Fear was king

Fear of financial uncertainty

Fear of not being interesting anymore.

Fear of letting go of what I have. Fear kept me captive in a golden cage.

And then I found Lynette and Graham's Mathamagical.

I was shaken awake.

A determination ignited.

A sparkle, a fire, falling in love with life...

I jump into an adventure now.

I have confidence.

Faith is the key, self-awareness the keyhole.

My heart knows the way to my kingdom.

Dancing with life is my engine.

I go for it! ✨

I had to really take some time to think through what this poem meant for me. The last year has been so transformational because I finally had the courage to let go of my comfort zone and step out in faith without being keyed in on a direction or knowing what was next. I think the most important thing I have learned in the process is to remain open to growth, but not try to force my own growth. Healthy growth comes through faith and listening to God's direction and being willing to wait when his guidance doesn't come right away. I'm not the most patient person, so sometimes the waiting is the hardest part. But God's timing is always perfect and in the waiting growth can happen, too. Graham, thanks for the reminder that the discomfort of growth is exhausting but always worth it.
