Growth and Expansion

It has been said that growth does not occur in straight lines. Growth occurs in cycles, in both time and space. In fact, the oldest universal symbol is a circle.

Dynamic Transitioners know that a firm foundation is critical for the successful unfolding of discovering who you are. Know Thyself The Power of YOU is Point#1 for a reason. This profound process of discovering who you are and what your purpose in life might be is constantly evolving and unfolding - like a lotus of a thousand petals.

Many of us expect a straight line to our goals and dreams. We expect a straight line through our transitions. It simply doesn't happen this way. You must be inwardly prepared to accept greater good in your life. It has been said that there must be an inworking before there is an outworking.

I was speaking with someone recently who was in what could be described as a "dark period". It seemed that fear and uncertainty were dogging her every step. Growth needs light. and it turns out that growth also needs "dark". Sometimes dark periods spur on necessary transitions. These dark periods can literally lift you out of a stagnate place and compel you upwards and onwards.

Dynamic Transitioners give the seemingly dark periods of their lives the "light touch". The Power of You is to Know Thyself...to dig deep within to prepare for the transitions and the cycles. Growth needs room and expansiveness. Give it the light touch.

Guidelines and Outlines

A friend was recently relaying an experience she had with a transition in her life. She made an interesting comment during our conversation. She said she was searching for "guidelines and outlines" on how to get through tough times. Dynamic Transitioning offers a 7 point outline on getting through transitions that are sprung upon us as well as those we initiate ourselves. What about guidelines? Here are two simple spiritual guidelines you might find helpful:

1. Begin each day with a blessing. Did you know that you are bound to what you curse with ties stronger than steel? When you "hate" something it occupies your mind, body and spirit as a poison. A good antidote to that is to give a blessing treatment to the day in front of you. Bless everyone you meet, bless the traffic, bless your boss, bless your surroundings, bless the planet. Make it a game. See how many things you can bless in one day. Go through your phone book or email address list and bless each name in the book. It may not make a difference in their lives but it will definitely begin to change your life.

2. Greet everyone with a smile. When was the last time you smiled at the grocery store clerk, or the waitress in a restaurant, or a passerby? When you walk into a room isn't it nice to be greeted by a smiling face? Give the gift of your smile to those who least expect it.
Don't be a leaf in the wind tossed willy-nilly about by the transitions in your life. Find power in these simple guidelines and make them part of your foundation.
