“A chick pecks its way out of its eggshell and is born into the world when a toxic gas fills up the interior of the egg. At that point, it is literally dying to be born.
Is there a toxic situation in your life that it’s time to break free of in order to born to the next level of your existence? Is there a symbolic eggshell surrounding you that is time to peck away at, freeing yourself to live more fully?”
Marianne Williamson
I love this question and I love the visual it portrays, how we can literally feel like we are suffocating in life and need to start pecking holes in what we are doing.
And I love “dying to be born”.
Most changes, at least life altering changes, require a dying in order for there to be a birth, a letting go in order to grab on to something new, a giving up one way before gaining something new.
Change is a one two step.
“You have to be willing to let go of who you are, to become who you want to be.” I can’t remember the author of that quote, but Wayne Dyer uses this often.
The little chick can’t stay in the egg and be born, she has to be willing to get out of her toxic life in order to thrive.
And the greatest news is that we will know intuitively when the time has come, when we can no longer remain in a relationship, when its toxic energies simply overwhelm and threaten to kill the essence of who we are IF we are to remain inside the shell of that old relationship.
Like a very brave little chick, we have to go out into a very big and strange land…leaving behind a relationship we have outgrown.
As the little chick, once we peck our way free of this toxicity, we are free to live a life we can’t even imagine it can be.
From a small confined limiting space to the wide-open field of pure potential that Rumi speaks about.
The visual is striking, a dark small space of an eggshell or the expanse that surrounds it.
Held in the darkness or bathed in the Light.
