So many connections on so many continents in just one day of awesome flow! =) Connecting Pamela & Ivan – which was a perfect match. Awesome convo with Daniela, leading to an experiment with a 4-day work-week of 1-hour work-days.
Awesome email from Toronto, thanks to a serendipitous meeting on Day 100, touching the stuff that is currently swirling around in my mind. An email from Sweden via another serendipitous contact that goes a few years back – and that email was about… serendipity & connections.
So many things falling in place – or rather me creating the space for all the yummy things to fall into. Ah, the flow! =D
So, I met up with the Arnold Schwarzenegger lookalike from last week’s crazy Malaysian trip. We played another round of pool (11 games), this time at way better tables. “You’ve been taking lessons, haven’t you?” he said. “Nope, the tables are better here” I replied.
Then I lost game after game after game. Heard myself thinking “no problem, I learn a lot” which I really did because I allowed myself to try out new techniques. Looked at the way he played and was surprised. I’ve never seen anyone put so much energy in making it harder for the opponent, instead of focusing on his own result.
I asked about his choice of strategy and the answer I got was about something completely different; my way of playing. :) He told me how I was playing ten times better than our last session, that I got way ahead of him – and then started sabotaging for myself.
He brought up a whole theory about me not believing that I can win, which is why I start messing up as soon as I get ahead. “In your face, baby” I said to myself in my head. There I was analyzing him – and he just flipped it around. Gave me some food for thought.
It’s interesting how accurate the saying ”how you do one thing is how you do everything” is.
Hm, I could take this blogpost in so many different directions from here. Instead I’ll stop it right here. Oh, wait, it lead to him putting me in touch with a super cool chick doing fabulous performance coaching. Serendipity at its best. :)
And the score? 9-2 to him and as he said, I lost more than he won… (Darn eightball!)
Learning parkour is now officially on my bucket list! :)
Autopilot or adventure
Life can be lived on autopilot; walking in the same way, driving on the same roads, talking about the same things, thinking the same thoughts. Every day is just same, same.
Life also has the potential to be an adventure, I can choose to make it whatever I want to. I enjoy living in flow, finding new perspectives, using my body in different ways, challenging my mind to expand.
Oh, how good the awesome guys in the video above demonstrates the way I feel when I step over the edge and allow myself to follow my inner voice, to be all that I am, to live as an adventure, to flow through life like water.
