The first one: A Soul in search
Welcome!
Really glad you are here. Get yourself a hot cup of coffee or tea and a mind and soul would be additional. Find a good spot to sit and get comfortable. There is a lot to talk about.
I will cover many terrains of life. Some of it is easy. Other parts are a little bit more complicated. They take some time to navigate. For these parts, you’ll need to pause. You’ll need to think about your own life and reflect. It isn’t a race. There is no prize for getting done quickly.
Some things might make most people feel uncomfortable because we are breaking the rules a little bit. There are set on and agreed-upon ways of seeing things. Some of these agreed-upon ways are not accurate. They wrongfully make some of us feel bad about ourselves. We don’t even consciously consider them. They just kind of sneak in under our radar. I am going to bring them to your awareness and talk through them with you. I don’t want you to have to continue to carry a burden that you can drop beside you.
I will also provide you with the understanding and skills you need to move through worry and fear of the life your heart desires. I will teach you how to face and overcome problems so you can unlock the hidden gifts they contain.
For now, however, just a couple more thoughts for you personally before we get started. True, I do not know you personally, but I’ve been thinking quite a bit so I likely have a pretty good idea of who you are. That being the case, there are some things I need to tell you right up front.
I believe in you. Maybe you don’t see your potential, maybe you hide your promise, or maybe you make life more difficult than it needs to be. It doesn’t matter. I still believe in you. You can grow through these challenges and get to the other side.
I am not interested in judging you. Your life makes sense. You make sense in the larger story of your life. We all have regrets. Some of these regrets are our fault. Many are not. Remember, hindsight is 20/20. We do what we do with what we have. I’d ask you to let go of the past now and make a fresh start moving forward. The next page. A brand new direction.
Realize that personal growth is not easy. It isn’t a straight line. Growth is challenging. It comes in fits and starts. You’ll struggle, you’ll have hard times, and sometimes things won’t make sense. This has nothing to do with you. This is just life. This is how it is.
Many people like to pretend life is crystal clear. It isn’t (and it isn’t clear for them either). Life is often confusing and feeling unsure is pretty normal. This is what it feels like to be human. And, because you are human, you are going to make lots of mistakes. You won’t stay on the path. You’ll get lost. You’ll get distracted. That’s okay. When this happens, just brush yourself off and make your way back to the path. Don’t spend any time beating yourself up. Just pick yourself up and take that next step forward. The path is always there. It is always waiting for you.
