Listen to the body. It has all our ancestors within. Lots of mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, from the beginning of time…all recorded in our DNA. We also have access to the entire living collective via our body and spirit, both.
As we emerge we learn to be our own birthing doulas. There is no other way once we are adults. We must reparent ourselves.

Motivation is largely unconscious and connected to our ancestral lineage. It doesn’t actually have any rational sense in any sort of conventional sense. We tell a lot of stories about motivation but ultimately we don’t even actually have much if any control over what it is we do.

It’s important to live life with the experience, and therefore the knowledge, of its mystery and of your own mystery. This gives life a new radiance, a new harmony, a new splendor. Thinking in mythological terms helps to put you in accord with the inevitables of this vale of tears. You learn to recognize the positive values in what appear to be the negative moments and aspects of your life. The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. ~ Joseph Campbell, Power of Myth With Bill Moyers
I don’t know Who — or what — put the question, I don’t know when it was put. I don’t even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone — or Something — and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal. ~ Dag Hammarskjöld
