Sometimes you just have to go with it.
Sometimes you just have to move, take a direction in the direction of your hopes and dreams even if you haven’t got a clue what they are or how to get there. We don’t always have the luxury of knowing the destination – we have to be willing, in the spirit of adventure, to take the first step and let the journey unfold as we walk it.
That good old nugget of the journey being as important as the destination.
Except that, for me I don’t always know where I am heading other than some vague notion or intuition or feeling that I am following and learning to have faith in. I do know that it is leading me in a right direction and that the journey, in this case, is more important than the direction.
Despite my best efforts to stay still and stay safe and secure for a while, my spirit is having none of it. I have been moody, manic and depressive in mood of late. As Abraham Hicks tells us, these feelings are not bad. They are just feedback that something is out of whack and things can be better if we make choices that lead us to a better feeling. For me I see this as my spirit making it so uncomfortable for me to stay put that any direction or motion is better than inertia.
Remember that the essence of or spirit, of our life force is fire – that is what “having a fire in the belly” refers to. When was the last time you saw a static and inert fire? It is non-existent. As spirits in physical form we have to keep moving, changing. Otherwise we get what I have called “osteoporosis of the belief system”. We simply so rigid and stiff that we lose the ability to flow, to adapt and change. So for me, my spirit wants me to move and sooner or later, I will move as I don’t like feeling like crap for too long!
So it is time for me to start following the yellow brick road as it were and go in search of the magic that I know is out there (or in here as the case may be). Just following a feeling but beats being stuck staring at my navel

You are so right Krish. The last year was the most successful I’ve had since starting my own business. This was a year when others are failing and falling by the way side. Although I was enervated by this realisation of continued success I have not ‘achieved my goal’ as I’m not sure there is a specific one. Sadly, what I did realise was that while that year was so successful financially, there was a ‘whatever happens this must also be in the mix’ which had got lost after all this activity and was still missing earlier in the year.
It was only when I started taking my photography seriously again that things changed and the ‘mix’ changed and began bringing me adventures I had forgotten were waiting to be experienced and allowed wings to unfold in a way they had not for a very long time. Silly that something as narcissistic as taking photos of one self can be so enervating. It’s not only seeing yourself in a different light, or a light you might have not seen for sometime, but also the comments you might receive from others you have not met, but they have seen you and thought you deserve that compliment.
So once again I’ve got ants-in-my-pants to walk a slightly different path and enjoy the experience of the mix and delight in learning to be more me again.
You know what David, I couldn’t agree more. I recently went through a period of throwing myself into the day job, just going with the flow but losing elements along with it. When I came to time off, I was determined to get into creative mode with writing and such like but just couldn’t get into the groove and got more antsy. I was only when I really did let go and go with the flow that I realised I wanted to read stuff that took my mind away to other places, other times. More than that, reading voraciously for a week allowed me to just rest and rejuvenate which had been so vital. As a result, the creative energy and a ton of inspiration came back…all back I went with the flow…counter intuitive to a person who can be slightly control-freakish like me but what was needed.
I applaud your following the beat of a different drummer and let’s talk about that slightly different path you might follow!
