This is the "being
yourself for a living" newsletter, coming to you from
Johannesburg, written by Robin Wheeler, to keep in touch and, in this
issue, share my thoughts and insights on:

Here is a simple truth I have found for living a full life: give
everything your all. Live in the present and give all of yourself.
Don't hold anything back for any reason.
We have many reasons for
holding back but the truth remains that this
costs us our flowering. So we have to drop the reasons and engage with
life fully. This means giving all we have in each moment and not shying
away from experience.
If we hold back, we are
spiting ourselves and the rest of the world. We
are depriving both of something essential and wonderful - our
potential and true beauty. We can have many valid reasons for this but
none of them justifies the loss.
When we hold back, we
can't move forward. We hover increasingly in the
stuckness of unexpressed energy and unfulfilled potential. The blockage
gets bigger, thicker and heavier, and becomes more and more difficult
to shift. This is the miserable world of the ego: a big, blocked
tension that gets self-satisfaction from problems and that suffocates
our true selves.
When we engage fully and
give 100% of ourselves, a number of wonderful
things happen. First, energy moves. Things happen as they should. We
are not resisting, so there is full flow and no stagnation. The wonder
is endless and there can be no regrets. New life is coming every moment
and we are open to it.
Second, as a result, we
can keep growing and living optimally. We can experience
the next moment to the full because we have experienced the previous
one that way. We can wake up to each sunrise anew and face each day
with excitement because we have lived the last one and let it go. We
are not clinging.
Third, we trust life. We
are not resisting and stagnating, we are in
the flow, so, as part of the whole, we enjoy oneness with it. We can go
deeper into this trust and deeper into ourselves with every moment and
every experience.
Everything becomes
fresh. We become fresh! We begin to discover
ourselves as we really are. The world of potential and the world of
action meet climactically and cathartically in the present moment and
we surf the wave of living to the full.
Everything is as it
should be: colours are brighter, feelings are
fuller, meaning is abundant and love is all around. We are wealthy. The
music in
everything comes through. Every act is a song straight from the heart,
your heart and the heart of the whole.
By giving your all, you
wake up from the dream, the sleepy state of
socialisation. By waking up, you become yourself, and by being
yourself, you achieve all you were meant to.
Simply by being yourself
and giving it your all, you fulfil your destiny.

Speak to
you in the new year.

"Far between sundown's finish and
midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing.
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing."
Bob Dylan
