Time to Talk – A Mindful Journey

As you walk...
feel the fresh air on your face, 
hear the sounds around you, 
the chatter of birds maybe, 
the distant sound of a tractor perhaps, 
ploughing and sowing new seeds. 
You too are a seed that strives to grow to your full potential.

As you continue to walk...
notice your colleagues, 
friends or family, 
coaches or guides, 
walking beside you, 
and as they offer words of encouragement, 
feel how much easier the path becomes, 
less rough and stony, 
more soft or smooth under your feet.

As you reach the top of the hill...
take a deep breath in, 
and in awe take in the view before you; 
a wide expanse stretching out before you, 
a future open to all the possibilities.  
Your view is no longer narrowed by your challenges, 
you are free to choose your path. 
Free to grow, unlimited.

Take another deep breath...
and keep walking towards your own horizon.  
You will get there, 
one step at a time.
