Taking the first step

My first step today is simply stepping back. When I look back to what should matter here I cant see any further than 10 years. I know that there is so much more. Taking one step at a time will help me reveal the path. If I am listening I can be at anyplace I need to be at anytime, in my head.

A little view from where I have been. My career changed 7 years ago when I left a very lucrative full time advertising position after working with alternative medicine professionals for a season. The more I learned from them about what they did the more I knew I was following the wrong directions in my own life. My true calling was to be in the healing arts. I knew this in my gut. I fought it my whole life.

Today after 6 years of giving professionally as well as in my personal life I see that I have given to everyone else and not to myself. My desire today is to step into fresh space, a space of health and vitality.

Along this path I will learn with the help of my family, friends, clients and other professional contacts. Hopefully by posting my discoveries I can have a way to revisit the process to reinforce what I have learned and help others with my experience.

Self discovery can be a scary process even though the prospect of becoming a better person is exciting. I will call on a few to help me along the way. Ultimately I must depend upon myself to do this.
