and vanish. Vanish like it never existed. Wow. I enjoy "aha" moments. Sometimes things are placed in front of you to provide you with the light you were needing for your darkness. "Accept the wrong, come to terms with it and then ask what next." Love it.

The two steps to giving way to passion. I know many have the problem of enjoying what they are truly desiring. Barriers placed by oneself, society, family, loved ones, friends, and the so called norm of society, cause many to withdraw from what brings the most joy to their lives. I most say that my passion for being a graphic designer was never diminished. I have never felt like a barrier was placed. So the steps provided in this book are a perfect way to spark up those flames that have been slightly lit for so long.
"Where is the electric socket for possibility, the access to the energy of transformation?....... lean our bodies to the music; dare to let go of the edges of ourselves.... participate" (Zander & Zander, ch8, pg121)Man, did this hit it on the nose. "lean our bodies to the music; dare to let go of the edges of ourselves.... participate" I had to say it again. Listen to that beat and dance like no one is watching. Let go and enjoy what's in front of you, enjoy the possibilities of life. Holding on to the shoulda, coulda, woulda brings nothing but an endless wall of barriers. Let go, Release! "lean our bodies to the music; dare to let go of the edges of ourselves.... participate" Participate.....

Rosa, I think it’s amazing that you have never felt barriers in your work and yet you can embrace the need to participate more fully in the dance. Somehow that seems very insightful to me. It’s so easy to see a lack when you struggle, but when you’re living your passion and doing well, it’s easy to become complacent. I love your candor is describing the dimly lit flame. Your blog reminded me that there is always more…more life to lived, more greatness to be given!
Rosa,
I love aha moments too, and am glad this book was able to reveal some more to you. I really love the quote "Accept the wrong, come to terms with it and then ask what next." I find myself trying to do this in my life, but it is a constant struggle between the woe is me self and the let's just do it self. Great post!
Thanks for sharing your reflection and interaction with the reading. I could really feel as you worked through the reading and had your "aha" moments.
