The Switch
This morning, I decided to swim in the lake, I went down to the small beach, got in the water and looked at a distant spot that I would swim to and then swim back. This would be far enough I thought. However, as I was swimming I thought about a friend of mine who, when she visits our lake house always swims right round the lake. It takes her just over an hour, and I always think, “wow, she is amazing to do that!”
As soon as I had the thought about swimming round the lake, I knew I was going to do it too. Because if not today, when? it was like a goal I secretly had…swimming round the lake would get rid of my fears of swimming alone for one thing. Or getting cramp in deep water, or being bitten by a large mouth bass–right–like there is the Lock Ness Monster in the lake!
So, I was half way round and then I saw a couple of hawks perched on a garden bench under a tree. At first I thought they were plastic, then one of them turned its head and looked at me. I was just floating in the water now, about three yards from where they were. I saw the spots on them and the rings on their tails. Wow…is this a sign or what?
And yes, it was a sign for me. I remembered that I can do anything I set my mind to. I can enjoy the moment and allow amazing things to come into my life. Like two hawks perched on a bench. How amazing is that? And when I got to the office I had these emails asking if Jeff would do a couple of keynote talks! I really do believe that our energy and our thoughts create everything in our lives. So swim, walk, go for a bike ride. Be healthy and only allow great thoughts to take seed in your mind.
