One of the exercises in our Beyond Freedom Evolution Quickstart course this past week was about your Compass Heading – 2 or 3 words you live by. The lesson mentioned about being honest and true and choosing what would be in alignment with your purpose and help you go in the direction of your North Star. This has been on my mind this week.
Another truth that I often think about is: What you teach is often what you need to learn yourself. Do you find this true for you too? I have so often found words coming out of my mouth to help a friend or family member that resonate so much with me and I realize that what I just said is the answer to a problem I’m facing, or a solution to something that is holding me back.
Tonight I was writing a message to a friend and shared a well known saying I have spoken many, many times over the years: Where there is a will, there is a Way. The moment I sent the message I realized that this was my new compass heading, Where there is a will – I need to work more on my will, my desire, my WHY. I know my why for creating success in my life: to provide a great life for my husband and I. But somehow I need more than just that. I need to focus on a reason that ignites a fire within me, not just a longing for something more. It’s time to dig even deeper to find what I’m truly passionate about, what excites and drives me, what makes me want to get out of bed every morning and work on my dreams. For so many years I laboured under a false belief that somehow it was wrong to put myself first, or that trying to find my own happiness was somehow selfish.
I can see this is going to take some journaling to dig beneath the surface on this one, but it’s an exciting journey! Time for me to finish this sentence: What I really want is…..
