Awake, Aware, Alive - The Cycle of Life

I thought it would benefit our readers to provide a refresher on the purpose of this blog. It's simple - at the Resonant Man we seek to inspire men to their aliveness. We do this by sharing many observations and perspectives, both contemporary and not. Almost always, the blog entries are based on people, events or lessons learnt that inspire the writer and he wants to share them with you. So what makes for aliveness? It's a simple but not easy 3-step process: Awake: To become awake to ones truth is a journey that many don't embark upon all their life. To have the courage to look at your life and honestly evaluate yourself, in all areas of your life. If you are short of a 10 (on a 1 to 10 scale where 10 is the best) in any area and awake to knowing you are there, that's the first step. Aware: Once you are awake to the truth of where you are, to become consciously aware of your choices is step 2. Aware that there is a greater good possible for you, if you choose. Aware that you have not been satisfied in one or more areas of your life and are willing to make changes. That's a great place to be. Alive: With the groundwork set, the work done to make the change - you have the opportunity to accept that greater good that is available to all of us, once we are awake to it and aware it's in our reach. This is the step when we radiate at the highest energy and live fully in harmony with our purpose. Remember, life purpose is what it's about. It doesn't matter what it is as long as you are clear that it's what your inner-self has called you forth to step into. It doesn't matter big or small, what matters is you feel alive when you are being, doing and having the life you always dreamed of having - right here, right now! Finally, when you do hit "10" in all areas of your life - build your next 10 and go for it! That's the cycle of life as we are born alive every morning and we die every night, simply having the opportunity to start over when you awaken the next morning.
