2 Sides of the Same Coin

We are either engaged with life, living it from our core, living our passions, our purpose, aligned with and seated in our identity.

Or, we survive, make our way through life, we get by, we make do, we compromise who we are in order to be a part of the system, going through the motions, we pay our dues to get where we want to go.

The 1st part is about being in your flow, designing your life, and working and cooperating with people who resonate with your story and value your work while pushing you and challenging you to remain true to yourself, making your life more authentic, engaging and exciting.

The 2nd part struggles to find meaning and purpose in what it does. Connection to inner self has been lost through or numbed by the predominant systems and structures in which they work. Therefore, you are fundamentally shaped by the systems in order to stay afloat.

Neither is right or wrong. You have a choice. You can choose to live in the contracted realm, pushing back against yourself as well as the systems and structures you find yourself in. Or, you can choose to live in the expansive realm where you have the skillful means and the maturity to deal with increasing complexity while developing your passion and purpose.
