Often, it takes a Giant knocking on the door before we are roused from slumber. The divorce, the diagnosis, the layoff, the mid-life crisis – these Giants have spurred men and women to introspective action for ages. These catalysts, when confronted with honesty and a willingness to follow one’s call, can serve to re-align one’s actions with one’s purpose. This re-alignment is like hooking yourself up to a cosmic battery, because it taps into a power source previously unimagined. The result can lead to increased vitality, fulfillment, and effectiveness in your life.

I’ve had some Giants visit me already, and I’ve utilized them well for life change. I can feel another one on its way, too, and I’m choosing to do my inner work now, again, and to take action towards my dreams. Maybe I can even head this one off.

Perhaps you’ve already had a recent visit from a Giant. Are you going to squander the opportunity, or use it to recreate your life?

Perhaps a Giant hasn’t yet come a calling. Maybe you have another day, another year, another decade, even, until it does. Are you going to wait for such an unwelcome visitor, or is it possible to step into your courage a bit early?
