I have fallen into the ‘must be perfect to get started’ rut.
Thank you to my dear friend, Dara Kennedy, for starting a group and inspiring
me to get back at my blogging. I have lost my beloved iPad (left on plane L) which had about 30
partial blog postings done. … Guess that teaches me my lesson about not
finishing what I start or thinking too much about something and trying to make
sure it is perfect before I put it online.
So when I saw this group today - 30 Days to Bliss – I though
– there is no time like the present.
Dara’s post - Day 1: Make the Choice – is like a direct
order. So I am. Thank you Dara.
I am so excited to be a part of such an amazing group and
enlightening concept. Like many of you, I have been sort of like a caged bird
or trained elephant… Let me explain…
A little bird is caged after breaking its wings to ensure
that it doesn’t hinder the healing by getting out and trying to fly too
quickly. Sometimes the healing takes so long that when the door is finally
opened, the bird doesn’t venture out because it has forgotten how to take off.
This group will serve as a support system to help inspire us to ‘take off’ and
fly again.
When elephants are young and born into circus service, they
are chained with a heavy cuff around their leg. As they grow they just accept
that since there is a restriction on them that keeps them restrained they learn
to associate the cuff with restriction. As they grow bigger and stronger they
could easily break away from the chain but they don’t even try because of the
way that they have been conditioned to believe. When they finally perform in
the circus there isn’t even a chain – just a cuff or ‘bracelet’ around the
ankle. It offers enough of the same ‘feeling’ that the elephants don’t even try
to escape.
Can you relate to feeling caged even if the door is open or
restricted even though the chain is removed? Make The Choice is so important
because it reflects in the direction of what we ARE looking for, rather than
what we are NOT looking for.
You WILL end up with what you ARE or NOT looking for – so focus
on the ARE!
