What is in your gravel pit?
Last week we reflected on who we believe we are. Now we will take a look at what is happening in your life right now. Changes cannot be made until we are aware of what is working and what isn’t working and why.
Step 2 – Exploring your gravel pit
Within our gravel pits we will find many things of no value and things that hinder us and keep us from taking more purposeful steps.
Within the rocks and deep pits we can also find the potential for something of value and promise.
Be honest in your exploration. Take ownership. You can’t run away from mistakes or bad choices. Neither can we run away from the harm others may have inflicted on you. There are no quick fixes. Acceptance of where we are is the precursor of making new choices. If we get stuck in anger, hatred, retribution or refusing to let go of what had been, we will be unable to move forward.
