We are inquisitive, curious, adventurous by nature... The desire to experience new things, to look at possibilities and to choose one - play with it, explore the thoughts and feelings that swirl in us - helps us step into that possibility. THAT is innate in each one of us. It is not a trait only found in an occasional great inventor or explorer...
It is innate within YOU! Your eyes see so many things that are "unseen." Your mind has so many ideas of how to create new things. Your inner spirited muse is dancing with delight at all the possibilities you could play with today. Every day we are on the edge of discovery... it is limiting beliefs and old ways of thinking that keep us from knowing it and embracing it.
Often times, we spend a great deal of our time in each day "should- ing" ourselves. Convincing ourselves that we need to be practical, or "realistic" or not dream or want much because we would only be disappointed. Or even worse people may think we are getting a "big head" thinking we can create or do or be something different or special... instead of just remembering our place.
Pause for a moment. What ideas or thoughts have been nudging you to come out and play? What possibilities are swirling in you? When you look at something what catches your eye and sparks your inspiration in thinking or creating something just a little bit different?
When you were a child it would have been so easy for you to come up with a hundred answers to those questions. If you were lucky and all the "should- ing" habits hadn't been pushed firmly into you, answering would have been easy in your young adult years too.
Those answers are still there, you just need to pay attention.To listen a bit more intently. To smile when that little inspired nudge comes up and recognize the old friend, take a little time for a lunch date, or an afternoon walk... Everything in our world, in our day, in our life, has many different possibilities. Many different outcomes. Our attention to one of them, our focus and observation on a specific one locks it into place and into our reality.
This weekend I was thinking about the scientists and specialists in NASA who were involved in the project of exploring the moon for water. They have always let their inquisitive nature, their curiosity out to play. On Friday the thirteenth, November, 2009, they discovered water on the moon. It is not that they are different from us and have more brain power or something that we do not poses that makes it possible for them to invent the instruments or the experiments that lead to this discovery. Its that they never let limiting beliefs, old ways of thinking, the "should- ing" habits drown out and suppress their innate curiosity, the wondering of what possibilities are there and how can they play with them...
Aren't you ready to rediscover that innate ability within you? There are so many wondrous things for us to play with, to experience. So many different possibilities for everything seen and unseen to choose from and so many ways to expand the bounds of who we are. Today is a delicious day to step back into the edge of discovery and see what we are inspired by.
