Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, the one day of the year…
Footprints
A friend told me recently that how you spend the first twelve days of a new year are important to set the tone of the year, so I decided to start my new year with a yoga workshop with Sat Siri on New Years Day and then head to Byron for some Byron magic.
Whilst here I’ve been thinking about the footprint we leave on this world, because we all leave our footprints. We all have different footprints we want to leave and we all have different Achilles heels that we need to battle to make our mark. Some of us want to make our mark in our work lives some family, others through travel, service, art etc. Joseph Campbell calls it our heroes journey and Paulo Coelho writes about it in the Alchemist and calls it finding our personal treasure. However we want to leave our footprint we must go through the battles and learn from these battles in order for us to succeed. I strive towards embracing the beauty in my vulnerability, being of service, living from an open compassionate heart, being kind and conscious, bringing the best out in myself and others and supporting them in their endeavours to leave their chosen footprints. I want to leave a footprint as a human being who made a positive difference in people’s lives and I want to live by what I teach. It’s a work in progress, as it will be for the rest of my life, as whilst I live I always have the opportunity to learn and grow.
So, what footprint would you like to leave? And what are you doing to make it happen? Food for thought..
Don’t forget this month for Monday nights only, I am gifting you with one free class for you and a friend for the month of January to say thanks for supporting the studio in its first year.
