The Magic of Willpower


When I was looking for a photo for the cover of my book, "The Magic of Willpower" I had a path in mind, something that symbolises our life journey, a bit rocky, a bit uneven. The scenery is beautiful as we progress along this path, which is not always smooth, and sometimes full of obstacles. But the grass is green on each side, and the colours are brillant and vibrant as we live in the present moment. 

The blue sky is a reflection of our inner peace, a sense of calm and purpose as we tread along this road full of surprises. Green is the colour of motivation, our inner drive. It's the colour of things that grow and change and become more of what they are.

The rainbow is very important to me as it is the hope of good things to come. It also reminds us of the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow, a reward that seems elusive because we fear we might never get there to enjoy it. But the pot of gold is here right now. You can have it any time if you live your life with full awareness, one moment at a time, while focusing on the now. And now is the only time you have. It's the only time you have to think and dream and to live your dream.

Whatever you want to achieve, you can do it. Just because you haven't been able to do it so far doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future. It's not the past that defines you. It's not the past that drives you forward. It's the present moment. You are now paving the way for your future.

With love,

Bella
