Splash of Delight

Through my life I have allowed myself to move and work in step with up-to-date information about myself and the effect that my work is having on me. I believe that we can do this, dictated by where we are up to in our lives, in order that our work, way of being, values and current ideas are a match.

I have moved from being a travel consultant in the corporate world to embracing a mother in between), into a new business that was built on the exciting premise that we are the source of the joy and freedom we bring to ourselves and our world.

In each case, I found there was a time to close a chapter in order to open a greater space that matched my current way of being. In each case I was fueled by an energy that came from deep within. In each case, what I did to earn my way was what I loved doing, and was chosen from a deep place within me. It is this attitude and approach that I believe is vital to embrace fully if we are to live authentically and add to our wellbeing and creativity with each step. Sourcing change from a place that fuels our delight and adds vitality is a key foundation that, if adopted, would see us all vibrant with our own aliveness and doing work that engages our whole being and encourages us to live creatively.

With each change I have followed the same blueprint and direction – living as the source of my vibrancy, joy and delight, and embracing change from the very core of my being. This is the place where my decisions come from.

Remember the times as a kid when you scrambled into your bathers and, with delight, jumped into the swimming pool making a gigantic SPLASH! You didn’t stop to consider the impact of this burst of enthusiasm on others; you just followed your natural impulse to express delight. It is that urge, that impulse to live with delight and liberation that I invite you to remember and create. This is the journey that I have followed, and it underpins my life. Keeping my attitude and approach to life in step with what fuels my delight, has been profoundly satisfying and uplifting.

Embracing change from within and igniting that spark of undiluted ‘me’ that gives me life is the blueprint and the pattern that we all need to follow. And enrichment will always be the reward. I have always found it so.

Possibility is ever-present and it’s fuelled by desires that arise from the core of our being. Engaging with that urge, that impulse, to live fully, live freely and express my magnificence with a SPLASH! is what I do and invite you to do as well.

 Are you bursting with enthusiasm for yourself, and your life?
 Is there any aspect of your life that evokes this whole-body response?
 When did you last SPLASH! with delight?

When you add movement, new awareness and authentic choices into your day every day, moment by moment something begins to open. You open – and Life gets bigger, fuller, and increasingly abundant.

“When we let go of what confines us, new possibility is already emerging.”

I have made all these points over and over with others so, in 2006, I had to listen to myself, once again. The kids moved out, I cleaned out my stuff , moved house, gave the dog to a friend who loved her and my new business was born – business cards, website, joint ventures, marketing plans, venues, courses, books planned (best-sellers, of course) articles published, newsletters, blogs (blogs!!).

When you alter your pace and your rhythm and let go of your validations, rationales and beliefs from long ago, you embrace change. Change brings vitality, and an ever-fresh newness about things.

In our late teens and early twenties we put an extraordinary effort into defining ourselves and our values, beliefs and direction in life. We believe we have created a blueprint that will create ongoing happiness ‘forever’ –but as many of you know, ‘forever’ is not forever, if happiness eventuates at all.

So, if your natural enthusiasm is fading (or has long gone), don’t be content to live with yearning day-by-day, year-by-year; convert this into actions that stimulate your senses and your involvement, and then step forward boldly in the direction of creating something new that you have a real enthusiasm about, whatever it is.

We all know the delicious feeling of falling in love. There is a whole-body involvement that says ‘YES’. Recapture those peak experiences. Live by promoting your aliveness, and be involved with what you create. You will have much more vitality as you stop ‘waiting for life to improve’ – and create, create and create.

Do something for no reason other than your desire to do it. Do not discuss, rationalise or ask permission. Just do it! Because you feel like it.

Remember: the more you change your patterns, the more you create space to discover something new. Give yourself permission to enjoy life. Be creative. Delighting in your newfound freedom and spontaneity feeds your spirit.

Whilst celebrating my engagement in my newfound venture, I know that I will continue to live my life with a willingness to create increasingly vibrant spaces according to the dictates of my inner truth. My life is a gift that I celebrate with ongoing attention and creation and I choose not to take anything for granted, except my capacity to create my joy and aliveness. © Jenny Werbeloff 2008
