Life — Stir Gently or Shake?

Today, take a minute (or more) and think about should you be stirred gently or shaken?

We all have our methods of getting where we want to be.

Some say it is about patience.

Yet, how often do we just feel like we can’t wait any longer?

We want to “shake” it out fiercely. Shake out the outcome. In cocktails, bartenders say “shaking” can bruise the spirit. Interesting analogy. Bruise the spirit.

I certainly don’t want to bruise my spirit — but often, I do want to shake the heck out of my life.

And there is a time and a place when we need to shake it up. Much like blending a cocktail. Some need to be stirred gently to achieve the proper blending.

So, what do we do? Those of us who just can’t leave our comfort zone — may need a shake-up.

Those of us that dive into every phase of our life vigorously, like Pooh’s Tigger, may benefit from trying to approach life more gently.

Take a minute and think about what would be best for you right now.
