Once I was dancing with a member of the opposite sex. I took her by the small of her back. Closed my eyes and danced, only by breath and feel. I tried to give myself to the dance. I swear in that moment we were connect not just to ourselves, but to something greater. We experienced something. I shot through the matrix.
Have you ever felt this?
Times when you were connected and it all made sense
Some people would say it was me being in the present moment
It was more then that. It was me being able to flow
I had the skill and the knowledge and I executued
Once at a swimming carnival I remember a relay, my team was half a lap behind. I jumped in the water and just swam, just gave it everything. I looked up, I hit the wall, we had won.
What is the common thread in each of these moments?
Giving – Of myself, of my energy to the task at hand to only what is there
Skill – The application of skill that I had learnt and trusting my self with that skill
Not trying – only doing
If I can bring these three things out in my daily life more I will no doubt benefit.
It will change and allow me to extract more out of life. More zest.
Think less and give more perhaps?
Can you give whilst thinking? Probably not, right?
