WHO'S THE MAN IN THE MIRROR
I’ve been absent from this blog for just over a month. I’ve been struggling with areas of my life and haven’t found the words to express myself… until now.
There’s a saying I offer to aspiring writers that seek my advice. Here it is: If the desire to write is not immediately followed by the action of writing then the TRUE desire is not to write.
Last night it occurred to me that I could replace “write” with anything and take my own advice. Frankly, that truth/discovery surprised me.
As I looked at my life, specifically, the areas that have been a challenge, it afforded me the opportunity to face the disturbing truth: I was not taking the immediate actions necessary and required to manifest my desires.
That propmpted me to query whether or not the desires, in question, were that of the 37 year old standing before me in the mirror or some other version of myself (a younger version of myself).
I have come to the conclusion that I need to rexamine my desires, my dreams, my expectations…that I need clarity from the 37 year old that lives within this physical form.
It’s terrifying to accept full responibility for yourself and to acknowledge that you have been operating on auto-pilot. But, I am ready to face those fears and live life by design and to truly live as a deliberate creator.
