Taking the lead
Today I awake to a new reality. It hasn’t been an easy few days and I suspect that there is still more to unfold in my personal life.
I was witness to the aftermath of a child that had been physically harmed. I look at the child and I realize, she is the younger version of the women that I meet with in my office. The ones that are stuck in their lives and riddled with health issues. The ones that keep the secrets to keep the myth of the intact family ‘intact.’ The ones still pretending and making up the stories that their families were good people. I so understand wanting to believe the stories that we create. Who wouldn’t we want to be loved and accepted for who they are?
I think of this young woman and I have hope for her that her life will change now. That she doesn’t have to become one of the women who holds on to stories and ends up with health issues or worse.
Sunday at my women gathering I had said that I could sense that something huge was going to be happening this week. I didn’t know what it was and I knew that it was going to be transformational. Wow. It has been.
When in our lives to we take the lead and not wait to be lead? If I waited to be lead, a little girl may be in the hospital or worse. Be the change that you want to see in the world. Gandhi said it and it’s true. When is it that we finally tire of the old stories and stop repeating history? When do we look back on our past and simply say, “I’m Done.“ When do we look back and say, “That was then and this is now. And… keep moving forward and looking a head instead of constantly looking back?”
If I ever needed proof that things have to change and I need to be the one to take the lead…In My Life, I now have the proof. I saw what I saw. I choose to take the lead and change my life and by doing so, others get their lives back. If you’re so hell bound bent on ‘doing’ something for someone else, Then Reclaim Your Life and Get On With It. Take the lead in your life so that others can see the value of stepping up to the plate and moving forward.
If you notice the way our feet and heads are potioned on our bodies, best pay attention that they’re not pointing backwards. We as human beings are meant to Evolve and that requires moving forward…not back.
Creating Space to Consider Life Differently
Taking the Lead,
