(Video) What Makes You Come Alive?
When I go for a walk or have tea with a friend I have not seen in a while, I always ask the same question: What’s making you come alive right now? I love the way they light up and how their eyes sparkle when they share their response to my question. Their entire demeanor changes; they look transformed!
This week I’m sitting with the question, “What makes me come alive?” and reminding myself about how I want to FEEL and BE as I move through my life (read a recent post on course correcting).
My dear friends and teaching assistants Nicole and Val continually challenge me to stay awake and alive! Photo: Big Sur, CA where we explored a Eucalyptus grove after leading a retreat!
Want more? From our favorites vault, read What Makes You Come Alive? Howard Thurman offers, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” For support on reconnecting to your passions, listen to my recent podcast with my friend Nadine/Heart of the Story on Awakening Your Wild Soul and join me for the FREE Self-Care Summit (details below)!
