Every week, FSTI Alumni Erick Slivermoon Garcia creates a fabulous blog post to accompany our What's Up Wednesday calls and our Fearless Friday Videos! _________________________________________________ This weeks What's Up Wednesday? Call with Flora Sage, we talked about destinations and how we feel once we get there. If you found a book that was about your entire life; past, present, and future- would you go straight to the end of the book to find out how it ends, OR ,would you sit and start reading from the beginning? Yes, I would have to say that skipping ahead would be very tempting but I would much rather start from the beginning of my journey and experience it all. Flora mentions that when we finally reach that destination that we set out to have, is it what we expected it would be? Think about every destination you have experienced whether it was going to the gym, reading a book, going on a vacation, and/or going to see a movie. Now, think about how you felt after you got to those destinations. Have they been what you expected them to be? Many of us set out to experience something because we heard it from someone else that it was an amazing experience. Flora used the example of Ireland. So you want to go to Ireland because it looks beautiful and everyone tells you how amazing it is. YAY, you finally get there. You are in Ireland! Shit! Now what am I going to do? Did I rush through this experience? Did I enjoy the journey getting to my destination? Did I plan another destination to take me to a new destination? Sometimes we don't plan ahead. We might not think to realize that once we get to where it is we want to go that we have no idea what it is we are wanting to experience. What actually happens when we rush, rush, rush, is that we miss the experience of that journey. If I asked you how was "Ireland" what would you say? "Um...it was Ireland all right!?!" How many time do we expect something and hope that it would be something better but it ends up being not what we expected? Because of these types of moments, so many people want to be handed the destination. They might be feeling like the journey to it will be a waste of time or not as exciting as getting to the place of interest. Our entire life is a journey and it is important to feel and experience every inch of it. We are meant to experience this life fully. What is the story we will tell people of our lives when we get to be 80+ years wiser? Flora asked: Why are you choosing to do what you do? What are you choosing to feel when you do the things you do? Some of us race to get to feeling happy and feeling fulfilled but realize that it wasn't what we expected because in actuality the happiness and fulfillment feelings lied in the little things that made up that journey. Often enough life throws us a curve ball that derails us from our original destination. Do we complain about the derailment or do we see it as a new adventure? Flora gave us a challenge for this week. The challenge is to look at that destination that you are moving towards. Why are you choosing to move towards that goal/destination? What are you hoping to get out of it? Be very specific on what it is that you are wanting to experience and feel from that destination. Have in mind another destination to take you forward once you reach your original destination.
