If your life were transformed...

If your life were transformed, really transformed, what would it be like?

What would you want? What would you want to feel like, experience, or be?

And - what would be the risk?

What would you have to give up thinking, doing, being, and/or feeling in order to transform and become who you really want to be?

It seems to me that many people long for transformation. They want so desperately to feel better, or maybe even just to feel anything at all.

People want to know that they matter and are important. They want to know that they are fulfilling a higher purpose in their lifetimes.

Far too many people are just surviving, afraid to hope for more, afraid to want a better life.

There is more. There is a path to hope and wholeness. There is a way to transform your life - and let it become whatever you want it to be. The first step is deciding that you're willing to risk letting go of who you think you are in order to become who you want to be.

So, today's task - write for a while about what you are afraid of if you were to transform your life. Let's start there.

What is it that you want?

Why is it so hard to define what we want?

For me, it's hard to say what I want due to years of not actually getting what I asked for. So, now, it's very difficult to ask at all.

In addition, even when we have a good general idea of what we want, it's hard to articulate the particulars and see the possibilities for the future.

One suggestion -

Draw or write out a vision of what you want to create, then examine that description to see what isn't completely right yet. Sometimes it's easier to figure out what we want when we look at what we don't want or what isn't perfect yet.

Beginning a Revolution

Some revolutions start loudly; others are more subtle. This is subtle, at least for today.

This is a movement and a revolution to bring transformation - whatever kind of transformation you need in your life.

Transformation is too often overlooked or misunderstood. I think that as a culture we don't really understand what transformation means. Some of us are drawn to transformation as an idea, but we don't really know what it means or all that it could entail.

We live with this underlying hope that things could be different, that we could better or live a higher purpose.

We can. We can live a higher purpose and create better things with and for our lives. The first step is recognition.

Open your eyes, your mind, your soul today. Allow for the possibility that life can be joy.
