… Aren’t we taught that mobility is freedom, whether it is moving from state to state, or from marriage to marriage, or adventure to adventure? Aren’t we convinced that upward mobility, moving from job to job is the definition of success?
There is nothing wrong with improving our conditions. The catch is when we are asked to give up our voice in order to move freely, when we are asked to silence what makes us unique in order to be successful. When not making waves means giving up our chance to dive into the deep, then we are bartering our access to our authentic self for a better driveway.
Quote by Mark Nepo THE BOOK OF AWAKENING Having The Life You Want By Being Present to The Life You Have
REFLECTION:
- Do you own your voice?
- Do you give up or give in in order to fit in/move up?
- What has that cost you?
- Are you willing to continue to sacrifice you for “a better driveway?”
