Not writing here every day has been a gift and an awakening. It has given me the opportunity to gain some awareness on the value and importance of ‘consistency’ and a chance to reflect on why I write and create, and the importance of doing it every day.
As I reflected on the value of consistency, my thoughts centered around the importance of knowing ‘the what’ of what it is I want to be through everything I do, create and say everyday…
What I want to be each day is inspiring, caring, kind, and loving.
I want to create more of what I value in the world — peace, love, harmony and joy.
I want to give the grace I wish to receive.
I want to be the ripple that inspires a tsunami of love all around.
Reflecting on those things I want to create in the world around me, I reframed my ‘wants’ into a ‘here and now’ statement. In the ‘here and now’, they become my daily intentions, the ‘thing’ I frame my thinking and actions for the day on because I know, this is what my day is all about. This is what will bring my heart peace. This is what will create the more of what I want in my world. And, like writing here every morning, the consistency of my intentions becomes my path. Centered on my path, I become that which I create and what I create becomes me. And in those moments when I fall off the path, I breathe and remind myself, Always begin again. And so I do. And so it is.
Louise, this is poetic. 🙂
And it speaks of everything I too want my life to be about.
You have just reassured me that am not crazy to want the awesomeness of all things life.
To ripples!

Louise hits it out of the park again — this could be my prayer — don’t think I’d write it as eloquently…

LG,
Some adding .. or perhaps counterpoint for you.
What if, as you start to create anything … you just let your juices flow, do, write, paint etc. … without the mental focus – just let the creative process you know so well take you through it.
My guess – expectation and prediction is this: if you don’t harness yourself with “I want to create more of what I value in the world — peace, love, harmony and joy” as a mandate … you will get ‘pure Louise’ product and it will likely touch all those bases.
My thinking, drawn on my experience, is that our best work is often a product of not thinking, not planning, not predicting a purpose or an outcome.
You’ll get the outcome.
It will probably, since you are so authentic, meet those tests.
But it might more-free, not self-harnessed, but self-released …
And who knows what you might create.
Cheers,
Mark
p.s. I predicted you would miss the ‘daily-ness’. Methinks I was right …
