How afraid are you of dying?

This fear... is what causes so many of us to stay in situations that are causing us pain... and not taking the steps that will allow things to change.

In every hero's journey there's a moment where they have a decision to make.

The movie that never gets made is the one where the main character knows what he needs to do... and just never takes action.

The movie that we watch and relate to and get inspired by and tell our friends to go and see is the one where despite the fear, regardless of the doubt, in the face of what seems like insurmountable challenge, danger and things that could go wrong... the hero makes a go of it.

They put themselves out there and follow what they know is the right thing to do.

They demand more for themselves and the world.

They stand for something.

They decide that it is necessary, that they matter, that they are worthy of triumph and even if it's not going to work out in their favour... it's worth trying.

This episode is about the courage to step forward and embrace change when it's clear that's what's needed.

This is a "where are they now - ONE YEAR LATER" episode.

Just over a year ago I made the choice to deconstruct my life.

I left my partner, my home and it just so happened that was the same year I was to be completing my studies as a Vedic Meditation teacher.

That process was deep and intense... and was the peak moment of "death" - where my old self was pulled out by the socket... and then came the process of rebuilding my identity, my life and constructing a new reality for myself. A true realignment.

So how did I navigate it?

That's what this episode traverses.

It dives into why we fear change and stay stuck - even when our current situation is causing us pain.

P.S Change doesn’t have to be drastic and almost total. It can be in the smallest ways - but the needed ways. This is what stops the suffering - moving with and allowing the change to happen that you can see needs to happen.
