STIRRING


The nest is the environment that we build for ourselves.  We make it comfortable.

And that’s the problem.  The nest becomes so comfortable, so safe and so familiar that we don’t catch the moment that this nest becomes our prison.   

The thing is our environment is temporary, it is a thing in flux that expands relative to our growth. 

When the sticks of our nest start poking us in the ribs instead of paying attention we start eating too much, drinking too much, spending too much time at work, too much time socializing, too much time trying to distract ourselves, too much time making excuses.      

If we paid attention we’d realize that the nest has become too small, too constrictive.  If we paid attention we’d realize that our body and soul is seeking to transition, to grow, to learn.  This is a wonderful thing.

Transition, growth, change is an imperative whether our ambitions are modest or spectacular.  

Growth is disruptive.  Growth stirs our environment.  If there's a rustling in the sticks of your nest, pay attention.
