Danuary

  Fear doesn't stop death; it stops life. If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive. People only see the decisions you made, not the choices you had. Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding. Ships are safe in the harbour, but that's not what they are built for. Ambition without action turns into anxiety. To live a life most people don't, you must be willing to do what most people won't. You can do anything, but not everything - focus. If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone. Those who don't move won't notice their chains. It's OK to live a life most people won't understand. If someone could only see your actions and not hear your words, what would they say your priorities are? You can't have a new reality with an old mentality. No risk, no story.

When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vesse...

So Danuary is over. Was it worth it? Well, considering the lack of posts in this blog, you could be forgiven for thinking it wasn't all that. So I posted a quote on social media every day? Big deal. The sound bath was a new thing, and really relaxing, but I've already been doing yoga for a while now, and have always been sort of spiritual. So that wasn't a real eye opener, although I'll definitely be going back for another one. Antigua was great with some real highlights. Getting away from everything and everybody on the wonderful trail through the rain forest going up to Boggy Peak. And at the other end of the scale, getting right amongst it on the Kon Tiki floating bar. There were other small wins. Managing to do more sit ups in a single burst than I have ever done in my life.
