They say, "Life's an adventure..."
But what does that really mean? Is it about going to new places and doing fun things? Or is it more than that?
Join the Adventure!
Well, I think it’s a LOT more than taking trips or visiting far off lands. Anyone can do those things without a sense of adventure.
I know, I went to Germany in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall came down and instead of feeling excited, I was scared and uncomfortable there. It was an exciting time in history, but I didn’t engage the people or explore the culture much at all. I only cared about where I was going to sleep or get my next meal!
I wasn’t ready for an adventure like that. I was closed off to life and love, fearful of everything!
It’s who I was then...but things have changed!
I learned that before we can take on the world out there, we must find and unlock the gates of fear that hold us back, keeping us stuck, unwilling to let our authentic selves be seen. We have to heal the wounds that make us want to hide behind a safe, but boring facade.
This blog, Soul Set in Motion, is about that kind of adventure, about taking chances, about self-discovery, about letting love in and out.
It’s about believing in yourself despite your doubts and insecurities.
It’s about opening the doors in front of you and walking through.
It’s about letting your Soul lead the charge toward joy and passion and the mystery life is!
And, there are real adventures here too! Because once we move our fears aside, curiosity peeks through the lens of our life, leading us to colorful landscapes and breathtaking vistas. We’re able to see more beauty and experience more purpose, even in our daily lives.
That’s what happened when I gave my Soul permission to have its way with me. I’m hoping you’ll have the same amazing experience!
