Heidi Firth I had a wonderful chat with a friend this morning. We sat on the rocks down at Freshwater Beach, and soaked in the magic of where we were. I said to him, “I just can’t get enough of this, I wish I could dissolve into it”.
We were talking about all things human and experience orientated and the funny old ways in which we will look at life and our experiences.
He took the example of the fresh ocean lap pool, and how we might look at it and say “Ooh I bet it’s cold in there”, forgetting to look at all the other elements that exist. ie there were two other swimmers enjoying their laps, there were free lanes available, the sky was nothing but blue, it was fresh & invigorating, the morning was truly stunning! One example – but I’m sure we can apply this to any area of our lives.
This reminded me of thoughts I’ve been having about my recently published “Who is Heidi Firth?” story. Recently I called my Mum to tell her that the story was up on my website – for all to read. I’d projected how this might potentially land for her, and anybody else that may read it from the small town that I grew up in. One of the thoughts I’d acknowledged before my call was that the story sounded all bad. It focused on those “Monumental Moments” that had shaped me to make the person I’d become in the world. But these past few days, I’ve been thinking about how I failed to share the really great stuff. The stuff we often forget about and forget to have gratitude for.
So this mornings catch up chat with Dan, has inspired me to wipe the slate clean. I am going to remove the original “Who is Heidi Firth?” story, and write the new revised one. I’m going to flip the perspective, because that story is OLD news now, and not who I am today.
Time to Inspire & Be Inspired. xo
