"A grownup is a child with layers on."
Woody Harrelson
From birth, we are molded into whom others think we should be. We are told who we look like or resemble, instructed based on other's expectations, and falsely guided by hidden motivations. When do we start privately thinking, "This just doesn't feel quite right". While glancing into a mirror, we may even wonder who that person is looking back at us.
There is no benefit in unearthing who said or did whatever. The backward search is intended to peal off the layers that no longer belong. We will be surprised how much better we feel throughout the shedding process. With a new sense of freedom, we can begin to make decisions that guide and support our personal journey.
There is a woman who longed to tap dance since childhood, but she was consistently told she was just too big. At age 60, she gifted herself with lessons and has tap danced ever since. So what is a hidden desire that can be brought into our current reality? Even if modified, what measures will begin to feed the creative soul?
