The long weekend beckons

A long weekend is before us all and most of us are rushing around going WOO HOO with the reprieve from the regular 9-5 that is the norm. While a long weekend might be an exciting prospect for most, I generally find myself questionning it all.

I mean what is the point? Giving people a break from their normal existence when, in reality, they are simply going through the motions and waiting EVERY week for the weekend. How many are going through the motions - unhappy with their existence. It is sad actually.

Imagine if we all got to do what it is that we truly wanted to be doing ALL the time, each week. The world would not shift on its axis or anything but there sure would be a whole lot more happy people wandering the planet. The world would be a much better place if people were happy to wake up every morning excited to be getting on with their day. Would everything get done that needs to get done? Sure because there would always be people willing to do the things that others were not interested in doing anymore. The job that you go to and hate every day would be snapped up by someone else who would be more than happy to do, until they chose to do something else.

Perhaps I'm being simplistic here but in my world, that is what I envision. If more people actually were honest with themselves and took a leap of faith and tried to move towards what it was that called to them they might just get to do it........what they wanted to be doing. But, unfortunately for many of us, the thought of actually doing what they want seems to be such a daunting task that they just don't even make the effort. And that is what we HAVE to do. Make an effort to move beyond our previous limitations and LEAP......Is it scary? You betcha but at least you try.

Sigh.........Anyway, I'm off to end something that I have been doing for the last little while and not feeling particulary aligned with it. Even the thought of going there today makes my stomach flutter as I am just not into it anymore. While there will be some that are a tad annoyed that I am stepping aside, it is the right choice for me. Someone else will step in to fill my place as it is time for me to open to new horizons. I am ready and have been for quite some time, but I held on hoping that it would somehow miraculously BE what it is used to be. But nothing ever stays the same and it is time to move on.

So get out there and enjoy your weekend. I know that I will. Lots planned and new beginnings beckon. Change is the only constant.......Always.....

Blessings and Aloha
