the year of "yes"
The warrior's approach is to say "yes" to life:
"yea" to it all.
- Joseph Campbell
This is the year of "yes" for me. Not the kind of "yes" that makes nice and tries to please everyone into submission and happy smiles, but the kind of "yes" that pushes me a bit further beyond my fearful resistance. The place that Eleanor Roosevelt says we must "Do the things that scare you.".
It is about showing up as who we are and being that which we already embody. Being ready to take the fall, but knowing that if we take the leap, no matter what happens, it will be a victory- merely for having shown up. We will never the be the same. Immediately, we are something more than we were.
Peeling away the old skin as we try on the new. One heals the other and allows it to fall away and become what destiny already knows.
