ACCOMPLISHING MUCH!

” I remember early on how my grandmother would encourage me to envision even the smallest dreams down through my hands into the world.  She would say, ‘See it here,’ pointing to my forehead, and then she would take both my little hands and say, ‘Now see it here.’  Then she would laugh and say, ‘And soon, it will be here.’  With this, she would look around the room. 

For through her love, wasn’t Grandma creating me?  Don’t we help birth another the instant we encourage them to see with their heart?  Don’t we help birth the world each time we give someone confidence to build what they see with their heart? “

From: THE BOOK OF AWAKENING  Having the Life you want by Being Present to the Life you Have  by Mark Nepo

REFLECTION:

  • Reflect back… was there someone,  who through their love helped to ‘birth’ you?  Who was it?  How can you thank them or honor them for this support?
  • Is there someone you can help ‘birth”… give them confidence to pursue their dream?  Who is it?  What will you do?   DO IT!

WAKING UP

Waking up, you may discover that your slumbering soul may have a plan for your life that is different from the one you had planned.  Perhaps you are discovering that your purpose has a much simpler requirement for living.  When you wake up to your purpose, you may realize that to heal your life, you must live that life that is yours to live, not the one society, our parents, spouse, friends, neighbors, business associates believe you should lead.  You have an internal guidance system (intuition/still small voice) that is there to counsel you, provide direction and support in your life decisions.  Letting go of who you thought you were will make room for who you really are to emerge.  

My own thoughts and reflections based on THE ALCHEMY OF FEAR    How To Break The Corporate Trance And Create Your Company’s Successful Future by Kay Gilley

REFLECTION: 

  • What are you learning through this time?  Do you have much simpler requirements for living? 
  • Do you need to let go of who you thought you were to make room for who you really are?
  • What does this look like… begin to write about it.

PREJUDICE

Yellow and Blue Poison Dart Frog

Prejudice is a great time saver.  You can form opinions without having to get the facts.

Quote by E.B. White

REFLECTION:

  • Examine some of your prejudices.  Do you have all the facts?
  • Is there another perspective you are not seeing or willing to see?
  • Are you prejudiced against a  person or group of people? How can you recognize this person/group through a different lens ..see a different set of ‘facts’?
