I’ll never forget an experiential workshop I attended with Jean Houston several years ago. We were invited (as participants in the audience) to “act out” what it was, that we would be doing with our lives 5 years into the future. Everyone around me started mimicking the movements of designing something, creating, typing, etc. But me? I wanted to be up on stage doing what Jean Houston was doing? She stood there (in front of hundreds of us) and challenged us to “step into the role”. It was “now or never”. I was frozen! How could I go down there, and stand in front of all those people, and act like I was inspiring all of those people? I moved toward the stage with trepidation. While she was taking a break, I stood up in front of all those people (who were totally ignoring me and doing their own thing), and started to act like I was speaking as the motivational, inspiring, powerhouse that I was destined to become. What an experience! Some people looked at me, and I knew that they KNEW that I was doing my thing. Some looked away, still trying to figure out what they were supposed to be doing. I’ll never forget that experience and how empowered I felt, just going for it.
