The following is paraphrased from "Six Transition Conversations that Matter" by Shaktari Belew:
"The Invitation Conversation. Transition occurs through choice, not mandate. First one must become aware that a choice exists. We don't want to simply enroll and assign tasks to people, the goal is to engage each other as partners. Without self-enrollment, participants perform for the benefit of others instead of for their own curiosity, joy and satisfaction.
The invitation is the call to mindfully explore oneself and life in the context of answering the following questions:
What types of invitations allow ourselves to grant ourselves permission to participate and own the relationships, tasks, and processes that we choose?
How can we design our choices so that they challenge us to stay involved? "
Find a way to invite yourself to become aware of a sustainable choice, mindfully explore this choice and how you can participate and stay involved. Experiment with ways that will keep you engaged and committed. Oh yea, and have fun at it.
