I
heard the following recently “I am is a statement of being”. I thought wow this is a very powerful
statement and it really made me stop and think and ask myself some questions. A statement
of being, how beautiful, it is a simple statement of existence. “I am” is a statement of truth.
Perhaps I should explain the context of the
conversation that I was having. The speaker was
explaining the format for a monthly meeting that
I will be leading and he said when you introduce
yourself you must say “I am the Leader” of this very
wonderful and remarkable Group Meeting. He
asked me to specifically promote myself with these
words. The point being I am the Leader who is
someone that should be looked up to and respected
but without ego.
A few of the things that I have dreamt of and have
now achieved;
• Become a Scuba-Diver
• Perform a Sky-Dive
• Voyaged on a round the World Trip
• Trekked in the Himalayas
• Stroked a Dog (I had an inexplicable fear of them)
• Own my own home
• Work for myself
• Read The Alchemist
There have been many times when I have hoped
and dreamt about undertaking or achieving a
particular objective or goal for myself. When the
time arrives and passes and I have achieved my
goal, I seldom stop to say “I am now… (insert
statement of truth”, I have achieved what I set out
to. I tend to look forward to the next goal or dare
I say complained a little because it did not go quite
how I envisioned or would have liked. How often do
we even acknowledge the steps that we have taken
to achieve our goals? I rarely stop to celebrate what
I have embarked on, become or achieved. Think of
the joy you get from achieving.
Some of these are small and some of them are
huge but whether they are small or huge they are
important to me and for each of these I can now
say I am or I have done - A Statement of being and
truth. Did I celebrate them? Perhaps not all of them
and certainly not in the way that they warranted
being acknowledged and celebrated. We are often
looking for the next “I am” without acknowledging
the journey we have made thus far whether short or
long, hard or easy, momentous or a flash in the plan.
Join with me and celebrate your truth, existence,
achievements and journey no matter what they are
and let’s not take life for granted.
