When today’s chaos hits your reality, it creates waves. For many, these are recurring waves of anxiety, anger, fear, overwhelm, and hopelessness. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
As you surf the complexities and uncertainties of our times, which waves are you choosing? We’re Off Balance On Purpose in La Jolla, California.
Ocean waves can be mesmerizing, enticing, and frightening. Their beauty and power calls to us as a primal force, representing the collision between fluid chaos and solid ground. They’re both timeless and imminent. Original and predictable; each wave unique in its exact form, energy and journey, yet rooted in tides and cyclical patterns.
Waves can wash or crush. Propel or punish. Deliver or destroy. They don’t bend to your desires. Waves are evident and undeniable.
When today’s chaos hits your reality, it also creates waves. For many, these are recurring waves of anxiety, anger, fear, overwhelm, and hopelessness. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Just as the surfer looks past the immediate and chooses the precise wave to engage, you too can gain greater perspective, paddle through disruption, and align with positive potential. At this collision of the undeniable and the unknowable, you can see and select waves of joy and gratitude; waves of compassion and clarity; waves of possibility and hope.
As you ride out those negative waves, know there are also, right now, huge waves of inspiration and opportunity. Love and fulfillment. Purpose and contribution. But they won’t just come to you. You need to paddle into position to engage them. My new book, Positive Chaos, can help you do that.
This takes some humility and effort – inwardly, as you think and decide differently. And outwardly, as you speak and act in new ways. Also, seek the company of fellow surfers more skilled and accomplished than you.
You can spend your whole life watching the waves, or being hit by them. Or you can select and choose the waves that strengthen and propel you. Until next week, stay, Off Balance On Purpose.
