I had yet another inspirational chat with my friend, David VanAmburg yesterday and, as always, I was left with a gem that I got to ponder for the rest of the day. It came when I was expressing my frustration about events that are happening in the world today. Why do powerful people often not see the folly of their decisions?...and he said..."But it's because most people come to this life thinking their job is to GROW UP...and they forget to WAKE UP."
I had a visual of a rose growing ever taller and straighter in the garden, reaching to grab the most air, the most sunshine; to be taller than ALL the other roses around it - but failing to let its petals naturally unfold to expose the beauty of what a rose was truly meant to be.
What would it mean to you to being in the process of WAKING UP!
