I’d like to share some thoughts about dying. Not dying in the way we think about “our last day” but dying – to become someone new.
Isn’t it true, that at certain points in our life, we want nothing more than to be that butterfly – wanting to spread our wings, share our gifts – without impediments. This desire to expand beyond our current state of mind manifests intensely when we are going through an internal transition.
Think about a time when you were in transition. Maybe you just went through a divorce, there was a death of someone close to you. You want to quit your job, but you don’t know where to go next.
Did you ever feel as if you were in suspended animation – on a trapeze – swinging in mid air – dying to find the next swing before you jumped? But it’s nowhere to be found. You’re scared to death, and for good reason.
We don’t realize that before we can change, become someone new – there is a dying process first – a letting go – of whom we were in the past.
This dying is simply the death of the ego.
Sadly, I know people who’ve become catatonic, deeply depressed, and suicidal during this time of uncertainty – because the thought of letting go of who they were – the thought of stepping into the unknown – was excruciatingly painful. The juxtaposition of their heightened desire for what they wanted and the fear of taking the next step was so debilitating, they couldn’t budge. They couldn’t see or feel the net.
So, the question is . . . How can we move into, and through this transition, gracefully – to re-create ourselves?
One way, is to have a solid, unparalleled experience of the future we desire. Because, unless we know what our magnificent future looks like and feels like, the one we truly want for ourselves –– we will never manifest it.
When we align with the vision of the future that we want to create for ourselves – when we can SEE it and FEEL it in the depths of our being, it transforms every single decision we make in the present. It transforms the molecules in our body. And depending on the quality and clarity of that vision, it can literally become a magnet that pulls us right smack into its magnificent vortex.
Would you like to take this journey?
For the last 20 years, I have introduced an exercise that gives people a glimpse of their future via an exercise I created called: Aligning With Your Souls Calling. It is an exercise that brings tremendous clarity to your work and to your life.
If you would like to take this journey, go to: www.HolisticPR.com and order the the CD – Aligning With Your Souls Destiny. Become clear about the future your soul has intended for you to experience, not the one your mind has become attached to.
With great respect,
