Change is the only constant in life. It is a powerful energy which can bring misery if resisted, but met with courage and faith it can become a force for moving forward. The mere thought of change almost automatically brings on a feeling of resistance.
Change is scary! Thoughts like: I don’t know the outcome - I have to leave my comfort zone - I feel vulnerable and out of my depth, are born out of fear of the unknown. Many of us think: "NO – better ‘the devil I know’. I am not exactly happy, but at least I know where I stand. I am familiar with the feelings of frustration and resignation. Though, I feel trapped, unhappy – no way out. If I change anything it might all get worse." However, the Universe is in constant motion. Everything changes in every moment. Even Science has found that over the course of 7 years the body completely renews itself – every single cell! So, when we try to hold on and keep things the same, preserve the ‘status quo’, we work against that natural change. This is where most worries, fears and thereby manifested illnesses arise. Whereas, if change is seen as an opportunity, accepted gracefully and with courage – if we do ‘go with the flow’ and work with the change, we are – believe it or not - more in control of our life, have a greater chance to achieve a more positive result. Here’s to the manifold and constant opportunities to change life for the better!

Our thoughts are like the seeds of a dandelion. They are scattered by the winds of life, and if they fall on fertile ground, they will grow. They have life within them which, when nurtured and encouraged, will blossom. I started this blog in August last year when I joined a camera club to document my progress as a photographer. In September last year I bought a new camera, and I had no idea how absorbing my rediscovered hobby would become. A year on from then I also rediscovered my love for writing inspirational articles. So I thought I would put these two passions together and start regular blog entries for all those who like to look at pictures of our world (sometimes artistically enhanced) and who at the same time are open to be spiritually lifted to a level of positivity and awareness from where life flows with a bit more ease.
Of course I know that life is not always 'a bed of roses', and the media are always eager to show us how sensationally terrible life is somewhere in the world at any given moment. However, I feel that focusing on the beauty of nature and self-improvement to serve that part of the world with which I come into contact, is my best contribution to life on this earth. Oh yes, we all contribute to life, no matter how insignificant one might feel. Like a stone thrown in a lake makes ripples that go out over the surface, the actions of every individual human being make ripples that go out not only to our friends, family and strangers we meet on our journey, but over our planet or even beyond. I am but a humble dandelion scattering many seeds, trusting that some will come to flower. x |
AuthorI love taking pictures, particularly of nature, flowers, landscapes, close-ups and architecture. I enjoy travelling and exploring and finding creative ways to capture the world as I see it. Combining my pictures with my inspirational articles gives the reader, I feel, a more holistic experience. A Thoughtful Gift
