A feeling of deep fear for the unknown, doubting if it’s better not to act at all,
what results in a paralysed body, creating a prison for life energy.

When we see someone ‘not doing’, if that’s even possible, we as a culture seem to have all sorts of opinions about it. Before you know it, we define ourselves or others as lazy and prejudge harshly, instead of seeing what it is in essence.

We are energy in motion, always transforming to create new experiences, but we will never know exactly which emotions they will bring. Even though we can imagine a lot from previous experiences, it will always be a surprise how life unfolds. The not knowing is what scares us. So, in attempt to avoid pain, failure, humiliation or other discomfortable feelings, we think of reasons and all kinds of catastrophic scenarios, convincing ourselves, not to do the work. Insecure about life, ourselves, not trusting the work in essence, a never ending love story.

What’s behind our inaction is a mind that’s making it all way too difficult for us to start, a prison filled with dreams, trapped energies in our bodies, longing to flow through us and to be expressed, wanting to be in motion. Eventually the love for the expression and the fear of not living at all, will be stronger than the fear of doing something that maybe will be a ‘failure’.

We often seem to think we need to know everything before starting, not understanding how life works, unfolding, ever changing, always growing, step by step. The first step is to start and to trust the next steps will come on the way.

I envision a world where we support each other in realizing our dreams, give compassion towards laziness by truly understanding what someone is going through. It’s in our nature to go on adventures and to discover the world within and around us, so let us free our energies by celebrating the doing, instead of the success. Let’s accept all emotions as part of life, so we can play and create together our dream world.
