“According to the law of Dharma, you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.” - Deepak Chopra

Each and every one of us has something very special to add to the mixing pot of life. Usually it is deeply buried beneath heaps of shoulds and oughts. Somewhere inside us is a small flame of truth which knows what is best for us and can tell the difference between duty and compulsion rather than guidance and intuition. Go with your intuition. Learn to trust you inner guidance. Your life will change for the better and so will that of those around you. 

This week I spent 4 days on a RYA sailing course. Although we had boats when I was a child I had never sailed before.
The first day I wondered what on earth (or water!) I had got myself into as it was strenuous and confusing!
However, by the end of the course I had found a new love.

Most interestingly, as in life in general, it was not so much the learning of new skills but the challenges that arose and the character traits these brought out that produced some wonderful insights into my life.
I found a previously very much submerged competitive streak during our final afternoon races! I am also much more aware of how much I like working as a team member and yet have the capacity and willingness to 'take the helm' and give directions too.

All in all I feel I have had a life enhancing experience which has changed my attitude to how I will approach situations in future.
