Whatever your lyrical preference, I believe that at some point in all of our lives, we receive a signal that there is something significant that lies within us that needs to be explored in order for us to embody this energy and feel truly alive in our life.  

The signal is permission and a reminder to make sure you are living in way that makes you feel engaged, vulnerable, expanding, energized, and ultimately in touch with your authenticity.

This is a tall order I know…

But the alternative is to ignore the invitation to get to know the real you better and basically say that your one life is not worth deeply exploring.

Only by experiencing this motivation to question and look within can we benefit from the perspective of the first half of life.

From our experience perspective, we recognize that many of our decisions in the first half of life were a response to our childhood and societal programming.

I’m not saying they were bad decisions.

But this perspective of experience can be really powerful to honestly look at where you’ve come from, who you are today, and what authenticity may be missing, or certain values you have that may be underrepresented in your life.

To your courage to embrace the signals that seem worth listening too…

I’ve seen it time and time again. The creative, open, joyous and spontaneous individual being strangled by the bureaucracy and pressures of the world to conform.

Without self-awareness, the result is an insidious contamination causing a narrow minded, superficial existence with an unfulfilled underpinning.   

We are all so unique with our innate gifts inside of us; however, the current system requires us to continually fortify the connection with our authenticity to avoid the whitewash of comparison and self-judgement.

We are funneled into careers prematurely, before we know ourselves, based on parental expectations and lures of power and money.

Our echo chambers of our friends, colleagues, and communities reinforce our path, everyone too scared to question their life and illuminate any kind of crack in the plan.

This is just the norm…BUT… There is an extraordinary approach that is available to all of us…

Not for the faint of heart…

Think about your priorities and how you spend your time. What feeling are you hoping will result from your efforts?

As we get older, what do we know down deep will bring us meaning, fulfillment and ultimate peace?

We all will have different ways of expressing the answer, but if we are honest with ourselves…

It ultimately comes down to FEELING FREE!

This is the freedom that self-love and self-acceptance provides that isn’t conditional on some kind of status, financial achievement or external validation.

This is the freedom to contribute to the world doing something that you feel passionate about, that feeds your meaning.

This is the FREEDOM…To feel more open every day to new ideas… to experience greater awe and wonder in the simple things of life…to feel greater curiosity… to feel greater empathy and compassion to those around you…

The FREEDOM to move through your day unencumbered, blissful and leaving more LOVE in your wake…
