A few years ago I took a trip to India to shoot a film and to take some time exploring one of the most full and colorful cities in the world. Once I arrived in India, I discovered my real joy came from the many adventures I created while I was there. From the wild rickshaw rides with 180-year-old drivers who could put the Nascar drivers to shame, to playing hide-and-go-seek with the children of the slums, to being chased by ten monkeys for taking a picture of them when I was told not to… and the list goes on. One morning at five a.m., I sat on the Ghats (ancient stairs) in Varanasi watching the pujas, as my exploration in India was coming to an end, when it finally hit me. Life is ALL about the journey. Ah-ha! This was a new perspective I could easily take into my every day life. Instead of being so focused on the GOAL or the mountaintop, I could slow down and be in the NOWness of my current life adventure. You see, I have noticed a pattern within myself, and our society in general, that we have become so obsessed with the destination – the career, the money, the car, the perfect relationship. We end up missing what’s happening NOW, operating ten-steps ahead of ourselves. There is so much magic when we allow ourselves to be present to the Sacred Uni-versal dance that is happening at all times. Let’s collectively get off of auto-pilot and PLAY! As I continue to practice mindfulness, like I did in India, life becomes more and more fun. There is something about you that the world didn’t give you, and the world can’t take away. You ARE an emanation of the Divine. A snowflake. A miracle. YOU are the sacred sands of infinity. Here to release your gifts and talents in a way that cannot and will never be repeated! Today there is someone who can ONLY hear from you in exactly the way you express yourself how amazing they are. Someone today is waiting for you to walk into the coffee shop and say “I love that color on you.” Stand as the unprecedented miracle that you are and bless the world with YOU! #loveLouder #LovesVoice
