escape the need to escape

Information that inspires a shift in the way we think can sneak up and strike at any time, in any form. I had a nice piece of mind altering info come my way yesterday when I tuned into a radio segment. Mia and I were driving to meet some friends for dinner when I switched on the radio. There was a woman talking about turtles and rain storms which made no sense as an entry point. I soon got swept into the flow of this woman's story, which turned out to be about living simply and connecting with nature. She really hit home and sparked a ripple of gratitude that rolled up my spine when she said “I don’t understand this idea of escape. Saving up money for a holiday in order to escape everyday life. It doesn’t seem right to me. I don’t ever want to escape my life, I love my life”

This profound message inspires fearlessness and creativity. The life you actually want to live is yours to create, don’t settle for a life that you want to escape from.

A great place to start is with paying all your attention to the parts of your life that you already love. Water the flowers, not the weeds.
