Everything has a beginning. Often times we are so in the throws of doing what we normally do we do not even know the source of our behavior or our words. We say and do things automatically not realizing how much comes from who we truly are versus what we are simply used to. It is only when our system of things we are automatically doing and saying either break down or begin to create friction in our lives do we take a closer look. Sometimes it is so dramatic we have to take a complete turn away from the automatic behaviors. We hold on to them because of their familiarity and assume they are quintessential to who we are without realizing they have nothing to do with us. God invites us, often subtly to pause once in a while and take note. We can ask ourselves, what is the source of that behavior? Where does that expression come from? Is it true to the source of who I am or is it just something with which I am familiar? Most importantly, we can ask: is the way I am being in alignment with the source of my life from which I draw the truth of who I am?
