As my yoga teacher said...

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Harold Thurman Whitman 


What makes me come alive?
What makes me come alive!
What makes ME come ALIVE...
I
don't
know...

but I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

I think I am most alive
when I've released anxiety.
Anxious feelings turn into crippling behaviors.

When and how do I release anxieties?
Not "over-thinking" my life.
Trying to "live in the moment"
Concentrating on the best outcome
Exercising
Dancing
...

The most important line in that quote above is:
"and then go and do that."
It is most often in the application of the thought that I fail
to come alive.

What makes you come alive?
Think on that.
And then go and do that.

Aloha

I just booked my first visit back to Hawai'i.
My heart.
is racing.

My fear.
is that I won't want to
come back.


When I land,
I'm going
straight
here
My thinking spot.
aloha.
