Choosing to Move vs. Being Chosen to Move

Today I am choosing to move a small step forward toward my life’s work. It is a conscious choosing. I feel compelled to share my thoughts and experiences with others in this space. I hope that others will share their thoughts and experiences here too. Likely, I won’t be putting forth any really original ideas. I am an admitted cherry picker of the ideas of others that I integrate in to my personal paradigm. I’ll try to credit those that planted the seed in me but can’t promise that I’ll remember where each nugget came from originally. Nor can I promise that I won’t contradict myself. I do it all the time. Ultimately I hope that it furthers my thinking as I process and progress in what I believe.

All of us have probably experienced how life can have a way of making things so uncomfortable that we have no choice but to change our thinking or ways of being. This can be a really painful way to be moved. Our dreams are stuffed down, or maybe the still small voice that knows is all but muted in us. When all else fails you can count on life to send us an event like a job loss or a breakup to shake us out of our complacency, forcing us to realign with who we truly are and where we are meant to be going. I am consciously choosing to move rather than waiting around for life to move me. I am not entirely sure what I am moving to but I am okay with that. I am excited about the process of becoming.

So welcome to The Happiest Bird! I hope that you will stop by often and share your reflections on life and your own becoming.
