The Sweet Spot

"Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures."Lovelle Drachman

Following an extended connection that abruptly ended, I was reminded that by deviating from the set path, we can sometimes imprint the fondest of memories; by allowing ourselves the flexibility to be curious and spontaneous, we can awaken some of the most exciting and rewarding adventures. Building the most beautiful mosaic. I consider this The Sweet Spot.

Yes, we've all been there before, but how do we consciously stay in that deliciousness? Our minds are comforted by routine and hot-wired for patterns. It's the human condition. Actually, creativity comes to life within structure. So, when we invite curiosity in and allow for scary unplanned circumstances, we're not only expanding the realm in which our creative self lives, but also breaking through those daily ruts and manifesting a more deeply fulfilled life experience.

A simple instruction to The Sweet Spot is to stay curious + take risks + face fear head-on. Personally, I find it less daunting when thought of as a self-awareness challenge; staying in the moment but paying attention to those uneasy anxious times, and making a point to vear off path and not succumb to imprisonment [or the mundane]. Flexing those mind muscles from time to time can make for a really strong, versatile core. After all, the heart is where our ultimate truth lies.

"Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit." E. E. Cummings

The vast sweep of the sea softly whispered that incalculable possibilities await... Be still, listen closely... Do you hear it?
