Waking Up

Life is a journey of constant evolution comprised of many small steps.

And each day, we are provided with many opportunities that can allow us to transform into our next highest selves. Awareness means that we are able to realize what we are doing moment to moment. We observe ourselves, noticing our thoughts, choices, actions, and reactions as if we were a detached witness. Awareness is the first step to change because we can’t make a change unless we are aware that one needs to be made in the first place.

Only then can we begin understanding why we are doing what we are doing. Then, it becomes difficult not to change because we are no longer asleep to the truth behind our behaviours. We also begin to realize that, just as much as we are the root source behind our thoughts - the roots for our behaviours, we are also the originator for any changes that we want to happen. There is a freedom that comes with this kind of awareness. Rather than thinking that we are stuck in a repetitive cycle where there is no escape, we begin to see that we always play a hand in creating our own lives.

Whether we are aware of them or not, our thoughts, choices and actions are always ours to make. Our past and our present no longer have to dictate our future when we choose to be aware. We are then free to move beyond our old limits, make new choices, and take new actions.

With awareness, our life can’t help but evolve us. In fact, it is only through awareness that we can continue to consciously evolve in every day of our life, whatever it may bring.

With love and light, I wish you Enlightenment,
