I recently had an AHA moment that really has me thinking.
I’ve always said (and truly believe) that if I died today, I wouldn’t feel like I missed anything. I love my life. Deeply. Fully. Every corner feels rich with meaning, every experience complete. But as I sat with this thought, a little whisper asked: Is this love of my life keeping me from trying something new?
Could this unwavering contentment be a disguise for staying safely within the known? For avoiding the discomfort of stepping into something unfamiliar?
It’s such a Wild Awake question, isn’t it? To be awake to how we might unknowingly hold ourselves back, even in the midst of what feels like true alignment.
Loving your life doesn’t mean there isn’t more out there. Adventures you haven’t yet dreamed of. Ways of being that might feel just as rich, just as satisfying—but require you to stretch a little further, lean a little deeper, or say yes to something entirely unexpected.
This realization made me wonder:
- When was the last time I did something for the first time?
- Is loving my life a shield I use to avoid risking change?
- What could open up for me if I said yes to new adventures—not from a place of dissatisfaction, but from the sheer possibility of more?
As I reflect on this, I invite you to join me in asking these questions for yourself. Where in your life are you deeply content but perhaps unknowingly stagnant? What’s one new experience you could open yourself to—not because anything is wrong, but because everything could be even more alive?
This AHA moment is the heartbeat of the Wild Awake Woman philosophy: living a life you love and staying open to the growth and possibilities that come when we say yes to the unknown.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. What new adventure is calling you, no matter how small?
