"Because You Are Alive Everything Is Possible."

It has been said "You are confined only by the walls you build yourself."

I took a moment to reflect on that idea. I also made it more personal so it would sink deeper into my being.

“I am confined only by the walls I build myself."

I found myself reflecting on just how difficult life can feel, can be right now. So much uncertainty in so many areas. Walls we did not build.

Many among us are experiencing health challenges, economic stress, desperately lacking connection with family and friends. Our ability to attend sporting events, concerts, church, yoga studios, gyms or other large gatherings have been placed on hold.

We find ourselves now forced to observe life through the blue light of television and computer screens. Some days it feels like all we do is watch, observe and not really live. One day just bleeds into the next.

Where is the thrill, the excitement, adventure of fully living our lives?

When will it return? No one knows..

The longer this current reality drags on the more I am convinced that it’s vital we find ways to scale the walls.

How do we do this? I don’t know if there is one right answer. Each of us has our own unique experience we need to work through, make sense of.

What I do know is this; creating change even if it just how we feel about something requires four things to happen.

1. The awareness that there is a problem.

2. An action to change that which is creating the problem.

4. There must be some form of support to guide us and keep us accountable to what we say we want.

6. And last but not least taking the time to reflect on how we feel, to observe without judgement what is working and what is not.

What is working and what is not is where I find myself spending quality. This is where I have power. This is how I move up and over the walls.

My world feels smaller, my passport has no new stamps. I feel the walls that 2020 has placed around me.

I am also deeply aware that it is me and only me who gives meaning to those walls. I can not change the circumstances but I can change how I feel about it.

Much Love and Many Blessings
