There is a constant chatter going on in the world surrounding this idea that we are called to be shakers and makers. We are called to create and imagine. As human beings it is in our DNA to make an impact on the world. At least it is the message carried out by human growth and development, leadership, education, recovery, spirituality, business, and so on in the U.S. Maybe it is just the effect of living in Southern California but either way it is a conversation I hear often. What is our purpose? Why are we here? What is the difference we want to make in the world? These are all good things. Intrinsically we create a sense of meaning in all our endeavors. Our minds are meaning making machines. We even make little inconsequential elements have greater meaning. So when we are being told we need to align ourselves with the beliefs and actions of our highest selves and boldly create an impact on the world, it is not foreign to us. On a heart level it is beating for a reason. We are all created and have the ability to create. We all leave an impact whether we intend to or not. But our hearts have a gentler initiation into the consciousness around it. Within us is the boldness we need to make an impact. Our hearts call us to do so by being ourselves. When we connect to the truth of who we are and dare to be that in the face of expectations and rules and regulations of the norm, takes courage. It is about boldly impacting the world immediately around us and within us. The greatest courage we can garner is to be honest with ourselves from the heart. It starts with the boldness of going inward and silencing the outside voices. It is with the boldness of aligning our hearts and minds together so we can be courageous in the world outside. The boldness the world is requesting of us does not come in the form or pattern of a prescription that is the same for everyone. Each day when we boldly dare to pause, connect to our hearts, be within ourselves, and present with all of who we are in the moment we are in is a day full of life.
