Reflections on self-rEvolution

Posted on November 13, 2012 by Leslie R Singer, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right. ~John Lennon and Paul McCartney

It’s a new dawn; it’s a new day; some would say it’s the Age of Aquarius. Call it what you will, the old paradigm is shifting. The proverbial seams have busted on our ‘super-size me’ way of living exposing our weaknesses, our fears, our greed, our ignorance; the dark side of humanity, if you will. All beached and belly up we are now vulnerable. Our realities…, well, are no longer real. The loss is so great, so grand and oh so good. Yes, good.

No doubt that this is a crucial juncture of our time and of our own personal lives. We could accept the fear-based messaging that comes from both external and internal sources to wallow and blame OR channel our energies to co-create the hope-full present we desire for ourselves and this planet. What is your choice? Yes, you and yes, you have a choice. Check it out!

Our collective consciousness is on the rise. AWARENESS is the new black. NOW is the when. And best of all there are no degrees required, no velvet rope policy, no age restrictions, and free parking for everyone.

Look around, we have taken the ‘make-over’ and pumped it up to TRANSFORMATION and it’s about damn time. For those of us who have been on our surreptitious personal growth quests, we can now emerge as the welcoming committee for the rest. And I welcome you, all of you. I invite you to your self-rEvolution, because your self- rEvolution will ultimately be humankind’s rEvolution.

rEvolution: a process of fundamental change in the way of thinking, feeling and behaving; a change of paradigm, with an emphasis on continuous personal growth

The inner process of self- reformation is the most fundamental and vital of all revolutions. It is a rEvolution of a sort that takes no victims, where everyone wins. It begins by transforming our lives from the core and involves identifying and challenging those things which inhibit the full expression of our “positive potential and humanity.”

The time is now to bust a move and live our big, bold, beautiful, bodacious lives!

Here’s the good news. You can elevate your life condition by taking small action steps; a random act of kindness, keeping your word, expressing your gratitude, showing your appreciation, and so on.

Here is the even better news. Taking on your self-rEvolution (the transformation of your life) is the impetus for creating a society based on compassion, respect, tolerance, dignity for all peoples.

Want to make a revolutionary footprint, leave a profound legacy (before you leave this lifetime)? Want to make for a better world?

Take inventory. What are your core values? Are you living by or up to your core values or are you taking the path of least resistance, giving in to habits? Commit to being the very best person you can be and yes, it’s gonna be all right!
