Who Are You Becoming?
We are all headed somewhere. The question is where. People either grow, move forward, and evolve, or get stuck, stop learning, and become a victim. It really boils down to these two perspectives and we get to choose. We often fight change because it scares us and reveals how little power we have. The status quo can be comfortable, at least temporarily, because we think we "know" what we are doing, what we can count on, and where we are going. Unfortunately, that is really not true. My friend, Jamie Winship, has a book coming out, "The War of Worldviews", where he discusses the factors that reveal what path we are on. Most of us are on a separated worldview path where we live in scarcity, we want certainty, we seek perfectionism, and we are self-protective. In a connected worldview, we believe we are enough, we can live in the mystery of the unknown to take the next step, we embrace fallibility (mistakes are opportunities) and we stop surviving because we learn what it means to really love. The filters by which we view life impacts every element of our lives. Most of us don't know the perspectives by which we walk out each day but it matters. We are not victims to our thinking - we choose how we see things. What choices are you making?

This statement is probably the most clear mirror to my being that I have read. This is why I’m open to changing my ways when interacting with my children. I’m hoping I can become the kind of person they might choose to spend time with. Especially to reconnect with my estranged daughter.
