I am standing on the edge of something grand. I can feel it in every cell of my precious body. Courageous and curious; fear and uncertainty still lingers. The sense of change has swirled around me for over a year. Like the wind, this pending change remains in motion as I stand on the edge debating what to do next.
The choices are simple, yet very complex. Consideration of the risks weigh like a cinder block at the end of a rope plummeting to the bottom of a lake. Wait, is that an illusion that I created to remain ‘here’ or a reality society has instilled to hold us back from our grandest adventures.
Indecision, and the fear associated with making the wrong decision, is the sludge we traverse from time to time. It’s hard to navigate and seemingly impossible to know which direction will lead us to firm ground. We intuitively know, stagnation deflates creativity, self-worth and converts passion to unrecognizable rubble. Indecision convinces us that deserve to be motionless. Stuck.
The choices, when we turn inward to our inner compass, are simple. There is a divine order for all that’s happened up until this very nano-second. I believe this. I know this. I accept this. The question is no longer why me; over the years it has transformed to how will I best utilize this situation and be of service to others. I choose to look for the ways I am capable of making a difference in my life experience, then the lives of others for the highest good for all.
Both of my sons have taught me valuable lessons in life and in death over the past twelve months. Taking care of myself first before anyone else, including my grandsons, became clear. I cannot be of service if I cannot take the time to rest, love and value my soul, and tend to my role in my own life.
The choices, when we allow, are simple. With unlimited resources for answers outside of ourselves, overwhelm exacerbates indecision. Fear-freeze sets in and we become paralyzed; afraid to consider the options before us.
The answers we seek are within us; this is not a cliche’ nor popular phrase of the week. We get tripped up, confused, scared and consumed by the opinions of others. The pivotal moment occurs when we know, without a doubt, that no one else can do it for us. Our words have power. Our footprints share our stories with the ground beneath. As you gain awareness of the edge, it is solely up to you the direction you will live life in motion.
My choice is to be of service through the various platforms I have created and patiently wait to develop. I feel the power within our words and am a witness to the stories we weave. We (the contributor writers) are the teachers, coaches, gurus, individuals that have first-hand knowledge of what it means to live life in stagnation and in motion. Our audience intuitively knows we are teaching what we need to learn. Join us as we continue to explore the elements for a healthier life.
