Uncover what you have always wanted
Friday, January 9, 2009 at 9:47AM Many people go through life accumulating experiences and convincing themselves they work toward what they have always wanted. The measurable things, the objects you can touch or buy, may become companions during your journey. Yet a silence in your heart contains other whispered secrets.
Part of you yearns to escape from aspects of the life you know. Other parts of you seem to prevent it. Something within you draws attention to debilitating afflictions and lacks while a soothing side fills the imaginary holes and heals the open wounds. Your soulful side knows humanity fears all things as a distraction from everythng you already have. When a person forgets the power of love, he forgets the key power within.
To uncover what you have always wanted, all you have to do is choose to live. Choose to feel. Choose to take chances that bring you face-to-face with the prospect of losing. Permit yourself to be drawn to sources of your greatest fear. Decide to praise them and feel grateful. When your physical body cringes at certain experiences it has been given, you can reckon it is divine grace. You can even find courage and strength in grief.
Those things that motivate you are only temporarily veiled. You gradually transcend your own silence. You open your eyes and senses more fully. You discover you have always wanted to stop fearing who you are. Nothing about your truth wounds you more than denial or fear. You move beyond them already.

This is a wonderfully moving piece today. And it really reminds me that I do have the choice - I can decide - how to live my life! That is both very freeing and very unsettling. Freeing in that I know I can do what I desire. Unsettling in knowing that there is a real unknown out there for me, and what is it and what does it mean. I love this all very much Liara, thank you...
