Wind Chimes

How fast are you moving to pursue your goals?  Your pace will dictate the sounds that you hear when you reach certain milestones.  Think of wind chimes as a way to measure your progress.  The harder the wind blows, the louder the chimes will sound.  Is your effort comparable to a soft breeze, a mild gust, or a strong gale?  There is a time and place for each level of intensity. 

A gentle breeze will cause the chimes to sway slightly and provide a harmonious tone.  There is no significant disturbance to cause a lot of noise.  It is important to know when to move in the background as opposed to out front.  Sometimes you can have a greater impact by treading lightly and not disrupting the environment. 

A mild gust blows hard enough to move the chimes in a steady, rhythmic motion.  The pipes collide with one another and produce a continuous clang.  The contact is hard and is about maneuvering for position.  Do not let people run over you or push you around.  Your thoughts, words, and actions have value.  Focus on the self worth that you determine, not the conditional affirmation from others.  

Strong gale force winds are normally present in damaging storm systems.  In those situations, the chimes are whipped around so forcefully that they may break apart or blow away.  Extreme pressure can cause things or people to behave in a destructive manner.  Don't let the chaos of outside conditions drown out the voice of your wisdom and common sense.

  1. A mild gust is definitely where I am at in life. I used to be submissive to words, and actions of other people but, my thoughts today are centered around me, my family, and people that matter in my life. The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts. Gail
