*** Article: Could Life Be AWEsome? - By Carole Hodges ***
------------------------------------------------------------

Stop for a moment. Dream back to the time when you were limitless. Maybe you were 4 or 5 or even 7 -- before you learned the word "impossible." You could be invisible, or fly, or walk through walls. Feel that tingle of your unlimited possibility.

Could you accept that this incredible power is your REAL truth? Simply and innocently accept that reality for a moment now. Feel the wonder of your authentic wildness. Could it be that what you're feeling is your connection to universal source?

That's your Authentic Wildness Expressed (AWE). It's your creativity and magic. It's calling to you.

AWE creates the super hero and the beautiful princess. The exotic dance and the daring adventure.

AWE is fearless, curious, and spontaneous. Remember picking up a bee by its wings, or climbing the roof to see the view or running through sprinklers on a hot day?
Then we grow up. Become mature. So we know better than to believe in our unboundedness. And we leave AWE behind. We live in the certainty that reality is serious. We measure our time in rational buckets.

Fantasy is not held in high regard in the world of growing up. We leave it behind to fill a role as mother, father, boss, manager or neighbor. We tell ourselves it is time to mow the lawn instead of rolling in the grass. We leave the adventure for our children or grandchildren. As we watch them, something is calling to us still. Their untamed energy touches our hearts. And, if we're lucky, it opens us to outrageous possibilities.

Look carefully, and you'll find it is still there for you, fueling fascination with Olympic athletes, or other acts of daring and excellence. AWE fuels bravery and deep compassion.

If we're truly wise, we never give up that longing. You could wear a red hat. Travel to Africa. Start a new business. Or take up singing. How dare you be outrageous? Actually, how outrageous do you dare to be?

Consider the oldest person we know of: Jeanne Calment. She lived to 122. She began fencing lessons at age 85. She continued to ride a bike until she was over 100.
Following our hearts in AWE can add more time to our life or put more life in our time.

If you think that AWE is self indulgent -- think again. AWE is not about YOU. AWE is what was given to you by the divine source. It's part of your divine contract. It's the power you were sent here to deliver. Recognizing it and honoring it restores your personal connection with the Divine. In short, AWE is not only your gift to the world, but puts you in deep touch with your profoundest truth.

If you, like many others, have left your sense of wonder behind, take heart. It is never too late to reconnect with your AWE. If you are willing to defy expectation, then 40, 60 or 80 can be a perfect time to discover your divine purpose and truth.

AWE is the connection to youth, curiosity and adventure. It's your Outrageous Choice to tap into this boundless source energy and live from your deepest heart.
