Full Circle
Funny how things all come back around. As many of you know I have been on a quest (although now I believe my life has been a series of quests) ... this time my intention was set on Finding/Defining purpose - discovering my destiny, declaring my direction, my path and my place. Through sessions with a coach I defined value statements and a statement of purpose. They have been hanging on my office wall - directly in my line of sight for months. I have continued my search - for it's not enough to simply declare these things - one must take action on them. Actually if they are authentic, you are driven to action. And that's what I've encountered. Running down my path to being a life coach I discovered a parallel road - the development of a course. In writing this curriculum I have been again journaling...writing daily to find the right words to describe what I want to create - what I want to share. Further driven by a question from a friend I began exploring what lay beyond the course, the "what then?" - instead of rejecting this comment and feeling defensive, I chose to hear this comment as an opportunity to expand, and so began walking down yet another road.
and this week the words came...
"Create a process and space for self healing" -- I've written this over and over - said it out loud to myself - told any friend (or stranger for that matter) that will listen. But today, today I raised my eyes and re-read that purpose statement written so many many months ago and was bathed in the realization that I had come full circle. My course (and my friend's question) had brought me around again to my declaration... "Create a Healthy Human Community." So while to the outside world my efforts may seem disconnected - they actually all lead to the same end - creating community, creating space for self reflection & self healing, for declaring intention and action towards a new place....
As your journey continues, so does mine. It will twist and turn, sometimes sharply sometimes unnoticeable, but we move forward as we all must - learning and growing through grit and guts to pave our way forward to that place, to that person, we were meant to be.
