Last week, we shared on making change. We invite you to have a read. We now continue on the theme of change this week.
Jenny says…
Picking up where I left offer in making change and The broadCAST, as individuals there is this power of change for the better; this strength within us to be able to conjure up the unthinkable.
Some may look at us and think, “boy that is far-fetched”, or “she must be crazy to think that is possible”. Who is to say really? Do you think for a second that the life you have dreamed of living isn’t realistic? Well, let me let you in on a little secret… it damn well is.
As you all know, and I feel I have shared openly, I have been on a journey of self-awareness, self-love and self-respect. I have taken my years of not knowing certain things about myself…. and, as silly as it may sound, I didn’t realize how much control I actually had over my own life, and how I could alter my life by making such minimal changes.
I have quickly seen that, in the time I began to be aware of my surroundings and the little choices I decided to make differently than I normally would have in the past, things began to change in the most beautiful of ways. It was like a full-on metamorphosis. I was drawing these beautiful energies into my space. If it wasn’t pure my life kicked it out.
These changes that were taking place were subtle at times, but subconsciously I was beginning to make changes throughout every aspect of my life. I began to speak highly about myself. I began to surround myself with people that I admired or that I felt I wish I could be more like. I wanted to be in a room filled with smart people. I wanted to feel like I could learn something from the ones I connected with.
Over the years, there were many new beginnings and in the meantime some things had to end. They fizzled away because my energy was now so positive that either the new beginnings fed my spirit and soul, or they had to go. I was finding myself more aware of how things filled or depleted me. I was mindful of the choices that I made because of this new-found awareness and self-realization. It was a breath of fresh air, but at the same time kind of scary.
I got more to follow on that…
Barry says…
Have a read on this on initiating. Change requires change. And change requires Initiative. Such requires us to be mindful of our surroundings and the needs and our capacity to respond. Initiative is grounded in the practice of Mindfulness, Assertiveness, Resourcefulness and Helpfulness.
It is also grounded in Responsibility; our ability to respond… our taking ownership. Read this on Peacefulness and the importance of taking honest ownership. I find myself reminding myself… that I have but one life of which I know. How precious is that? To assume, consciously or unconsciously, that I have “all the time in the world” is a lie. I do not. Our lives in this world are finite. That resource is limited. How many freakin’ reminders do we need of that? Our lives are precious commodities. Going through the motions, with little regard to the life our Soul calls us towards, is a true waste. That does not imply some crazy sense of drive or hustle. It does imply flow. And flow, requires change. It requires a new approach to living. It is called being. A wolf gets better and better at being a wolf, by being a wolf. It learns as it goes, but it’s intention is to be a wolf.
Change does not require us so much to change who we are as it requires us more and more to be who we are; and the world can perceive that to be us changing. But, it is more about us shedding our skin… and making the necessary sacrifices.
I, too, have more to come. For now, consider what you truly want… and what you are allowing to occupy your life that is standing in its way.
Peace, passion, prosperity, and a whole bunch of Love and Character
