the big white elephant

Feat of clay: Gazelles keep their distance from this elephant in Namibia whose colour is down to dried white clay because of having a bath at a watering hole:

Sometimes all it requires is to remove the big white elephant that is blocking your view to a vaster landscape of beauty.  The big white elephant can be anything that does'nt seem to be creating any value in your life.  Remove it and you will actually feel and sense freedom and you will wonder why you never thought about it earlier.  

The truth is we never think about change till the discomfort of the status quo is almost crushing us. It is also very possible that we do not even think or imagine that we can actually change a situation because it appears to be there by default.  But look closely at your life on the outside and you will find all the obstructions to your being YOU has always been right in front of you but since you have gotten used to looking at a dead end, you forgot there's scenery behind the elephant!

For me the big white elephant has been those interactions and connections that have neither created nor added value to my life. I have had to let them all go.  No regrets. All are forgiven.  All can move on with no obligation whatsoever. Once I started giving myself permission to do what I needed to do at the risk of so-called loss in every area of my life, I found the courage and committment to start a new path of change.  Change is always constant. It is necessary to stir up a storm at times, to shake things up a bit, to stir the pot, so to speak.  

Says Colette Baron-Reid, Spiritual Teacher, Psychic and Writer: 
"Not all storms are destructive. Rather, they serve nature by bringing rain to the ground and wind to the trees, enabling seeds to be widely distributed and continuous growth to be ensured." 
Change is always good any which way you look at it.

Namaste!
