It feels to me this is a collective learning happening now. Our current notions of productivity suggest we all have agency and it’s binary is laziness. What is more true is that to grow, we need less doing and more being, more openness to recognizing where and how growth is happening so we can be part of it.
Love this and agree Jessi. I think nature is a great example of this. A tree doesn't try to grow. It just does. We are nature too. We just think we are not. Couldn't agree more that there is an organic emergence that is already happening, and we can learn and align to it. That's where the magic seems to be
Yes. I’ve found the willingness to allow the growth experience to unfold, however it appears, involves deep trust. That’s some of the real work.
During hardship there are many choices, many opportunities.
The choice to go into the bottom of the well with a deep knowing we will emerge through the other side, that everything we experience builds to a purpose not yet revealed.
Choosing to let go and meet our real selves there. Stop fighting a universal force that knows better than “our plan” to simply sit still, be repurposed, and laugh upon the realization of its truth. The Universe’s cruelest joke and greatest gift in collaboration.
100% agree. I used to chase around after the right information, the class, book, podcast, etc that was going to be THE thing that made it all make sense.
I’ve realized that it’s all inside of me. How I view the world is a reflection of what is in me, the filter I choose to don tints my experience.
I think we do come here with a plan, but it’s loose. Anchor love to the earth. That’s my soul purpose. 💕
Beautiful reflection, Scott. What you describe feels like the point where “growth” stops being a project and starts revealing itself as movement within what never needed to grow. At some point even humility becomes inclusion — the same life that moves the tides moving the sense of “me” and “my story.” There’s such relief in seeing that even the willingness isn’t owned; it’s just another wave in the same sea.

The grand mirror of life! We have a very similar worldview Patricia : )

you're nailing it here man. We realize we are both a drop in the ocean and the ocean itself : )
