…but never an impossible task. The only true impossibilities are the challenges never taken, the parts of us never claimed or discovered. The word rubicon means, in essence, to make an irrevocable decision, a point of no return. In the space of which I speak, we must make a decision to be in that space of being one with our decision. Claim our whole selves; our good stories and our not so good. They are a part of us and what brought us to where we are. That’s called commitment. The back and forth between committed and not, hiding who we are and losing control, will destroy us both physically and mentally, and bankrupt us spiritually.
“Once you make a decision the universe conspires to make it happen.”
+ Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a concentration of power generated in making a decision. It brings all the parts of us together and unites our faculties to meet the challenges at hand. It’s hard to get directions when you don’t know where you agree going. It’s hard to be on a clear path when you are divided. Search within. Get to know you and your desires/goals, then set your GPS and go. No matter how rugged the terrain, you are well equipped to make the journey. The map is inside. Whatever it is, it came to you to come through you. Your success is contingent on using all of you, the good, the bad, and the so-called ugly. Claim it all and use it. It is all you! It’s for you not against you. Rise to the challenge and be what only you can be, in order to do what you do, the way only you can do it. I’ll see you when the smoke clears…Trust the process.
