Every day, each one of us continue on our journey of life,
and to speak from my personal experience. I have realised, that with everyone I
have ever spent any significant time with, the underlying “thing” seems to be similar. We are all searching for our place in the world. Also, that indeterminate “place”
is never reached, coz once we reach it, we inevitably start searching for that “next”
place.
With the presence and participation of so many wonderful
people in my life, I have also come to realise that it is less about the
destination and more about the journey, and that one of the keys to make the
journey worthwhile is Gratitude.
If you are anything like me, you are a complex individual,
and on occasion, you have that feeling that no one in life gets you.
I used to feel that way a lot and it caused me a great deal
of discomfort, but I have come to a space where I have come to appreciate my
unique-ness. There are things in this life that just reaches into my deepest
being, and people will make fun of you. It is ok, if they don’t know what
things in life touch them deeply, that is for their journey, their discovery,
not mine.
My journey includes seeking out everything so beautiful in
life to me personally, that I feel so overwhelmed with joyously ecstatic
emotion that my chest and head can barely contain it and makes me want to give
gratitude to the Power of the Universe.
It has made me wonder, is it necessarily unacceptable to “tap”
into something so deeply and so consistently if it makes you grateful for the
life you have been blessed with.
For some time now, I have had that one thing that has
inspired that joy and gratitude so indescribably huge, so uncontainable and it
has sustained my space of gratitude. It has done it consistently, for so long
that I can even take the disappointments in stride and still be grateful for
the amazing life I have been given the responsibility to live.
This is where the kicker comes in. Taylor Swift’s album,
#1989 is that “thing” that has managed to pull me out of a “hard-luck” space of
nearly 2 years, into a space of blooming potentiality.
I have accomplished more just by channelling my gratitude
and using the music to help me focus my intention for the future, and the
progress in less than 2 months have been staggering. I am grateful. To the Universe and to Taylor... by her hard work and realising her dreams, she has inspired me with her dream... making beautiful music and inspiring people... that music has become my muse. Because I let it. It is a soul transcending experience to allow another to inspire you to soar.
Is it such unacceptable behaviour, to use something as
beautifully inspiring as music to direct yourself onto a path that you have
feared to tread upon for longer than you can remember.
Go on, plug your headphones in, put #1989 on, start with Clean and listen to the entire album, lie down, close your eyes and in an honest open heart space, feel what her music wants you to know. For me, it was Gratitude and uncontainable joy!
