It's being a beginner that I resist. Learning something new usually takes so much energy and focus that sometimes I'm just not up for it. Presently I'm becoming more comfortable with the Salsa classes and I'm enjoying the process. But I have to be honest, I'm also a little competitive. I have been thinking about taking the intermediate class even though I know I'm not ready. I have been thinking about the day when I can experience a sense of freedom within the structure of the dance. When Annie informed me that she didn't find the beginner's level challenging enough and was switching to the intermediate level I started thinking about it more. Instead of going together, we would be on different schedules. So that's been on my mind and it has got me thinking about other areas of my life. I realize that this thought process that I am now experiencing in this little capsule of my life is similar to the thought process that I experience in the rest of my life. At some point we want a different experience in life than what we are currently experiencing. Changes and cycles are always occurring. Some occur when we least expect them and some occur sooner than we would like them to. Even though we are reluctant to change, at some point a change will occur whether we make it happen or it happens to us. Think of the cycles of nature. As life begins anew in spring, by summer nature is in full bloom. The trees bear delicious fruit and in the fall the leaves start to turn beautiful colors and fall to the ground. In the winter the days are shorter and the trees barren. Perhaps it is in this season when there is darkness that the internal changes, the changes that we don't see, occur. Think of your life for a second. What are you hanging onto? Is there an aspect of your life in which you know you need to make a change but are reluctant to do so? It might be an unsatisfying relationship or a job or career that is exceedingly stressful and unrewarding. Perhaps it's an opportunity you are avoiding taking. How do you know when it's time to move on? Perhaps by my sharing from my life you might be inspired to look at yours in a new way. I think back to some of my past relationships; in my last relationship prior to Annie it was clear that we wanted different things from life. We had different goals and a different vision. I was hoping that she would change and she was hoping that I would change. As long as there was hope I was willing to hang in there. And that's the way most of us are. If we see a glimmer of hope we will hang in there. It was only when it became painfully clear that things were not going to change that I made the decision to end the relationship. This wasn't an easy decision and was extremely painful. But it's the fear of facing this pain that keeps us stuck in these unhealthy relationships and life situations. Careers are much the same way. We stay stuck in a deadend career or unhealthy work situation because we are afraid of the uncertainty we will be facing if we make a change. My own decision was much the same way. For many years I felt stuck in my career as an attorney. I was financially successful and had it pretty good but I got to the point where I was bored and uninspired. I was ready for a new direction, yet I didn't see a way out. What could I do that would allow me to provide for my family? I made the decision to let go of my law practice and to embrace the "not knowing" what my next step would be. I am still in that process as each day I look forward to the next step on this journey called life. It's been seven years since I made that decision and it keeps getting better. If we always knew what was next much of the adventure and excitement of life would be missing. So you might be wondering what the answer is. Perhaps I have given you a clue. There is power in not knowing. I usually ask the many people whom I work with "what their biggest regret was?" The majority reply that it was not taking enough risks. As the well known philosopher Mark Twain stated: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw away the bowlines and sail away. DREAM....EXPLORE....DISCOVER..." There is power in being courageous and taking action. There is power in sharing our story. Let me know what your next step is.
