So I’m in Providence last week, taking my morning walk along the Seekonk River. IMG_2703
It’s crazy foggy outside, I can barely see.

It’s also a bit muddled inside my own head as my personal demons are having a bit of fun with me. They’re throwing doubt, questions and other negative energies onto my expectations of my Thailand pilgrimage.

I can’t seem to shake them.
And then, out of the morning haze, appeared these 2 beautiful swans.IMG_2708
My wingman sense was tingling, so I asked if they had a message for me. They didn’t say anything though, so I laughed and thought how silly of me. They’re swans, of course they didn’t have a message for me.

THEY WERE the message.

Yes, my inner wingman had outdone himself.
Showing me such grace, strength and beauty, not to mention a great pair of wings. They were striking.

Snapped me right out of my funk and then, as if that had been their purpose, they disappeared back into the dense fog.

The message seemed clear enough. Look for beauty, wherever you are.
Even when the air is so thick it seems like you’re looking through pea soup.
More importantly, find your own internal strength, grace and beauty.

I thought it a great message for all of us.
And a fantastic exercise we can easily do.

After all, the more we practice looking for our own strength, grace and beauty, the more we will see it.

Give it a try. Take 60 seconds, and practice seeing, feeling and knowing your inner strength, beauty and grace.

Btw… I’m taking off for Thailand today.
I’ll keep the emails coming as best I can and you keep practicing your positivity.

You’ve got this, it’s your year to shine.

To Finding Your Inner Swan,
Michael
