"What the world needs..."

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman. I love that. Isn't it just great! 'Come alive', do the thing in life that makes you come alive.

I can hear lots of little voices in the background saying things like "yeah, right, if only life was that easy!" "What planet is this woman living on?" "You need a reality check!" etc.

But do you know what? One of the things I am finally coming to realise, thanks to a most amazing guy called Steve Chandler, is that we can actually do the things in life that we really want to do, we just have to have the guts to go and do them!

One of the things that has been coming in and out of my head so often of late is "nothing is any more difficult than what we make it". We make things - life, encounters, relationships, everything - so much more difficult than we need to. Why do we do that??

Well the answer is quite simple really, fear!

And that's where I will pick up next time, maybe.........
