Asking

I'm not one of those spirituality teacher guys who is particularly big on the whole "the Universe will test you" thing. I guess I just don't like spending time thinking about what tests are coming, whether or not I'll pass them, what will happen if I don't, or even entertaining the word "test." Yet I feel sure there's something to the concept, somewhere in there. Something about adversity and how it makes us stronger and life as humans wouldn't be life without it etcetera and so forth.

Whatever it is and whatever we might call it, I think I'm confronting one of those moments right now. Because in order to fully step into and up to what I have been calling the biggest thing I've done so far, literally launching this book beyond me and my friends into wherever it may go, I'm having to Ask For Help - and it's practically killing me. Okay, well maybe that's a bit dramatic. But really, I don't like it. And yet I have to do it. And the more I put it off, the more asking it seems I have to do. We are here for a reason is the spiritual concept I'd apply to this particular circumstance. And I know the reason is always for our growth and development. As I always ask my clients and students when they're in a situation they don't necessarily like, What muscle do you need to grow or develop or strengthen in order to navigate to peace? For me, right now, it's accepting that I can't do it all myself; that I don't have all the answers; that I must make myself vulnerable. Valuable lessons that I've not quite yet mastered so here's a perfect opportunity to master them.

And now when you get those emails from me, asking, you'll know that I'm just growing about my business.
