It seems that living on an island time evaporates like the tide! The days fly by and when you only do bits and pieces of work each day starts to feel the same. Mostly like a Sunday. Everything moves slower, time constraints are non existent and an afternoon siesta is simply part of the daily routine.
You only have time and time alone...alone as in only and also time on your own.
You can do as much or as little as you need...and with time as your only asset, it seems that the side effect strangely enough is the "losing track of the days", or feeling that the days come and go.
Whilst being on an island sounds magical it seems to have the unintentional implication of making you a bit lazy. No deadlines, no pressure, no push no shove.
Who thought I would be saying this out loud let alone on a blog available for the whole world to see.
I know that drive comes from with in (knowing clearly in your mind your purpose and of course your highest values). Unfortunately we are mostly motivated by the fear of something happening if we don't do something or the fear that if we do something x or y will happen. While this may be the case, it is also the necessary evil in order for us to keep pushing and striving in order to learn more about ourselves, why we are here and what keeps that flame inside humbly flickering.
To have no challenges, no distractions, no conflicts, irregular human interaction would be the end of our everyday suffering but the beginning of a life half lived. Having said this bold statement - out loud once again - it can therefore be said that in order to find balance we must grow spiritually in order to determine our balance in order to find inner peace and harmony with our place in the world.
Allot more can definitely be said for the pros and cons of living in a busy city or on a small island...perhaps experiencing both can help you see a little more clearly why in either situation getting to know your self is the most important seed we need sow and grow. So irrespective of logistics we remain grounded and true to our inner nature.
While some may thrive on hectic schedules and deadlines, others may crumble and vice versa. Leaving people to their own devices and running to their own schedule and timeline may result in a life of unfulfilled possibilities.
Our journey is our own expression of what is.
