Stepping Outside the Safety Box...to find You!

In order to progress in our lives, we are always learning, and then once this new piece of knowledge is firmly grasped we find ourselves moving forward on our human journey. Yes this sounds fairly simplistic, but there is just a tad more to it as well. We must sometimes step outside of our safety box in order to share what we learned and there-by move forward from there...this place of unknowness and uncertainties. This does get us breathing a little fast and sweat forms on our brow, but it is also very exciting, and after the fact liberating on so many levles...we learn so much more about  ourselves and what we are capable of! To sit in a class/workshop or in front of the computer doing a course or reading a new self help book... is learning something new, but unless you put this newly attained knowledge to use in service of yourself or others, then what is the true purpose of it...knowledge is meant to propel us forward...how do we move forward if we do nothing with our knowledge? So it is important to get the adrenaline going and take that chance that everyone might look at you strangely. But the rush of accomplishing and sharing far out ways the fear blocks we have had to over come or knock down to stand outside the safetey zone we created for ourselves and realize yes we have a voice and we have something to share or teach others. I do not disregard the pure terror that may have first occured, or the sleepless nights leading up to the radical moment, but I do know from the very depth of my soul it is always worth it...because if nothing else you prove to yourself you have the chutzpa to try...because without trying you will never ever know what you are capable of and no else will either. It is not about win or lose, success or failure, but about trying. Making the choice to find out more about yourself than you could possibly imagine and giving others the chance to know you...the authentic you...the you with a voice...the you that has something to share! It is not about how far outside the box you go...just a step or two will make a difference and will find you moving forward in a direction you may not have imagined, but is in your higher good and is propelling you to greater things! Life is even better outside the box! Blessed may you be where ever you are standing.
