I am a certified Feng Shui Consultant with the
International Feng Shui Guild. I am
constantly amazed by the rewards this Guild has brought me: new perspectives, valued friendships and
different opinions that make me appreciate this ancient art more and more every
day.
Yesterday we had a particularly
interesting discussion regarding those times when you seem to be handed one
piece of bad news after another. There
are a million clichés like “when life hands you lemons ... make lemonade” (or
margaritas ... yum) and “everything happens for a reason” etc etc etc. My favourite so far, was advice from another
Guild member. She said she always looks
for the positives, assumes the best and inevitably, even the most challenging
situations move her forward. Her advice
was “Just lean into it.” I LOVE that! Those four words seemed to instantly resonate
with me – they remind me that sometimes taking control over your situation is
done by relinquishing control and going with it.
It’s empowering, a bit daring, it works in every situation (good and
not-so-good) and it is now my new motto.
Now the task is to find the perfect spot for that quote in my space so
that consciously and unconsciously I am always reminded of it.
Do you have a saying or words of wisdom that
have impacted you? If so, do you have it
on display somewhere?
