According to Jamie Ridler, "Wishcasting Wednesday is a safe haven for wishes, a fertile field in which to plant wish seeds and have them witnessed and tended lovingly. It’s a place where magic begins." I have been wanting to take part in Jamie's weekly ritual for months now. I have also been trying to get my blog up and running for the same amount of time. I don't have an overwhelming desire to write, but my "spirit counsel" will not take no for an answer. And it's certainly not because I think my life already "rocks." It's because, overwhelmingly, everyone "up there" has long been whispering and pushing about the hotly anticipated arrival of what little 'ole me has to say. Go figure! So, here I am facing a huge fear of putting it all out there, and casting a wish at the same time! Whew!! I knew today was the day for me to face and embrace the giant that I once feared so much. Deeeep breath...
Today's prompt question was "What do you wish to learn?" Geez!! Are you kidding me, Jamie? LEARNING is a "button" for me. I've sat in my seat, held my hand down, kept my mouth shut, etc., because I thought I still had so much more to learn. I refused to hit post on a blog because I hadn't "learned" about about blogging. Now I'm doing both in one shot!
I wish to learn that what I know right now is all I need to know for now. This concept may seem simple for some, but for me it's what holds me back from living my life wide open. It's a frustrating cycle of wanting to fully embrace all that is unique and beautiful about myself, and the haunting need for perfectionism and all that that issue entails. The TRUTH is, I know that I know what I know! Period. I also know that I will never stop learning. But what good does it do me, or anyone else, if I keep raising the bar on myself?
So, I wish to learn to TRUST my inner voice...that ever present wisdom that speaks louder than the ego...step out of my comfort zone by living, being, sharing and teaching what I've already learned!
