Today I watched on YT one of my fav interviewers and he had a special video that was excerpts from past interviews. It is called Life Advice from 80+ Year Olds You Didn’t Know You Needed and has people I who I know their work well. He omitted their identity, (why I don’t know, oversight?) however I knew all of them on sight. One special one, is Dr. Edith Eger a survivor of Auschwitz. She talks about her time in the camp and how she has come to see we are all prisoners in our minds, and we carry the keys in our pocket. While her experience is horrific she teaches and leads one to realize we are able to rise above anything.
I am now eight years sober and it is one area of my life where I see how I finally pulled the key out of my pocket. I healed and soothed my soul so my ego could let go of the shell I had created.
I am halfway through a second masters and decided to quit because I felt it was unnecessary to finish. I was feeding yet again another prison I had created, telling myself I am not worth speaking my needs to finish this degree. Falling victim to fear and abandonment. Once again I pulled out the key and opened the door to potential.
Like this mushroom I am
finding a place to grow!
What keys are on your ring in your pocket that need to be reviewed? Maybe there are keys there that belong to doors you have already opened. Maybe pick one and see which door you are challenged to enter. The spirit will guide you.
I am on a new journey, canoeing down a new canal, swimming in a different lane and it has presented me with many keys and asked deeply provocative questions. I am listening. I am learning. I am loving.
We may reach the finish line
here and there, but we are
never finished!
