“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~ Mohandas Ghandi
This is a quote I live by… I carry it with me wherever I go. Literally. I have Passalong Cards with this quote that I carry in my purse and to share with others.
I had a conversation about change and life recently. I enjoy exploring outwardly and inwardly and acknowledge that while change can be scarey at times, it is a necessary part of growth and life. I know that everything I create in my world will help me to learn, grow and move towards greater soul expression and expansion in this lifetime. The person I was conversing with wasn’t quite on the same page. Safety, security, and following cultural patterns that society sets is hard for many to venture beyond.
And yet where I see myself heading is beyond those patterns. Crossing that line in the sand, daring to stretch the circumference of my comfort zone to envelop new and rewarding challenges. Welcoming change — inviting it, actually – as I move into an exciting time where the lessons may be hard, yet ultimately fulfilling my purpose.
Life may be a tight rope walk at times, moving around obstacles and overcoming challenges but my Faith holds me in safety. Gentle hands ready to catch me when I stumble. Leap and the net will appear, I remind myself. You have to do the hard stuff to enjoy and appreciate the fun stuff. Walk the tightrope, feel the fear, and before you know it you’re going with the flow… ziplining 1000 feet at 50 km/hour yelling “woo-hoo!!”
Two statements especially made an impression on me, although there are many in the short video:
* Change is part of a creative life.
* Direction is so much more important than speed.
