Ready to Rise from the Ashes?

'Our passions are the true Phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from the ashes." 
-Johann van Goethe
 
Most people can burn with the flames of passion. We have all been inspired.  Felt the heat. Been overtaken with the vibe.  Yadda Yadda Ya. But can you let it take you, really take you on the journey to the full design inherent in each spark?

That is all it really is you know, inspiration, passion...sparky spark sparks.  But if you don't feed the fire, if you don't take action to nurture and cultivate the flame it dies as slow death and you miss the opportunity to take flight to a fuller expression in your life. It may fester and smolder and tease you for a bit but if you don't ground your inspiration in action, you end up squandering your precious Spirit.

I received 2 calls today from beautiful passionate people who where both at a big crossroads, both feeling  s t u c k   in their lives. 

What do you want to create in your life?

What is holding you back?

I asked them both of these powerful questions. And then, perhaps the most important question...

How committed are you to taking action towards what you say you want?

This is where most people get stuck.  We freeze. We get scared, we feel trapped---feeling over powered by the energy of it all and then the sabotaging beliefs and patterns roll in and squash that fire right out.  We miss the boat. We jump of the passion train and hang out in despair until it comes along again hoping that next time we can hold on and root it for the ride of our life.


But I need to tell you something, and I am gonna be bold. If you aren't willing to take action to realize your dreams then what are you here for?  No one is going to do it for you. This is where we discover our true power and potential-- it is a discovery of creation...just like painting a painting and guess what...we get to LIVE it!


So when I feel inspired, I know this is a divine invitation.  A doorway to perhaps a new Universe that is awaiting my response. All I have to do is open the door, walk through the tunnel of uncertainty and be open to the mystery of showing up for life.


And when you do, your depression will l i f t.  Your chi will flow again, with the fire of soul and it will pulsate your being into action!  You will feel ripe with anticipation as if you are about to take flight, because--you are!  Your heart will thrive with life force and joy because it will be beating again! 

Yes-- you will have to move through your fears, and blocks and self-doubt and old wounds that are keeping you trapped in an outdated identity that no longer serves you. And yes, you will have to put yourself out there, be seen and go for it, and you might make so called 'mistakes' ...but honestly what else is this precious life for, Dear One?  Why are you robbing us of your full-self expression and the aliveness of your wild and beautiful creative heart?

Start honoring your dreams by taking action, get support and follow through by saying...YES to  Y O U.  Because if you don't, who will?

Are you ready to Rise like the Phoenix?
