Take A Walk With Nick

Hey, folks, how you doing? This is Nick the poet. Thanks for taking a walk with me today. Sorry I'm running a little bit late. Had some technical difficulties. But let's get right into this. Maybe you want to take a walk with me around the block. Maybe take a walk around your kitchen. Maybe just do a few jumping jacks. Anytime we can kind of move a little bit. I know that. It always helps me. So, yeah, I have a message for you this morning. This is something that I definitely don't practice perfectly, but hope you find some inspiration on this.

Good work. Good work. You. You have tried and you have failed. You have tried and you have failed. And still you forge ahead through fears, through uncertainty, through doubt, through shortcomings, through challenges. And you keep showing up. Not always perfectly, maybe never perfectly, but perfectly imperfect. Good job. As humans, I believe we are divine in nature, but we are also human beings with all of our fears, foibles, contradictions, inconsistencies. And some days we're filled with these great visions and dreams, and some days we're just putting 1ft in front of the other.

We are all on the spectrum, somewhere between survive and thrive. And that is why connection and going together is important. When you are thriving, you can help somebody who is surviving. When you are surviving, you can help somebody who is surviving. That might be a typo, but either way, whether you're surviving or thriving, we can create things together. So I don't believe it is an either or proposition. It is a yes, and both end. So being human sometimes means being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

But it doesn't matter, because we're all there to give each other grace as we walk this journey. So I'm sure whatever you're doing today, you're doing an awesome job because you're doing the best that you can. The best that you know how right now. And like from the book, the four agreements, you know, sometimes we always want to do our best, and some days that looks differently than other days. So just remember to, you know, have some ease with yourself. You know, give yourself a little positive self talk.

I know the more serious that I get, the kind of the less better I do. I could work really hard, but kind of have that light attitude, and it is super beneficial. So I'm going to just kind of go in with some poetry for you today and stick to that. I haven't been on in a couple weeks, and I haven't just read some poetry in a while. So here's one for you. Life is glorious. Every moment packed with beauty. Where am I looking? Who am I? Show me the answer, if only for a moment. That's not all I want.

But it is all I need. And for that, I am grateful. So there's a one in 4 trillion chance of being alive. I thought this as I gazed at the sky. What a miracle. My mind and its buckets of lost time and fears about the future can distract from the fact that life is amazing. I've learned that all is well in the heart from the start. The path of unconditional happiness lays before us all. Sometimes we do this surviving. Sometimes we do this striving. And sometimes we are, in fact, thriving. Bird by bird, we go and embrace the flow.

But I think that it's important to ask for help and to receive. I think that the universe is truly always conspiring to help us and heal us. It may just not be the method that my ego prefers. Today, I try to let go of how I think things should work and feel inspired to see the world anew. What an exquisite. That's a good word. An exquisite pleasure it is to be alive, whether I am in the mode of survive or thrive. So you see the theme today, we're all somewhere in that spectrum from survive and thrive.

I can always look at the sky and realize that happiness comes in the blink of an eye. So that's what I have for you today. I hope whatever you're doing, you have an awesome day. I'm wishing you a lot of peace, positivity, prosperity, and. And any other p word that I can think of. Did I say positivity? Let's go with positivity today. Let's be as positive as we possibly can and while still remembering. We have a lot of work to do, but we could do it together. Okay. Talk to you later. Bye.
