Every once in awhile, I hear myself saying “It feels so close, it is like it is on the other side of a curtain”. And, by the way, I am trying to figure out where the opening is so I can get to the elusive other side! So now I am here again, feeling like significant change and growth is only a curtain away! However, this time I am much more aware that I am the one creating the change AND the barrier (read curtain) to reaching it! Our purpose, passions, interests and desires drive us onward. While at the same time fear, resistance, apathy, procrastination, and confusion can easily keep us standing still.., treading water so to speak. Sometimes it seems as if I lack the experience to do ANYTHING new in my life! These thoughts come from the small voice inside my head. This voice keeps me locked in place, using any and all limited thinking or beliefs. Fear of the unknown, resistance to changing what is comfortable, or stagnant with indecision! I know these thoughts so well. |

Yet there is this other voice. This other calling, that comes from a different part of our anatomy… Be it the Heart or the Soul, it comes from deep within us and it has a persistence that maybe delayed or denied for a short time, but, that draws us forward. Perhaps as a dream or vision of how something in our life could be. This voice knows who we are and who we are becoming. It is our calling, it is our purpose. We know it is there on the other side of the curtain. It is ready to be revealed. It is ours as soon as we are ready to receive it! NOW WILL SOMEONE LIFT THE DARN CURTAIN!?! Guess what? We create the curtain and put it in place too! We control how quickly it is lifted. We designed the whole thing. That means if it is too heavy to lift or if it is done with the push of a button… It is our creation. And even as I write this, I am aware that sometimes we put more emphasis on the barrier or curtain than we do on what is available behind it! It’s time to lift the curtain… Time to remove the veil. And the only way we get to do that is by choosing and moving forward. Our Dreams are already here, it is the curtain that conceals them. It is the curtain that is an illusion! SO… What are we waiting for? |
