Life is like an echo... echooo... echooooo....

Caves. like life, are mysterious and sometimes scary
People often say life is like a mirror - it reflects back to you what you put into it. Relationships are a mirror. You get what you give. 

I think this is a nice analogy that can really help us to remember to give well and to treat others as we wish to be treated. However for me I like the analogy that life is like an echo, down a deep cave. Whatever you shout into the cave is shouted back at you, after some time delay. 

Life is like an echo - what you send out reverberates back to you and to others. Echos tend to multiply. 

I was thinking about this as I said one of my morning affirmations: “Life - Is that the best you can do!? Rubbish! Today give me everything you got!” 

If this is what I am projecting out into the cave then that is what shall be asked of me later by my returning echo… but multiple times. 

“Neil - Is that the best you can do? Rubbish! Today give me everything you got!” "Rubbish... Rubbish..".
“You do not see the world as it is. You see it as you are.” -  Anais Nin 
Wow! What a strong message. I now think carefully before shouting out what I want. We live in closed system. What you put in at one end will come out at the other. So what I intend as I shout is as important as what I shout. What I read will affect me. What I eat and do affects that. I can therefore make good choices about what to input and then what I output. This helps me choose what to do, eat, read and say... they all inform my thinking.  

So here is today’s shout:

“I love you - thank you for doing your best. Keep going - you can fulfil your dreams! You are already enough, but feel free to help yourself to more.”

We never really find out what is at the end of the cave - it’s a bit like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. It is full of wonders and probably ends up back where we started. What we put into the cave comes back around and may smack you in the ass!

At the edge of the cave and inside the cave are infinite possibilities and wonders
