H2O is the shit.
Yeah, I know...random thought.
But hey... it’s true!
It’s my favorite substance on Earth.
I can drink it and feel energized.
I can boil it to cook my food.
I can shower in it to feel fresh and clean.
I can swim in it to exercise my body.
I can freeze it to keep me cool.
And so much more...
H20 is clearly the bees knees, isn’t it?
As I was thinking about it more today, I realized that H2O is like a wise spirit.
It gives and provides us so much, and if you pay attention to it...
You can learn a lot from it…
The Wisdom of H2O
H2O is always in a state of change, just as we are.
In fact, the only constant in our life is change.
For H2O that change comes in three different forms: water, ice, and vapor.
Each of these forms are very unique to each other and represent very specific qualities.
I believe that if we paid more attention to H2O, we could consciously utilize the qualities of these three forms when we need them the most in our lives.
H2O can teach us so much… if we pay attention to it.
H2O Teaches Us To Flow
Regardless of what the circumstances are, water always finds a way to flow.
H2O teaches us the art of movement and flow.
Such as a pitcher of water...
When it is poured into a glass cup, the water automatically flows to fill into the existing potential space.
It doesn't have to think about what to do, it just flows there.
The water finds the most favorable position for itself by remaining fluid-like.
Now what do you think life would be like if you were fluid-like?
Water teaches us that we can find the most favorable life experiences that exist in each and every moment.
By letting go of our rigid expectations and beliefs, we can feel into each moment and flow into life as it changes its form.
How wonderful would life be if even the worst of times could feel fulfilling?
Have you ever thought that?
Can you imagine living a world where you felt alive and free, regardless of your circumstances?
How incredible would that be?
I believe that water teaches us that we can have this ability.
We can live in a flow-like state.
We can truly fit the form that we are provided with.
Water teaches us that we are incredibly versatile and fluid beings.
When we embrace this nature, it doesn’t matter what is happening outside of us…
We just need to remember our natural ability to flow through it.
H2O Teaches Us To Remain Strong
What happens when the world gets too cold?
Water strengthens into the form of ice.
H2O teaches us how to find true strength even during the harshest of times.
Ice is an incredibly strong substance.
When it is cold, ice rules the roads.
It’s strong enough to weld a door shut tight.
It’s powerful enough to freeze over a lake.
And stable enough to remain in a perfectly solid form.
When we find ourselves in situations that push us to our edge, ice shows us that we can remain stable and strong, regardless of how difficult or intense the conditions are.
Ice shows us that we are more powerful than we think.
Each drop of water that connects and freezes, shows us the collective power that is available to us.
When we join forces and work collaboratively, we can form the strongest structures and foundations on planet earth.
Sometimes in life, we just need to hold strong, and H2O teaches us that we are fully capable.
H2O Teaches Us To Let Go
When things heat up and begin to burn down, water begins to dissolve into a gaseous form.
H2O teaches us the art of letting go.
H2O knows that it cannot hold onto every experience forever.
It knows that there is a time of new beginnings and endings.
When those endings come, vapor knows when to let those experiences go.
In our lives, we often find ourselves in situations that end unexpectedly.
Sometimes, we try to to hold onto them… whether it be marriage, a business, a dream, or a lifestyle.
But with every beginning, comes a time to end.
Vapor shows us that it’s okay to let go of who we are in order to find ourselves in a completely new way.
It shows us that by letting go, we aren’t a failure, we’re just changing form.
Laura Lefurgey-Smith @lauralefurgeysmith
It’s this change of form that allows us to lift up from situations that may feel rigid, stuck, or scattered, and move into an entirely new world, with an entirely new set of circumstances.
By embracing our ability to let go, we create space within our life to find the space and the lightness of heart to embrace our next experience.
Sometimes, we just need to let go and H2O shows us that it is okay to do so.
When In Doubt, Follow Nature’s Lead
Some people say that there is no instruction book for life.
While that may be true, it’s my belief that the keys to living a fulfilling life are hidden in plain sight.
By merely observing the simplest things in life… such as water, ice, and vapor, we can learn so much about ourselves.
Humans may still have a ways to go before we truly figure it out.
On the contrast, nature seems to already have its shit together.
Sometimes I ask myself, what would happen if we paid more attention to nature?
If we did, we might find out that we have the ability to flow regardless of circumstance, to strengthen during the harshest of times, and to let go when it’s time to move on.
Embracing these qualities allow us to live a more fulfilling life.
And a life that reflects the true nature...
Of who we really are.
Do you feel like life is similar to H2O in your own experience? If you were to pick one form that you feel you are experiencing right now in your life (water, ice, or gas), what would that form be?
