obsolote

Obsolete.

I heard this word the other day in a way that got me to feel into the energy flow around ‘obsolete’. 

There are many things around us, such as systems, beliefs, organizations, and ‘stuff’ that are obsolete. But we keep using them because they are there. 

Sometimes they are broken; sometimes there is something better. But what is interesting is how we hang onto them because they are familiar. A routine. Available. 

Our desire for comfort and our fear of change keep us stuck.

Until we’re willing to be uncomfortable, we’ll remain stuck. Until we’re willing to change the things that we do, we’ll remain stuck. 

Change usually doesn’t happen with the big, jump out of airplane type events. Change usually happens with the boring, daily routines. 

Boring. 

Until you look back a year later and see that you’re a different person.

Less obsolete stuff. More authentic stuff.
