Lots of talk – even in my talk. Who am I? Where am I going? What should I do?

I think our first question should be – who do I want to become? This will open the door to see where we are going, what direction to take.

Look at your present state as your starting place – not a permanent situation you are always trying to escape from. See it as the start. Like in a race, the gate is behind you. The whole lane, field, world is ahead of you waiting for you to run through it and to it.

The ‘being’ will lead to the ‘doing’.

Once we decide who we want to be, we can figure out the steps we need to take…the path to get on…the lane to drive in… what exits to get off or on.

Again, this takes self-introspection. You are unique. Each of us are. We have to assess our likes, dislikes, skills, talents, abilities. We have to take notice of ourselves. Not in a comparative way, but in a curious way. What do I have to bring value to this world? How am I crafted?

This is not being selfish. This is part of self-development and necessary for growth.

Right now I’m thinking of horse whisperers. The whisperer has to go quietly and slowly around the horse to understand it and for the horse to understand them.  There is a lot of listening involved. This is how they begin their communication. Time. Patience. Listening. Observing. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

We need to do this with ourselves. Tune out everybody, everything and learn how you’re crafted…not what someone else tries to tell us how you’re made. Too often others try to tell you how you should be when they themselves don’t know who they are or what they are doing. Don’t fall for letting another person manage your life!

What is one aspect I want more to become?
