Your Life is Calling

"My life is no brief candle-I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. I want to look back on my life and say, Well Lived-From the Heart.”
George Bernard Shaw
Many of us, have callings and yearnings that we are aware of. They tug at us, circle around us, push us but most of the time we don’t act on these yearnings. There are things that we want to do but don’t, passions and desires that we push away, and lists of intentions that get thrown away. We usually don’t act on our callings because it means we have to change something and change is often hard and can be really scary.
Yesterday, I spent the day with a high school friend. She confided in me that she has three things in her life that she wants and has wanted for a long time. We began talking about what she wanted and how these changes would enrich her life. What came up in our discussion where the underlying blocks that keeps her stuck. The biggest barrier to her changes, is fear. She gets trapped by all the “what if’s” and “I don’t know what to do’s.” It is easy to get stuck there and not be able to move forward. We looked at small steps she could take that feel manageable. I also reminded her that just because she makes a change does not mean she is stuck with it. I see change as making small adjustments with slowly letting go of old patterns that no longer work. Change comes in small steps usually not big ones unless you have prepared for a major shift. We parted her with a plan of action and me, excited to see my friend embark on her new journey.
What is calling you? What is your heart and gut nagging at you to do? Make a list and pick one intention that is driving you to move forward. Take one step. What is that step? Know what it is, so you can begin on your journey towards yourself and your desires. Your life is calling.
