Burn baby, burn!

This morning I found myself pondering tapas, not the tasty little Spanish appetizer tapas but rather the Sanskrit meaning of तपस्) which is to heat.

I thought about how much I absolutely love the life I now live and how the only way I am able to have this great life is because years ago I became willing to stand in the heat.

Being willing to stand in the fire allowed me to have incredible adventures as an endurance athlete. It enabled me to climb mountains, for real mountains.

It enable me to start the process of cleaning up my messes and therefore my life and my relationships. It opened the door to the painful truth that my life, all of it, was my doing and mine alone. I had created everything I didn’t want.

Yes “bad stuff” had happened to me. I had a difficult, and traumatic up bringing. However, that ended the moment I walked out the door of my parents home. I wrote the story that I was not worthy and unloveable. I then cast myself in the lead role and gave an Oscar worthy performance. It affected every area of my life and I allowed it.

I had made ALL the decision that had created debt, stress, drama, crappy relationships, injuries to body & soul, you name it I pretty much created it.

I guess this is on my mind this morning because it has come up several times over the past couple of weeks with clients. So I thought why not invite everyone to begin their own process of inquiry?

Where are you truly standing in the heat, doing the work and moving towards your dream life? Where in your life are you playing small, avoiding and making others wrong; which is by the way, a most convenient way to let ourselves off the hook and remain a victim.

An amazing life is not by accident. It is designed and created one day at a time. One decision at a time, while standing in the fire. And just so you all know, on the other side of the fire lies that peace, love, freedom and happiness that you so desire. So I say.... "let it burn"
