It’s the same fight I’m in! My past feels like the devil knocking at my door, waiting for evidence for me to fail.

Some days I wake up disappointed in the progress I’ve made toward global consciousness. I desire such BIG change. While I recognize that this process doesn’t happen over night, I know that the longer this message stays in this brain, the longer needless suffering occurs.

Music allows me to release the pressure of fear and anxiety. I was listening to Rise Against on my morning run. They sing from their souls about the war occurring within each of us. They put truth to what is happening. I feel like I share the same message, but it is the truth about who we are. Who we are and who we were born to be.
Survive Lyrics by Rise Against:

“Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We’ve all been sorry, (who we are) we’ve all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are”

We are not our brains, we are not just the imprints of our past.  We are who we were born to be, who we desire to be, the best of ourselves – that’s who we are! We have learned to live in apathy, limbo, to take the cards we have been dealt and ride the line.

“Let’s put our asses on the line for what we want!” is how a great teacher of mine, Alan Semsar, put it. In my words, “If you want something and you’re not taking action to get it, you will not get it!”  Put your ass on the line and step into the life you want!

My heart aches with passion for the change in the game of awareness. I pray that I have the strength to take the stand I need to in order to fulfill this in my life!

Can you see what threads that are weaving the design of your life?

Time to slow down and get around it.

Learn how.

1) Take time to clarify your understanding of what belief is being challenged and if it serves you.
2) Be grateful for reminders of how far you’ve come.
3) Remember that there are at least 3 sides to every story: mine, yours, and the truth.
