Make it Happen

Ever since I saw @beachyogagirl post a photo of a double hollowback on Instagram, I have been searching for the perfect tree, the perfect partner and the perfect opportunity to replicate it. I finally found all of those things a few weeks ago whilst teaching on a retreat in Normandy.

But it almost didn't happen because a) it was drizzling b) it was the last hour of the retreat and everyone was busy packing and c) we were all feeling a bit worse for wear after our late-night farewell party!

But here's the thing - I really wanted this photo. I had already scoped out the perfect tree on the chateau's grounds. I had the perfect partner - Arnaud, a fellow yoga teacher from Paris. And the retreat's (un)offical amazing photographer @Billiesrawkitchen was willing to take the photo so the opportunity was there!

It would have been easy to allow all the excuses to triumph. I would have just told myself it was a shame, but I would do it another time.

But NO. I cast aside all the excuses and just made it happen. We got out in the rain, I rushed back to pack and I finally got my perfect double hollowback shot :-)

What if we did this every moment of every day? What if we chose to cast aside all the 'buts' and just made things happen? Just imagine that, or better yet, try it out... Our best life is on the other side of all those excuses jut waiting for us. Now let's go get it!
