"Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and tomorrow you arrive there and know them by inhabiting them," Emerson.
To leave what is comfortable in one's personality and choose to change requires if not a leap of faith, at least a step of faith --- into the unknown. As humans we seem hardwired to fear what we do not know, until we consciously choose to not be fearful. According to Jesse Jennings old world maps depicted the areas that had not been explored with dragons, as if to say if one dares to venture there, you will encounter danger. That is reflective of how our psyche views unfamiliar things, attitudes, behaviors, ideas. So, to continue on our hero's journey, we must cross the threshold into the unknown. There will be mentors to assist us at least periodically, but most of all we must trust our own intuition. To change requires leaving the familiar behind.
What new way could we be, perhaps just attitudinally, in your caregiving?
