Consider the process of transformation that is evident with the emergence of a beautiful butterfly coming out of a syrupy chrysalis. This is the transformative process that began as a little caterpillar. Each step of this transformation in nature requires a leap of faith and total commitment as the old gives way to the new and exits in a totally new form. So it is in your life, relationships and world.
You are constantly changing. In a state of growth and support every breath that you take, every thought you make, every action conduct is a unique phenomena and a new moment that brings with it new energy, insights, awareness, possibility and aliveness.
Likewise, if you are in defence or protection you may be in a downward spiral. This change brings consolidation, compaction, rigidity, inflexibility and deathliness. In this state there is little opportunity for transformation. You can not be in growth and protect at the same time – they are mutually exclusive.
Every now and again it is useful to do a stocktake of where you are at in your life relative to the change process. What areas of your life, relationships or business do you think that you are on the verge of or in the process of transformation and which areas are you resisting it?
What changes do you know that have your name on them?
What areas are calling out to you?
Are there certain people who are working their way out of your life?
Are there people who need to be called into line around their agreements with you?
Are there people who need to be dismissed in one way or another – freed up to find their higher good elsewhere?
Consider these questions and commit to engaging with them this week.
