Awaken Right Now…
And so it begins…the blog that has been stirring in my mind and heart for quite some time now. Up until now, I’ve been not quite sure, ready, or even brave enough to write it, but thankfully, it’s niggling got the best of me.
Although I often thought about creating this blog, I always had a volume of explanantions for postponing it’s conception. Indeed, some of these were valid reasons to cause me to shy away from the steps necessary to create my blog. At least they were legitimate in my mind, anyway. But on closer examination, they were mostly all just blocks I self-created to excuse myself from trying, and perhaps, (the dreaded word that we in the West were taught to avoid)… failing.
Why Write Now?
Like many, I get distracted easily, and sometimes I lack the strength and fortitude to do what I know, in my heart, is the right thing.
Yet,
Each time I do make the right choice, that quality of life muscle gets stronger.
Each time I see someone else do something admirable or heroic, I am touched to do the same.
Each time I read something that focuses on the path less traveled, I am inspired to bravery.
Each time I am given a tool that helps me find the part inside of me I had forgotten, life gets clearer.
Each time I take inspired action, it all gets easier.
I intend for this blog to be a reminder to the changes we can make each day to promote healthier lifestyles and expansive forward-movement. In these blog posts I may recommend programs, books ,or people that have helped me on my journey. I will give helpful tips, and perhaps provide a different perspective.
Why Awaken?
Because as cliche as it sounds, so many of us are waking up to our true nature; not the false beliefs that we are buried under.
We are all at various stages of this process and we all need each other to evolve- as human beings- living out our highest purpose and helping others along the way.
Why Right Now?
This is twofold. There are things we can do right now, today, to create powerful changes and new healthy habits. Also, there is an urgency in which these essential changes need to take place.
The world needs your help, my help, and the next person’s.
There is a part of me that would like to quietly just continue to work on myself- by myself, but I know that this isolation is no longer serving a purpose on my journey. If I can assist or inspire someone the way they have inspired me, then I need to reach out and do just that.
I need to take a risk, and this is one way I feel inclined to do so-through a blog.
An engaging friend of mine asked me( in jest) “have you considered naming your blog, “awaken when you’ve got a minute” I actually liked it. The SNL skit to the theme I had chosen.It felt ironically appropriate to consider that title.
I did, obviously, choose awaken right now, because this title embodies what I really want to express through my writing.
At the time of this post writing I believe:
That every moment matters and that one person can really make a difference.
Right now though, we need a lot of those ONE PERSONS to be showing up for life and difference-making.
Listen to what your heart is telling you.
Are you still sleeping through life or awakening to life?
