Wikipedia <\/a>the author of the notable quote, “Go big or go home,” is unknown. Too bad. I could give him\/her a shout-out today because I just appropriated the saying for my own usage.<\/p>\nToday in the grocery store, among the lettuce heads and fennel bulbs, a friend called X and I got to talking about one of my favourite subjects: the Healing Path. We hadn’t seen each other for a while so we got caught up on our lives in general and then before we knew it we were getting Real.<\/p>\n
X shared with me a recent decision he’d made to take some time off to focus on his personal growth.”I’m taking care of myself,” he said. “I’m getting down to the core.”<\/p>\n
“Good for you,” I said, “We gotta go deep or go home.”<\/p>\n
X’s response was to laugh but in a genuinely frustrated way.”Why?” he protested. “Why do we have to go deep? No one else is doing it! Look around! People are just doing whatever and they’re fine with it!”<\/p>\n
“Are they?” I asked. “We don’t know that. People may look fine but we don’t really know for certain. We can’t compare other people’s outsides with our insides.”<\/p>\n
“Ignorance is bliss,” said X.<\/p>\n
I agree. The problem only occurs when the bliss stops. We get sick or we have an accident. Or a Still, Small Voice gnaws at us quietly, bugging us to make a change. Some people can ignore these Signs. Some people can’t. I am one of the ones who can’t.<\/p>\n
Oh, I tried. Believe me I did. I tried for years to ignore the Deeper Call. Didn’t work. No more can do. I raised the white flag. Surrender to win.<\/p>\n
That’s the good news. We really do win when we decide to heed to Higher Guidance.\u00a0There is pain, yes. We will have to grieve. Uh-huh. But underneath the pain is a very, very “deep” wellspring of Love.<\/p>\n
So it’s GDGH all the way for me, my friends. TG.<\/p>\n
Inspiring Message of the Day: <\/em>Despite the fear of pain I will answer the Deeper Call. I will trust that by going to the core of my issues I will eventually uncover my Highest Good.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dearest Readers, According to Wikipedia the author of the notable quote, “Go big or go home,” is unknown.
