THE ART OF BECOMING

It’s not for the faint of heart. 

Most of the time we don’t “become” (authentically and positively change from the inside out) unless we feel forced to by life circumstances that are so painful we decide it’s time, that we must become something we’ve never been--or at least thought we weren’t. But! We can also choose to do so through conscious decision and commitment to Self-awareness. 

It takes great courage and trust to step off the well worn path of one’s family, clan, tribal and societal identities and to leap into the inner space of one’s larger being, into the unknown of one's infinite Self. It’s foreign and therefore frightening, and though we are all fortunate enough to have  models and possibly even mentors to walk beside us along our own sacred journey’s path, ultimately we can only do this alone. 

But we don't have to make this journey. Many people aren’t aware that such a journey even exists. Most of us choose not to undertake it even though we receive multiple invitations and intuitions to do so. We feel there’s too much at stake. So why do it at all? 

There are as many reasons as there are ways to begin this from-this-moment-forward odyssey but all of them are grounded in moments of deep personal discovery when we learn something pivotal about ourselves--something new and empowering. Subsequently we realize that, now that we know this, we can never go back--but neither can we stay where we are. We simply must go forward. At first we may feel we must enter this journey into our true Self just to survive. Soon however, we realize we want to do so in order to thrive--and we are compelled to do nothing less.

Where do we begin? Doesn’t matter because we will never fully finish or arrive. At least not in the sense we think. (Actually, to begin this journey is to arrive.) We can only step onto this merry-go-round when we sense the slightest of openings, the faintest of leadings. But they most surely come to each of us . . . maybe even constantly.

LET’S GIVE THE WORLD & OURSELVES A GIFT.

LET’S TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE THINK.
