After letting go of fear you can move through life without hesitation; acting instead of reacting; express yourself with confidence and clarity.
When I work I travel all day long. I have made a living out of that constant change thing that I like so much. But, I have noticed that I need a certain level of regularity in order to be comfortable. If I have a day that I get several calls changing my schedule throughout the course of the day, it irritates me. It's not because of all the changes; the change of itself isn't a problem. It's the uncertainty that is off-putting. I start my day with an expectation of what it will be like because I have come to know the people I see regularly. When my schedule gets changed and I have to see people I don't know, that bothers me.
When we encounter September we know what we're getting into. We know that the weather is going to get cooler and we know that we're going to have less daylight hours and we know that the kids are going to have to go back to school and that we're not going to be able to vacation anymore. The real test of your ability to cope with change is when you get slammed with something unexpected. That's what this week's class is all about. Can you stay grounded enough in your own truths to be able to accept open-heartedly unexpected change.
To tackle the unexpected you have to be brave and gentle at the same time. It may feel stronger and safer to clench up; to be inflexible; unyielding. But there is a power in being gentle that the unyielding can't imagine. The quality of your life can only improve when you become more open.
Can you go into the future (the unknown) with steady legs and an open heart?
