This is My Story: What is Yours? Part IX
You've got to jump off cliffs everyday
and build your wings on the way down.

This is Part IX of a twelve part blog. Part I begins on 09/03/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.
Below is a poem by Eileen Cady, a co-founder of the Findhorn Community that I feel can help you to better understand the process and the opportunity that you are offering yourself when you consciously choose to really “be true” to yourself.
I would suggest that you read this passage over slowly and carefully a couple of times and let its message sink in. For within it is contained the keys to taking courage and to “replacing” and transmuting all that which is not you into all that which is!
What does it mean to you to live by faith?
Where is your security? Is it in people?
In your bank account?
Or is it firmly rooted and grounded in Me,
the Lord your God, the divinity within you?
Take time to ponder on it,
and you will know without a shadow of doubt
exactly where your faith and security lie.
Can you joyously and fearlessly take a big step
in your life without any seeming outer security?
When you know something is right,
can you do it without hesitation?
Can you confidently put your hand in Mine and say,
'Thy will be done,'
and mean it with your whole heart and soul,
and take that step into the unknown,
willing to accept whatever comes?
The only way to build up faith
is by taking those small and even faltering steps
and then bigger ones until your faith is so strong
that you can take great leaps into the unknown
because you know I AM with you always.
