How Do You Feel?

Are you feeling amazing?

Are you feeling like there isn’t anything you cannot do?

This is what I want every one to feel.   Right now.  Right where you are.

Feeling amazing, and like you can do anything, is your birthright.  You really are amazing and can do anything.  We are always creating the world around us.  We create our world on purpose or by default.  The preferred road to amazing is on purpose.  The default road to amazing has a few bumps along the way.  I know this personally.  I have  lived by default way too long.

Don’t get me wrong.  I have created some amazing  experiences in my life not on purpose.  I am very appreciative of all my accomplishments.  I have literally  burned the midnight oil and pulled more all-nighters than I care to remember, working intensely to make things happen.  I did not feel amazing most of the time.  I was always working.  A lot of the time I felt like I had too much to do and not enough time to  get everything done.  I call this feeling overwhelm.  I made shit happen.  Good shit.  It took a lot of time and effort.  I was creating my world by default and the road was bumpy.

I am not going to try to make you think you can create anything without putting in time and effort.  What I am telling you is that making stuff happen on purpose creates the air underneath your wings.  Being on purpose means choosing something to focus on and being clear about what you want.  Being on purpose, you step in the direction of what you want and desire.  You Take One Step.  You  will know what comes next.  Then you take that next Step.  And the next Step.  Stepping in is exciting.  It is inspiring.  Taking action does not feel like work at all.  You lose track of time.  When you stay up all night it is because you do not want to stop what you are doing.  You make shit happen.  Good shit.  You create your world on purpose and feel amazing.  There isn’t anything you cannot be, have or do.   

I know it is hard to take me seriously while you are looking around at the things you feel are not working in your life.  Everything can be  turned around.  I’m even willing to bet there are more things working in your life than you realize.

Although there isn’t any real structure to how and what I share with you, it is my intent to inspire and empower you to transform what is not working in your life.  Transformation is the name of the game.  You have to want it.  Are you ready to make some changes in your life?  Are you ready for this?  You are, or you would have stopped reading a long time ago.

I invite you to join me here as I  transform what no longer works for me.  We are doing this together.  Ask me anything.  Tell me what’s on your mind.  Let’s change some things and make good shit happen.  We are amazing and can be, have and do everything.

How do you feel?

Why haven’t you been able to make the change?

LIKE A TURTLE OUT OF WATER????!!!!

What in the world?

Like a turtle out of water????!!!!

Boy was I surprised!

I was taking a walk a few months ago mid-morning and I came across this turtle just in front of me at the corner of the intersection I was going to cross.  I had not seen it as I was approaching the corner.  He was just there.

I’m guessing he saw me because he wasn’t moving.  He was just there.  

Of course I leaned down to get a closer look, thinking what the heck is this guy doing here?  He seemed like a dude to me, so he is this guy.  We kind of looked at each other for a while.  He must have felt my spirit and figured out I was not going to kick him or something, and after a while he continued on his journey.  I have no idea where he was going.

I do have an idea where he came from.  Looking at this picture, if you stepped over him, you would be crossing a pretty busy street with an island separating this side of the street from the other side of the street.  Which I crossed after he had moved on a bit.  When you get to the other side and take a left, which is the direction I was going in, after a while, there is a sort of pond on your right side.  I’m pretty sure this is where The Turtle Out Of Water came from.

For me, this distance is maybe an 1/8th of a mile.  Google says an 1/8th of a mile is 660 feet and 0.125 mile.  I’m thinking in Turtle Miles this guy had to have walked what should have seemed to him like no less than 20 miles for him to get to where I saw him.  He was a long way from home!

It has been hot as hell! here in North Carolina for quite a while now.  This day was no different.  It had to be at least 90 degrees and there was no water around for this turtle.  He was truly a Turtle Out Of Water.

Nature never ceases to amaze and delight me.  You can tell I was impressed.  It’s been a few months and I can’t stop thinking about this turtle.

I learned a lot about strength of character, persistence, trust, faith, patience and a bunch of other stuff as a result of this very random encounter.

Here’s this turtle waaaaay out of his comfort zone.  He was alone.  He didn’t have a phone.  He could not phone home, or call a lifeline.  I cannot imagine he planned his trip ahead of time.  Something made him swim out of the water, to the edge, walk up on the grass, out onto the sidewalk, down the street and then cross the street without getting run over, to where I saw him, which was just a stop along his way.  I can not tell you where he was going, or where he ended up.

He was not in a rush.  He wasn’t worried.  He wasn’t scared.  I was hot and starting to sweat when I finished my walk.  He did not have a bottle of water to drink.  He was not concerned that he was no where near water.  He was not afraid.  He just was.  He was completely carefree.

When is the last time you were carefree?  When is the last time you were not worried about EVERYTHING?

I. Want. To. Be. Like. This. Turtle. Out. Of. Water. When. I. Grow. Up.

I want a well developed strength of character which is about being on purpose without even know what my purpose is.

I want to be persistent and never give up on whatever is important to me.

I want to trust that all things always work out for me.

I want faith that I can be, do and have every thing I choose and desire.

I want the patience to know I will reach my destination.

I want to know that I don’t have to plan every detail, or even have a plan at all.

I want to be unafraid of everything, even random encounters with the unfamiliar.

I just want to be comfortable being exactly who I am, exactly as I am.

I want to be completely carefree.

I want to not worry about anything.

I want to know I am called, and more importantly, that I follow the call.

I want to know it is okay and safe to be waaaaay out of my comfort zone.

I am so glad this turtle crossed my path and made me realize, and know, that I too, am supported and nurtured by an unseen, very real spirit and power that calls to me and directs my path every step along my journey of life.

JUST LIKE A TURTLE OUT OF WATER????!!!!

Hell Yes!!!!
