Inspired Action

Are you flowing freely in your life? Or are you frozen in your life, afraid to take your next step? Or are you stubbornly not letting go of the anger you feel?

"So remember, living in a state of anticipation...this is water. And hopefully that anticipation is like a really wonderful feeling of exciting events in the future. But we always say your greatest gift can be your worst nightmare for every element. So this excitement for life can also be dread and terror for life when life is potentially delivering bad stuff in the future. "

One might be like a still pool of water and one might be like a rushing river, and those two don't seem alike at all... but wait a while, a couple minutes, a couple hours... time doesn't matter to water.
