Talking about it Tuesday...

“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.”
~Rumi

Rumi encourages the lost, the wanderer, the seeker, the lover to perpetually 'Come.' As we walk towards our authenticity, we begin to straighten our posture with congruence.  Our source of brilliance arises from the innermost workings of our being.  We announce our alignment.  We claim our voice.  We rejoice in our homecoming. 
This brilliant TedX Talk from Dr. Maria Sirois offers an encouraging voice for the journey.  Her delivery and presentation are reminiscent of curling up with a dear friend.  She tenderly energizes her audience to explore the gifts of authenticity.  The progressive message of this talk unhurriedly brings the listener to 3 core foundations of authenticity: 

• When we are authentic, we are self authoring.  This means we create the vision of our lives.  We trust our guts.  We explore the territories of our hearts.  We invest in our dreams.  We passionately expand the territory of our desires.  We devote our hearts to love.  And as Rumi suggests, we continually 'come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.'
• We are congruent.  Our likes and dislikes are congruent across the board.  We aren't wishy-washy.  We live our lives in harmony.  We sync our actions up with our passions.  We live from a space of love. 
  
• We give ourselves permission to be fully human. Relief.  Joy.  Gratitude. Tears.  Acceptance.  Allowance.  Freedom.  Permission. Create.  Sorrow.  Love.  Harmony.  Devotion.  Emotion. 
  

It is my hope that as you watch this talk with Dr. Maria Sirois you will begin to animate a more authentic life.  May the words of Rumi echo off your heart.  Tap into this center of your being. 
Rest here. 
Dwell here. 
Create here. 
Live here. 
Love here.
Come here. 

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
