“I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? …”                                                        -Leonard Cohen

I hear again and again from our clients at Be 8nfinite that the notion of surrender that is so much praised in all spiritual traditions seems contradictory to planning one’s life, designing one’s destiny and intentional living. That’s why I feel the need to explore these ideas a little further here with the intention to bring more clarity on them to our audience.

As I am gazing at the fire and immerse myself in its warmth, I recognize the fullness of life at this moment. I recognize how this moment is perfect in every sense and every way. I am one with life… with the entire existence. I feel my fullness through this sense of unity with all that is there. I am the universe…Om So Hum!

There is power in how we choose to begin our day. Beginning your day in reaction to ‘what was’, limits you and your life. But starting your day with inspiration or ‘what can be’, is liberating and can help you expand to your highest potential.

I was finally able to complete it yesterday. It was such a joyful feeling when the colorful lights came on. This year having the Christmas lights hanging on my porch was the result of a two-week effort as simple as this process may seem. I brought the Christmas decoration box from the basement in mid-November and decorated the pot on the porch and hung up the wreath and the bells.

It goes back to my early childhood. As a visual person, I discovered and started to enjoy drawing.  I used to draw and paint endlessly and for that I had scrap papers available or A5 size thick drawing spread sheet meant for children. I also had pencils and magic makers to make these drawings more colourful and joyful. However, I always longed for having those A4 size drawing books with white paper that my older sister used to paint on. I was mesmerized by the beauty that could be created on those big white sheets.
