I was told today that I got my walk back.
I've been going through a growing experience where I had started doubting who I was and my ability - and I took some steps to get me back.
The game of aligning your spirit and your daily actions is not about either a physical change or a mental one - but rather about both.
I read somewhere that it is easier to act yourself into a new way of thinking than to think yourself into a new way of acting. But that is about force of will - I am not refering to a force of will.I am not talking about mind over matter.
I am talking about being spirit-led. I am talking about you feeling your inner light and letting that shine through in your smile, your walk, your talk and your eyes.
All light ahead comes from the light within.
Once I let my inner light shine - I got my walk back.

Da Vinci Code
I am reading a book about Leonardo Da Vinci and how simple his genius was.
All that he did was dedicate his time to the search.
He was always searching and curious. But his curiosity was never just for information - but for discovery and experience - to apply the knowledge of what he learnt. This learning gave him a clear skill - observation. But not like we observe - he observed beyond what can be seen with the eyes.
We often struggle to use our other senses to see. We don't really see people, or nature and how it works together. We often don't even see ourselves - or who we do see is a distorted view of us. When we get a touch of our other senses we dismiss it.
In the book it teaches that Da Vinci was both an artist and a scientist - both hard and soft - the balance of masculine and feminine. His ability to see both sides - and how they are 2 sides of the same thing allowed him to see things more wholly.
We often feel the need to see one side over the other. Why?
We have been trained that there is a right way and a wrong way - and the right way is the perfect way and the wrong way is the way where mistakes are made. Da Vinci taught that you have to give up the idea of perfection and value the experience rather than whether the outcome was perfect or not.
Considered one of the greatest minds of our time - a genius in many disciplines - a visionary who before flight was invented thought about a parachute.....he saw beyond impossible. He suffered hardships because of his free thinking approach - but he never sought consensus because what he saw was not everyone agreeing with him - he saw that because everyone was agreeing with each other no-one was seeing what was really going on. Too busy protecting their point of view.
Alice in Wonderland - think of 6 impossible things everyday. If they were possible how different would your life be?
What do you see?
