“I know there is more to this life than what I am seeing. I can’t explain it, but I can feel it. I’ve felt it my entire life. There is something wrong and I have to figure it out.”
~ Thomas Anderson, The Matrix ~
Are you an Upside-down Hero(ine)?
a soul who knows you are here to live a better story, but feels trapped in a "groundhog day" plot line that is costing you precious resources, relationships, and sanity
Everyone changes the world,
for better or worse, whether we know it or not.
A few do it via bestselling pages and global stages.
Most of us do it in our home, workplace, and community.
The details of What, Where, When, and Who
don’t matter as much as the How.
The words and tones.
The postures and expressions.
The questions and the invitations.
The assumptions and demands.
The articulated intentions and unconscious agendas.
The decisions to diminish others.
The subtle sacrifices of self.
All the minor Hows add up to the final Whats
because humans mimic what we are modeled, not what we are told.
If we are going to change the world for the better,
by raising emotionally healthy children,
birthing a new paradigm,
and/or replacing failing leaders,
we must stop mimicking and start modeling… mindfully.
But how?
By using our pens and the power of Story to uncover the internal wars
that sabotage our intentions and undermine our missions.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
