Chasing Shadows...........

 

 

Having spent many hours watching, studying and being entertained by our pup Isla it occurred to me how much like the rest of us she is.

 

Her day consists of eating, sleeping, digging holes in search of some lost treasure and of course the obligatory chasing of shadows.

 

The thought then came to me, are we a product of our environment or are we individuals, if the latter is true then why do the same patterns occur, why do we behave in similar ways ?

 

Our day consists of eating, sleeping, going to work...........but in a lot of ways, we are all still chasing shadows, still digging holes looking for that illusive treasure in the hope we may set ourselves apart from the crowd, in some way be different from the rest of the world.

 

One sad fact is that as much as we try to be individuals and different, we want to belong, to be the same, blend through fear of sticking out and possibly alienating ourselves from the world.

 

Much like our pup Isla, we may or may not grow out of some behavior patterns, eventually losing interest and moving on, realising that they are only shadows, a tiny reflection of what was, something that has been distorted by the right light and the right conditions.

Create your own conditions today........I dare you to chase shadows up a wall, to dance like you are the only person alive and fully appreciate your beauty as the individual you are !

Have an awesome day.
