...is dead. Indeed.
For many years, I took great pride in "figuring things out." I was just "sooo smart." (Lol) What I didn't realize, was that it was also killing me. Having things figured out mentally and psychologically doesn't leave much room for true Spirituality, does it? My attachment to being a smart woman & not sharing what I was learning, had driven me deeper, and deeper into "self," and thus deeper and deeper into loneliness and isolation. The more "separate" I felt, the more I wanted to just die. In these times, I would seek and seek and seek (after I whined for awhile of course!). I experienced many great "Aha" moments, followed by many great ideas that I thought were the key to my life. However, I was missing a major piece of the puzzle. Action. I was also missing Humility and God. I thought I was to do this on my own, don't ya know!? I am grateful to have been gifted with these wonderful revelations, yet overtime, my life was lacking True Peace, Joy, & Vitality. My Faith was without works, and I was dying. I was speaking one day with a very wise woman. I asked her, "do you ever stop getting nervous when you go on stage?" She replied, "No. I always want to stay a little nervous I think, so that I never forget I need to rely on God to help me. If I think I got this, I'm in trouble." Wow! That statement blew me away! I don't think she knows the extent to which she touched my life that day, but it has been huge! I am super grateful for that interaction because since then, I have personally applied that principle to my life. I am always a student. I never want to stop learning and growing. And now I know, that I don't have to do "it" alone anymore! I have found that in this practice of Faith and letting go, courage comes to me that I've never known even existed! The power of God/Universe/Whatever-You-Call-It working in & through my friends and I together, instead of me forcing things to work on my own, has brought more joy into my life than I could ever imagine. I am so grateful for those little gifts that come at just the right time, that completely shift my entire life's course into a better direction. I hope I can be that for others. I want to pay it forward!
