Growth involves risk.
There is often a vague sense of danger with which we greet almost every person and every situation. If it had a voice, it might whisper, \”Please don\’t hurt me.\”
~Ezra Bayda~
To be a spiritual seeker is to discover your courage. Leaving the confines of the familiar we venture out into a new world, risking all. The willingness to explore the unknown paves the way to adventure as we learn to experience life with an open heart and open mind.
Throughout this process we encounter a stripping away of the ego. Layer by layer we drop beliefs and blockages that no longer serve us. Challenges allow us to cultivate fortitude as we discover new ways of experiencing all that life has to offer.
It\’s important to be vulnerable and authentic. Don\’t hold yourself back out of fear. The path of awakening calls upon us to recognize our potential. Faith and action transform that potential into actuality.
