Episode Notes

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

Carl Jung wrote, “I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.”

When I was young I couldn’t wait to grow up and become me. Along the way much happened.  When I was younger I called it fate or chance. Later, wiser I learned to call it choice.

Over time I chose to burn to ashes who or what I no longer needed or wanted, that which was no longer necessary or vital to my life.

What happened then? The wind stirred up the ashes of my fire, they flew into the night sky and became stars to remind me of where I’d come from and who I might have been.

Practical Tip: Sometimes we have to be burned to ashes to become our real selves. What have you chosen to let go of to become your true self?  And, what do you remember when you gaze at the stars that came from the ashes of those fires?

 

This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories – stay for the magic. Speaking of magic, would you share a nice rating/review on iTunes and when you come back bring your friends and rellies.
