Live your dream “NOW”

What is it about the urge to bask in a beautiful oasis that intrigues us so much? Is it the sway of palms dancing in the warm breeze, or the sun drenched days that never end? Maybe it’s the allure of the traditional Mexican food and music? For me it comes from a deeper inquiry into reality itself. Instead of living in life’s waiting room, dreaming about when life is going to start, I am wasting no time in living my dreams right now. In fact this moment is the evolution of “the dream”.

Visiting Cabo about 5 years ago for the first time, I remember feeling so in awe of the sunrise that turned the air purple and seemed so surreal. The cactus so unique, with a shape that makes you feel like you are on another planet. As a skateboarder in Vancouver, BC, I quickly took full advantage of the surf and the many beach activities that were seasonal in the “rain forest” that I was accustomed to.

Now I spend my days teaching functional exercise, kick boxing, and yoga on some of Baja’s most breath taking beaches. My focus is in drawing people towards a balanced state of mind while releasing stress and becoming aware of the beauty that is right here and now. I promote the health of the body and the mind to help my clients experience increased energy, self-discipline and the personal confidence to get what they want out of life. This is the most important part of being here, remembering that your dream has arrived and to give thanks each day by acknowledging your participation in your own happiness.

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought” Buddha.

On the “vision board” I created a few years back, I drew a picture of myself teaching yoga on a tropical beach. This reality that I live now was once just a thought that I gave my happy feelings towards. What is your dream feel like? Focus on it, because the statement that the Buddha made almost 3,000 years ago has proven true time and time again.
If you are still unsure of what your dream feels like, take a hike up one of Southern Baja’s many mountain peaks over looking “The Sea Of Cortez” and watch the whales jumping out of the turquoise water, it might be a good place to start…
