An Invitation

Life is all about invitations. And choices.

Everyday we receive invitations, to meet, to eat, to work, to play, to be.

Whether we recognise these invitations or not is neither here nor there.

They come.

And guess what the best thing is?

We can and do create these invitations.

In fact we create the invitations everyday, they are our creations whether we are aware of it or not.

A chance meeting can only look like a chance meeting. But on some level that’s what we wanted more than anything.

We are constantly choosing the invitations we receive. We choose everyday what life we will have, who it will involve, how much money we deserve to earn, everything.

We even choose the bad things.

Why? Because they help us in some way.

We are the architects of our own successes and failures.

If we are met with failure, it is merely an invitation to look more closely and grow.

Each time we mend, we mend stronger, but we mesh differently, more healed. different.

Ever heard the expression, “I felt different”.

How often is it the beginning of a wonderful story?

A failure is never a failure.

A success is never really a success.

Just a choice.

We can be there at the centre of it, eager to learn, the ready student.

Try not to get seduced by your own story. No matter how compelling it seems.

The soul reveals itself in glimpses, invitations.

Be aware of these and always know it is a chance to go deeper.

Maybe a chance to start a business.

Learn a new trade or just do something because we fancy it and don’t really know why.

We can always learn from everything and everyone.

There is no such thing as a wrong turn.

And it is never too late or too early.

If you are ready, you are ready.

Give life a chance and see what can happen.

Create an invitation, make a choice.

With Love.
