RēL Talk Today and Can't See the Next Step

Well, it finally happened.?

I need readers.? Luckily I have always thought readers were super sexy.? It helps with this little life passage I'm guessing -- I'm still smiling and not hiding my $9.99 readers.?

There is a pair (or two) in every room . . . just for moments when I find myself wondering why the text I'm reading is so fuzzy.?

I could fight it.

I could cuss the moments when my eyes are not delivering the sharp precision I desire.?

However, there is a wisdom inside that just says "Stay flexible.? Be patient with your body, it is trying to keep up with you".? And so I don't sweat it.? At all.?

Our brains are usually miles ahead of our physical life.? I find it fascinating!

Recently I went through [another] big transition in my life.? And my brain was on overtime constantly trying to figure out the plan and make sure everything was going to be good.? This time to be patient wasn't as easy.? (No sexy readers involved I guess)

This transition took me on a NEW PATH.? One that I hadn't anticipated, or wanted or had ever watched anyone else navigate.?

My brain was going nuts trying to SEE down the path to plan and prepare.? My brain was telling me to "STOP" until it had it figured out.? "Don't take another step . . . let me get this figured out." I kept hearing inside my thoughts.?

Except it was all new and so figuring it out required me to move forward without all the answers.? It required me to take that next freaking scary step without KNOWING it would all be good.??

Have you noticed that in life we don't want to take the next step until the path Is totally lit up?

However, the path usually isn't lit up and this time mine was a mere flicker of light.? I found that my thoughts made me feel paralyzed because I could see a couple of options with different paths to take, yet I couldn't see very far down any of those paths.??

What if I took the wrong one???

Life is often like this.? I'm sure this has happened to you too.? It can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and scary.??

This is when we build BIG Life Muscles.??

Or we stop growing.??

Never stop growing.? I hope you will choose to take the next step . . . just look for the next step to be lit up. Even a flicker of light is enough. Total darkness is enough.? Just step.??

Take that next step, my friend.?

Just when you think your next step will take you to the right -- Life may surprise you and instead you may find the need to go to the left.

Stay flexible!

Some of the most amazing adventures show up when we allow ourselves to stay flexible.? Flexible doesn’t mean doing nothing.? It means deciding to take a step.?

It may feel scary.? You may doubt yourself . . . BIG TIME.??

Remember that the feeling of being scared or doubt doesn’t kill you.? Your brain may tell you it will.? It won’t.??

Stay flexible my friend.?
