Live more Consciously.
When (and if) we choose to live more consciously, we are extending an invitation for heightened awareness and growth in our lives. However, growth and comfort are seldom good "bedfellows" - so we must be prepared for a bumpy ride filled with exhilaration and trepidation. It is similar to the thrill of a roller coaster.
Imagine purchasing your ticket, waiting in line, muscles tensing as you anticipate the impending drops and turns. You might find yourself gripped by dread as the coaster climbs higher, wondering if you have the fortitude to go through with it. But once that first plunge hits, once the adrenaline courses through your veins, you are addicted. You scream in fear as gravity takes hold, but emerge revived and exhilarated once you survive - immediately craving another ride.
Each day, we are presented with a choice: take the safe, well-trodden road we have traveled countless times before, or veer onto an unknown, seldom-explored path. We must make bold selections if we wish to inject passion and vitality into our existence. We can choose to step out of our cozy comfort zone and do something wildly out of character, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant the act may be. Feel the rush of adrenaline at the very thought of being so boldly alive! It could be as simple as striking up a conversation with a stranger or trying a new artistic hobby - but if it pushes our boundaries, it will be utterly life-changing.
Success or Sabotage? Will you choose success and growth, or will you allow your ego's negative self-talk to sabotage you, convincing you to remain confined in your limited "box"? Are you willing to challenge yourself simply for the sake of the experience itself, with no attachment to specific results? Can you embrace vulnerability and uncertainty, letting go of your desperate need for safety and control?
Is this going to be an incredible day? Will today be just another day, slipping by unnoticed? Or are you willing to take the risk and truly live - allowing yourself to be stretched, galvanized, and perpetually transformed? The world awaits those brave enough to purchase the ticket and strap themselves in for the ride.
