What's your story? The one that everything you do, every person you love, every heartbreak you feel, every job you take, every place you live, every temptation you succumb to or resist, every thought you have, every dream you dream, reinforces your Self as you know it? "How did this happen?" If you find yourself asking yourself this question it might be a good time to be thankful that this "this" actually happened. It seems bewildering and often overwhelming that the events that seem to happen around us, to us, near us, against us, at us, in us, and because of us, are in their very nature inherently invitations. These moments offer the question, how would I like it to be? Take a breath now. Really. Do it. There you go. Good. Now, this question can be applied not only to your overall perspective but also, and most importantly, to the moment at large. Enough of these moments at large stitched together add up to the big picture of You. Let's focus on now. That being said, opportunity is not around the corner, around the bend, at the end of the tunnel, or out there in the future somewhere. What is it about letting go of who you think you are that feels so...scary, exciting, exhilarating, overwhelming...liberating? What is it you want to let go of and to what is it you want to move towards? What do you get excited about being if you were the you you'd love to be? How does that look? How does that feel? What if you could really choose what you wanted without letting anybody down, without needing to prove anything, without hurting or disappointing anybody, without fear of losing something? What if...? What is it you want and why are you busy wanting it instead of experiencing it? What are you getting out of waiting? If you don't know what you want, how can you find out? What does it take for you to live the life that you dream of?
