Calling Ourselves Out!

There is a moment in your life when it occurs to you that you may be being a colossal hypocrite. You look at the words that escape from your mouth to the people you care about. "You are amazing; you can do anything!" "Life always works out exactly as it should; have faith." “There are no accidents, each person, place or experience divinely arrives at the right time."

I walk through the halls, "high-fiving"my students, coaching high school freshman to believe in their potential, and championing my friends and family to believe that all things good are on their way to them. The annoying cliché gnaws at me:  "Those who can't do; teach." 

Since I know so many absurdly inspiring leaders and champions for humanity, I am sure many of you can relate to the challenge we face every day to practice, absorb, and LIVE the truth that is uniquely ours. Well today, October 3rd, 2011 I am officially calling myself out. HYPOCRITE! LIAR PANTS! You are FULL OF IT! 

Though there is no formal "ending" to this challenge, there are however critical points of our lives where we MUST face this admitted weakness. Get your big girl/boy pants on and take yourself on my friends. This is one of those times in my life. I look around and I see beauty, inspiration, and abundance everywhere I go. My usual tendency is to look behind me, thinking this amazing stuff is for someone else just beyond me. "Who me?" "This crazy amazing life is for me? No, you shouldn't have, REALLY."

Whatever you believe in: God, the universe, source; whether you like it or not, they are ALL CONSPIRING in your favor - AND MINE. We rock. We really do. There is nothing that we honestly desire for our lives that we don't rightly deserve. 

For someone who gets as excited as I do to wake up in the morning, like any proud dork does, this is a lovely epiphany for me. Thought I have experienced before at times, it has never shaken me to my core as it does now. 

So who would like to join me? Who would like to call themselves out and look in the mirror? I am grateful for my unique deep love for the human spirit. Today I include my own in that love. Rock it out people; today and all days.
