A New Hat

"Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for every

shortcoming and failure along the way."

Alex Elle

We are often called to leave parts of our past behind.  Mentally, we may be able to see the wisdom in this, but physically be incapable of following through.  We may attempt to vacate, only to return until situations become intolerable.

As we are beckoned forward, it is challenging to leave others behind.  When we move forward alone, feelings of vulnerability and high risks test our endurance.  Although we may acknowledge the necessity of cleansing, feelings of vulnerability sky rocket.

It is when we travel a great distance forward that we are able to understand the necessity of challenge from the past.  Life is a process, calling us forward and allowing  opportunities to choose different hats.  Which hat will be next?
