Willingness is that stretch of the road that leads you from where you are to where you wish to be. The inner journey of self- love that gently and softly guides you home towards the person you truly are.
I always thought that to be willing to do something meant that in someway, shape or form…I would want to do whatever it was I needed to do.
For the most part that……. has not been my story.
Some of the most profound and drastic experiences I have walked upon on the path of changes in the course of my life have been at most….
Uncomfortable.
Painful.
Uncertain.
Frightening.
Weird.
Whether it be a situation, circumstance or an emotional, spiritual or physically state I wanted to change. In someway and in some fashion I knew that there was always to be a distance between the two states of being that I felt the contrasts of. I knew I would have to travel the distance from where I was to where I wanted to go.
Most of the times…I didn’t want to….but I was willing to.
I have discovered that willingness is simply the footsteps I take in the daily experience of life on my inner quest for well being, peace of mind, love, abundance, purpose and meaning.
It’s the action in my life….it is my life.
For a long time I thought that I could discover a multitude of shortcuts through the actual living part of my life in order to just reap the benefits and rewards of getting to where I thought I should be.
I thought I could skip all the work, take a shortcut and sneak through the loopholes of life.
But that wasn’t the journey that would lead me to where I truly wished to be. The directions I followed based on the idea of instant gratification led me further and further away from the places of happiness within and lured me into the darkened depths of self-inflicted misery.
That is until I learned about willingness…doing whatever had to be done, to get me to where I wanted to be….
Because dammit I deserved more then I gave myself.
At times the road is rough, the path is new, the journey simply a trip into a uncharted territory within.
Like most travel it at times can be uncomfortable, painful, uncertain, frightening and weird. But like most journeys of the heart and spirit it become the very essence of the beauty that is etched perfectly into each moment of time…
In each fiery sunrise on the horizon.
In each twinkle of the dancing stars.
In every ray of sunlight that streams down from above.
In each whisper of the wind that carries upon it the scent of a thousand dreams and hopes of all who feel it’s caress upon backs gentle and softly guiding them along on their journey back home.
