The poem began:
'Inside an egg a chicken grows and grows. So soon that shell has lost its power to shelter, now a prison tight become. The growth of life itself puts pressure on that shell inside, insists it give way. crack! split! wide open, release the life within.'
Have you found yourself in the situation where you feel enormously pressured? The old structures that used to be so comfortable and secure no longer provide that for you. You may even feel like something is about to crack. What is it that life is doing to you? What is going on?
The poem continued:
'For little chick perhaps that birth's a death, worlds collapsing, all hell breaking loose.'
For us to transition into greater things in life there must be a death. The old giving way to the new. It's often unpleasant and at times traumatic, but still a necessary process if ever we are to grow. Maybe you are in one of those situations now or can look back and see how true this principle is. Not knowing what is on the other side is often what holds us back. The fear of the unknown. We would prefer to remain with the known.
'But big mother hen awaits, clucks comfort and encouragement and after weeks of warmth invites the chick into a wider world, knows where grubs are caught, water drunk and grain to fill the gullet, a sun to warm and stretch and COCK-A-DOODLE in, if we would just emerge !'
Victor Marsh
Whether it is your career, the company you work for, the business you have or the relationship which needs to end, real life and growth always means transitions. Remember what it was like being a teenager? They say that a teenager is an adult in transition. Some get stuck and remain emotionally stunted, unable to take on the responsibilities of adulthood and the privileges it brings.
In the time of transition remember these things:
- Life is never static - only death.
- Don't resist change - or you'll remain rigid and stunted.
- Look for options as to what might be on the other side - think possibilities. You've been given an imagination to create.
- Have faith - trust, believe and expect that this experience will only take you on to bigger and better things.

Have you seen 'The Secret'? The DVD 'The Secret' is having quite an impact on people as they become aware of universal laws and that our thoughts create our experience. Life is not a random series of experiences but what we have created ourselves by our predominant mental attitude.
If you've seen the DVD let me know what you thought of it.
