Be an Island Mind Map

Imagine you have woken up marooned on a deserted island. Just you and a beautiful island; full of stunning flowers and abundant fruit and vegetables – rich sand, sun, sea, air, freedom.

No smog, no hum; just peace, tranquillity and calm; a passing cloud and a singing bird.

And the check of your wrist confirms your watch is not there, the sun tells you its day, the sky hints at morning.

No phones, no buzzing, no ringing; just stillness – all around you there is peace.

And the moment seems “perfect” – you can’t go back or forth – just this. Pointless resisting – this is all there is.

No boat, no plane, nothing to take you away; so you surrender and breath.

And you wake up truly this time, at home; the power of thought – the wonder of a dream. Reality beckons, yet somehow you can still catch a glimpse of the vision of that timeless moment.

That timeless moment is now; it hasn’t left.

No stress; just this, surrendered to now, accepting what is.

On a deserted island the choices seem clear, many already made for you, some gone for good. Here, the same choices still remain, deep beneath the distractions on the outside lies a place of ownership, of responsibility – where you set the limits and the boundaries and make your selections.
