Footsteps and Footprints

Footsteps are the real-time, first-person living your life. They are only known when being taken. We can PLAN were we want to step, which is a good thing. BUT we won't know where our foot lands until it's there.

Footprints are where we HAVE been. They mark our choices - good and not so good. They are the chapters of our life story. And stories are meant to be shared.

Watch your step!
Every step counts.

AWARE pt3

Awareness implies ownership.
If you are AWARE of your _______ (fill in the blank), then you are accepting ownership and respnsibility.

It might look something like this...
I am aware of my dog's droppings in the lawn, therefore I will be responsible for picking it up before my neighbor steps in it.

I am aware of lack of sleep, therefore I am accepting responsibility for my inability to perform at my usual level.

I am aware of my "woo" and extravert-ness, therefore I am taking ownership of how my personality, exhuberance, and zest for life can be overwhelming for others at time.

I am aware that I am on a spiritual journey, and am accepting the fact that I am fully active in the experience, not just a passenger.


What are YOU aware of? and how are you going to embrace it?
