Awareness and My Path

"As long as you acknowledge change, that's the first step."  Toyin Adekoje


Reflecting on moving forward from the conversation during this seminar, I opened with this quote because I wanted to explore it further.


You've all seen me at many moments caught in "the island of me" with "poor me" kind of thoughts and complaints.  Some of them are easy to justify, but valid or not, in the end they are just damaging my spirit of being and my awareness.


To effectively learn, more than anything I've requested, I need my spirit whole and my awareness.  Sure things would be easier for me if I had a syllabus and if lessons were differentiated to foster more creative expression that had equal weight to traditional measures.  I would be much happier if lessons lent themselves more to the eighth intelligence and really tapped into the funds of knowledge I carry, but that's not the reality.  So I need to do the best with the situation at hand.     


When one is working for something for the greater good, there are often things that will try to distract us from our paths.  Each one of us has a choice of how we will handle those distractions.  For the rest of this journey, when I'm bored, annoyed, and/or can't find purpose in the assignments or design of a session, I will always have the deeper purpose that has guided me here.
