That's a Wrap
This week I’m turning the page on another chapter in my journey. I haven’t had long to adjust to my new normal yet, but certain I’ll arrive there soon. People often go along in their daily lives not really paying attention to signs and clues. Then, without notice, the landscape suddenly looks different.
I’d been experiencing change over the last couple years at work. My core values weren’t aligning with my environment, which weighed heavy on my heart and even though I looked for other opportunities, they didn’t present themselves. Which in hindsight, I know weren’t meant to; I was exactly where I was meant to be, learning valuable life lessons of what I didn’t want and more importantly, what I did want.
People get into the same rut day-in and day-out; believing it’s too much effort and would rather stay in their current situation, than risk change. It’s scary when the future is unknown or unseen. Why does fear of something new stop us from taking the direction our true self is nudging us toward? We fear the worst, rather than trust our inner guidance.
Recently, I was pushed out of the nest with no other option than to fly; encouraging and daring me to trust my inner guidance. That compass is nudging me to feel inspired and free to discover and create, using my gifts and talents to make a difference in the world. It’s nudging me to be in the presence of people that lift each other up in a supportive and respectful manner, even though their differences may not align. It’s directing me to an environment that is based on heart-centered values and goals rather than bottom line math. Both giving and receiving to feel trusted, respected and supported.
When you realize you’ve been dealing with contrast, which is knowing what you don’t want in order to understand what you do want, let that be your guide. It’s our warning system that leads us to our heart and ultimately to our calling. To my new and shiny “whatever is waiting for me’…….I’m coming for you. I’m ready to share, give and inspire in this thing called life. Are you being nudged to do the same?
To the last chapter along my journey and old normal……that’s a wrap. Looking forward to what the next page reveals.
