always searching for
spirituality
always appreciated
joy
mixing happily
according to the individual
choice,
with passion
you make
your own coctail
of the permanent happiness.
The interior peace
feeling good
inside your own skin
relax
don't try so hard
to please and impress
ever hungry crowd.
How can you explain,
that you don't waste
your energy anymore
on burning you out passions,
on the things you can not change,
regret, guilt or anxiety
becomes
are just empty words
of the past.
You seem to know
exactly
how to proceed
and you seem to know
the connection to others
with enough passion
to help them know,
they are not alone.
And it turns out to be
the most healing thing
you can do.
