The stuff of life keeps swirling around, but in the centre there is You

Hello travellers and welcome to the ABTY Blog,

If you are a regular ABTY blog reader, you will know that of recent times I have had a few challenges to deal with in the physical world. But it is through these challenges I have been able to redefine what is truly of value to me and that is predominantly a life spent focusing on the good and bringing a little bit of joy into the world.

Whether I am teaching my Dance For Parkinson’s classes, teaching classes for teachers bringing the arts to the disabled, teaching tap dance with Tapatak Oz or writing these ABTY Blogs – my focus is the same. Bringing JOY to the Planet.

And thusly, this is the focus of today’s blog.

Through all the turmoil and bluster that life can throw at you – just remember that in the centre of this – is YOU. And in the centre of You exists a purpose and focus that is particular and unique to You.

I know this may sound a little trite – but it is true.

No matter what is swirling about out there in the world – you can choose to simply stay true to you. To focus on what matters to you. And to hold your ground in a world gone mad.

I sometimes turn on the television, or pick up a newspaper and think to myself– what is going on?

Is there no compassion or common sense in this world anymore?

Have people really lost the plot?

What sort of world have we created?

But then I come back to me and realise that I can choose to hold my centre and be the person I want to be, despite all this chaos swirling around me.

And you can too.

You can choose what you watch on the television.

You can choose what activities you participate in.

You can choose what topics of conversation you engage in.

You can choose what you say about other people.

You can choose to not participate in things that are hurtful to others.

You can choose how you treat those around you.

You can choose how you live your life.

You can choose who you spend your time with and doing what.

And you can choose to exist in this world, even in spite of this world, in a way that is fully in line with your own set of values and what brings you joy.

It is as simple as that really.

In the swirling chaos of life – there can be You.

The You of your making.

The You that stands his or her ground and makes a difference in a positive way to the Planet as you perceive it.

The You that holds the balance of power in your life, in your actions and your experience of the world.

And more importantly – the You that chooses how the world and the Planet will experience You.

To this end, I have taken to visualising myself inside a great golden dome of light.

This dome holds in all my positive energy, intentions and vibes and deflects any negativity that comes my way.

I choose to only invest my energy and time in people and projects that align with my own values and philosophy on life, and leave others to living their own truth.

I choose to stand tall and proud within the chaos – holding true to Me.

And today – I encourage you to Hold True to You.

For like I said at the beginning of this blog.

The world around you may be swirling and chaotic – but like the eye of the storm – at the centre there is You.

Calm and still and centred in your being.

So find your stillness. Exist within this stillness. And be resolute in your ability to maintain your calm within the chaos.

#DiscoverYou, #LoveYou, #BeYou
