The last two weeks have been pretty intense, rather uncomfortable and all created solely by myself. I got stuck in a "can’t do, nothing is possible" mentality, which seemed to overpower me until I decided enough was enough and had to find a way to shut myself up.
The end of this mini episode resulted in me having the level of clarity I needed to put the plans for my dream lifestyle back on track and this song. I am becoming more aware of my unconscious thoughts and beliefs; my internal map of reality and I’m totally excited by what I notice about my everyday self. I notice something I hadn’t seen before nearly every day. The more aware I am of these less-than-beneficial ways of being, the less I am able to perpetuate them. I hope that makes me a better person to know. I know it makes me feel like a better person.
The possibilities in life really are huge. You don’t have to have a life’s mission that is global, but if it is what is truly in your heart then you will have a positive effect on the world around you and live a life to be proud of. Think about how you would like your children to be influenced by the kind of life you lead. That always puts it into perspective.
I Can’t Lose
Once you get into something you really love and make it your function in life then you are a success, no question about it. Forget any outside notion of what success is supposed to be. Success is the feeling that you are actually here fulfilling a purpose in your life, which in turn will make you generally happy about life. The irony is that if you take that leap of faith and be brave enough to follow your heart, despite apparent obstacles, for example lack of money and having bills to pay (change the record please!) you will find that lack of money will not be a problem. Those success stories you hear where people followed their dream and came close to giving up when they hit rock-bottom, but just past that point everything came together. those stories are real. It’s how life works. It is, you could say the test in life. Are you able to live by the code that is the human experience and succeed? Well I believe everybody is capable regardless of your situation. I just wish the education system focused more on how to create the life you want whilst enriching this world for other people instead of telling them to stop daydreaming and focus on what is supposedly important.
Enjoy!

Had to hear it twice. Really like the organic folky feel.
Only twice?
