I was realising the other day – just how much more open I am – to change in my life – as I get older.

I’m not just thinking of the external changes – that most of us come across on life’s journey – but the changes that have come about – in my mind and spirit – and I am appreciating – and embracing – new experiences – and new perspectives too.

A quote I found puts it so clearly for me –

“In the river of life – being open minded – allows us to flow gracefully through every twist and turn – embracing new perspectives and experiences. Let your mind be the sanctuary of growth and resilience – finding beauty and strength – in every journey”.

I’d like to think that I can – ‘flow gracefully’ – through the twists and turns of life – as I seek to find – ‘beauty and strength – in every journey’.

And – I so agree with these words –

“An open mind allows you to explore – and create – and grow. Remember that progress would be impossible – if we always did things the way we always have”.

So much has changed during my lifetime – and for me – it’s important that I change too – being willing to broaden my mind – to explore new concepts – and to listen to my own soul.

To follow – my own heart – free from any restrictions from the past – even when there is still so much that I don’t understand – for – as beautifully put here – “the soul has been given it’s own ears – to hear things – the mind does not understand”.

There’s a sense in which – I don’t need to understand – I trust my own soul to lead me – and I love how that has been something I have recognised all my life. Always being conscious of that deep connection of the soul – which is not simply important – but is in essence – who I am.

I often used to say – that I wanted to be – ‘naturally – supernatural’ – and of course – that is truly who I am. It’s not something that I have to strive to be – but – that is me – to the core of my being.

So – it’s important to me – to ‘dance to the song of my own essence’ – as encouraged in this quote –

“Dip into your own soul – Find your own truth – What calls to your heart – What moves your spirit – Make your life dance – to the song of your own essence”.
