Finding the Door to Your Potential

A door exists for each one of us. We each have several, in fact. Doors that serve as gateways to the fulfillment of our potential as human beings; doors that lead onto paths in tune with our hearts yearning in this lifetime. For some, the finding of these doors comes as second nature. For others, there may be struggle. All that's needed to find and walk through these gateways is to stop where we are and breathe. We need to allow ourselves to be exactly where we are in life. The first step is acceptance of the life before us.

As we breathe it in, we reach a deeper understanding of how we've come to the present moment of our lives. From that understanding, we can move forward, more clear about who we are and what we have come through, more clear about our abilities and our limits. In the confidence of who we are and who we are not, doors will suddenly appear. There will be no question about it being the right one or the right time - at this stage there is only heartfelt knowing. We have arrived.

It's time to step through the doorway and into the next phase of our lives. Should you feel fear begin to creep in like a weed and grow over your path, hiding the trail to the doorway of your potential, take courage. Remember how far you've come. Take a moment to breathe and to connect with your body. Connect with that fear. See its origins. Let it go. The potential of a more meaningful, rooted existence awaits all who can step through the flames of fear and onto the path.
