The following story opened up some thoughts about how many of us feel as if life was nothing more than nothing.  It is easily measured by how each of you embraces one’s life.  Your life is not dependent upon how others expect you to be.  Unfortunately, many of you feel that there is nothing more you can do.

“Tell me the weight of the snowflake,” a hawk asked a wild dove.  “Nothing more than nothing” was the answer.  “In that case I must tell you a marvelous story,” said the hawk.  “I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk.  It began to snow.  Not heavily, not a raging blizzard, no, just like in a dream, without any violence.  Since I had nothing better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch.  Their number was exactly 3,741,952 when the next snowflake dropped onto the branch-‘nothing more than nothing’ as you say-and the branch broke off.”  Having said that the hawk flew away.  {Quoted from book, “Why is this happening to me…Again! By Dr. Michael Ryce}.

How about being the best that you can be?  I wonder if this would be enough.  We all tend to look for more.  So many of you can identify with the qualities in others very easily; yet, not when it is about you.

It is easier to feel nothing or feel there is nothing more than nothing.  You, along with others, feel there is more to do or to be even if you are taking the steps one at a time.  Destiny seems so far fetched and you almost want to surrender instead of being aware of how you react.

Have fun!  Laugh more often!  Would this not be a different experience for you?  Bring in your life force energy and let it ignite you!  The being within you has so much passion and desire to share with others for the greater good.

Yes, we are all connected.  However, many have suppressed their feelings walking around saying that everything is going to be all right.  The remaining has repressed their feelings into nothingness; feeling numb.  The bottom line, the focus of nothing became a perspective of failure or not enough.

Many of you who become aware will explore this nothingness.  The confusion during this time is when you tend to lean towards what more you can give.  The expectation becomes the primary source to allocate our energies into fear.  The journey is then complicated with doubt or ego.

Revolt and give yourself permission to experience this time in your life differently!  Stand up every day as you practice in each moment making this difference.  Yes, an experience.  Each moment is like the snowflake; “nothing more than nothing”, to allow yourself to be imperfect. 

How many times have you responded, “I am nothing.  I am not doing nothing.”  Or someone asks how you are feeling and the response is “nothing”.  This is such a throw away comment -- we all say it at one time or another.

Many times you say it because you measure yourself by accomplishments or with other people.  Goal setting is wonderful but it is easily changed by events of circumstance.  You then correlate it with what you didn’t do. What more could you do?  The cycle of nothing continues evolving around the doubts.

“Permission,” you are thinking, “I do give myself permission.  So how would it be different?”  You easily become wrapped up in the repetition of making the same mistakes.  What is lost is a part of you.  You become unfocused, captured by your self-fulfilling prophecy in motionless time as life surrounds you each day.

Switch!  Use your life force energy as the fuel of your existence.   You can easily resist it because it is like the snowflake.  It is time to eradicate all the experiences that do not allow you to be vibrant.  Be the core, the heartbeat of a nothingness that awakens and lives life itself as if there were no tomorrows.

“Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”~~Albert Szent-Gyorgy.   This is a positive realization of your soul my dear friends.  You allow your connection to others to become more defined.  Intimate relationships are no longer at a distant.  Only love will thrive.  Fear is the past to remind you to consistently be in motion.

Yes!  Participate.  Live life!  You make the difference in your own life.  Take the beautiful human being you have transformed into and transmute into this wonderful energy.  You will awaken to what energies you have suppressed or repressed where you have lost you somewhere.

You are a beautiful soul playing in a human body.  You exist and matter to all that is.  Become passionate not only about life, become passionate about who you are! 

Your life force energy is creation.  Take it and use it to create a rhythm of loving yourself and be in ecstasy.  Ecstasy of knowing the gifts you have to offer from your heart.  It is the same feeling you feel looking at a newborn baby.  Life is around you every day.  Choose in and lift up your hearts for others to ignite as well about their life.

It begins with you.  Open up and accept the insights within your soul.  You are someone who exists in this time and can create from nothing.  It begins with respect of your soul.  Stand firm within your boundaries without compromising self.  The compromise is when you surrender to give up.

Imagine simultaneously connecting to nothingness.  The combustion of energy would be enormously invigorating.  YOU touch lives without the words.  In doing so you will be noticed; you will not be invisible.  No longer will you need to hide.  This is not an illusion or delusion, this is your life.  It’s the breath of life.

Step into this breath and feel revitalized.  You have done great!  No matter what your expectations are, the assumptions no longer becomes a possibility, eliminating taking anything personal and you are true to your word.  How exciting is this when both soul and human can experience this together!

Be the essence of your sexual energy, allowing your intensity for your desires and your passions to awaken you to the truth.  Truth within the electromagnetic fields stored within your DNA, cell memory and your soul. 

You are extremely a wonderful creature of nothing.  The nothingness created through your love that you give to others through a smile, a touch, a look; the attraction of life itself is extremely sensuous.  You are that being!!

Again, take a look at the person who is surfing in the pictures.  He definitely experienced something grand in the second photo so different from the first.  Imagine yourself feeling the risk, excitement, fear, doubt, boldness, joy; whatever you want to experience in your journey!  You may find it consists of every single adjective for you to live your life differently, yet plentiful.

Here is a challenge that you can use as a practice.  Sketch out a timeline for yourself.  Look at what you did in five years, ten years and fifteen years.  List under each one significant change, life lessons or achievements you have made.  Then take and circle one under each timeline and experience it differently.
