En"lighten"ment

What en-lighten-ment feels like to me is this:
It's freedom from the ego. It's observing it, seeing it as it is, what it does to keep us hiding from our real selves and deciding to let it go...Surrender. It's about facing what's uncomfortable. For some of us it's facing an addiction and an addiction is an escape from not wanting to see what's inside. It's observing the wonder of why some of us take one step forward and two steps back? We gotta question these behaviors. Most of us "hide" behind this facade of addictions, behaviors etc, which is not who we really are. Once you begin to experience the depth of your truth, it's an emotional freedom that is free! You become transparent. Most great leaders of influence are transparent. There is nothing to hide, they allow you to experience who they really are. This is who I am. Learn to love your curiousity...

Definition of Decide:
-to Cut Off
-to bring to a Definitive End
-to Conclude
I've decided to get out from this comfort zone. I've been comfortable for too long. Now is my time to get uncomfortable, to stretch, to take a reflective look at the fear of success.Just reflecting on this topic I can already feel the resistance and the excitement at the same time which is good sign that I'm on track. I've been uncomfortable before in other areas of my life that caused me to stretch and grow in those areas.
The excitement for me comes from identifying the area that I must explore. I know I must "go there" knowing that this is the mountain that causes me to take a step forward and two steps back. I realize that I have the fear of success. I'm going there to explore it, to question it, to see deep down inside if that is the truth for me.
My homework is draw a line down the middle of the paper and on the left side I write "Advantages from not changing" and on the left "Disadvantages of not changing" then after that list goes the "Advantages of change" and then the "Disadvantage of change."
hmmm...This is going to be fun!
