We Are In A Moment

In a recent survey, I conducted 90% of respondents said they were reinventing their life. Perhaps by inspiration, but I'm guessing more by circumstance.

What does this tell us about the hopes, dreams, and passions we have long held as the primary purpose of our lives?

When I started out working, my hopes and dreams were big, bold, and steamy. 

After all, do we not all start with expectations of careers and lives that are fulfilling, abundant, and passion-filled?

The moment we are in now may be telling us something about the template we are using for our hopes and dreams and how we live.

We develop habits and behaviours for our lives that look the same every day as we endure a workplace or relationship that does not work. 

 You have to realize your template is always guiding you along with your constant self-talk.

In my case, I had aspirations of making it to the top of the corporate ladder. Hard work, focus, and determination were the hallmarks of my life. 

That is until my body gave out, and I found myself in life-saving surgery.

The template I thought was solid was shattered.

The moment we are in now has shattered our templates.

What we are used to is blowing in the wind.

My realization is to be courageous enough to release the old habits.

I mean, open up a space in my heart and soul to see what is being revealed.

I'm sitting with the words of Rumi today, who had words I believe fit the moment we are in:

"When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me without pain. From this, I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it."
