Mind The Gap: Taking the Wheel of Your Life
2020 was by far, an incredible year for me.
There was a lot of external chaos + turmoil
with humanity, politics, and the economy,
and interestingly enough, I hear + witness
story after story of people's lives + businesses rising,
and even having their greatest year to date.
This isn't by chance. This is by choice.
I certainly didn't have a challenge-free year.
Nor did those countless other people.
And yes...countless. I can't even tell you how
many people I know that have had
record-breaking years. Not just financially either.
Across the board from romance to riches.
Many of which, have faced disastrous situations,
trauma, and loss.
That still didn't ruin them. Or their outlook. Attitude is everything.
I am SO excited to intentionally steer this next year; to guide + flow in alignement to even greater heights + new adventures! And Honored to Support others in their own desires!
I have found so much liberation in letting go this past year.
🌸Letting go of the need to control everything
🌸Letting go of the need to know everything; every next step. The truth is, the next step always unveils itself to me DURING my work in the current step I'm in.
🌸Letting go of the need to be friends with everyone along my journey.
We meet many people along the ascension journey.
Not everyone you will agree with, even when
you care about them as a person.
Not everyone will become a friend.
Not everyone will be happy with the way you do things.
Be OK with that.
It's not your responsibility to
make friends with everyone
or even keep them 'happy'.
In my short 45 years here,
I have found that many people love
you bunches when you still struggle,
and the moment you step into your power
or even disagree with them, that 'love' is fleeting.
In order to RISE, to be impactful,
you must Let Go of the need to
Impress others or even be loved by them.
You'll find that many people are
simply a tit-for-tat person.
🌸I've also Let Go of the HOW.
I don't even care a majority of the time
HOW things come to pass anymore;
and if I do, I usually check
myself + quickly let it go.
When I want something to come to pass,
to come into fruition, I focus all my desires +
effort on Directing WHAT is coming into fruition;
WHAT I'm nurturing. WHERE I'm steering.
One of my GREATEST FLAWS is Not Asking For Help.
Somehow, because I have
'done it all' for so many years
because I did what I felt I needed
to do to get things done, I became this
incredibly, indestructible Woman.
And in that process...
I wound up neglecting myself,
not able to soar as high as I am
meant to soar. Because we are carrying
all this excess weight. From others.
From tasks that can be deligated.
Because we don't NEED to do it all.
We don't HAVE TO do it all by ourselves.
This Lesson is one of the hardest lessons to learn
for strong people;
for independent women;
for survivors, overcomers,
high achievers.
For Leaders.
In 2020 I began to hire help.
Help here, help there.
The kind of help outside
of just mentorships.
The kind of help that builds your tribe.
The kind of help that cultivates a team
of SUPPORT.
Support to achieve the things I desire.
Scary at first,
this process has become
really exciting for me.
I Love the results!
By giving the reins to someone else,
I free my hands to hold more;
to hold something else.
Help/Support, is
a bridge.
It's a vehicle to
getting to the other side.
To moving forward.
To Growth.
In every aspect.
................................
I've long since let go of
New Year's Resolutions.
Psychologically, they're set up
to fail.
For years now,
I had adopted the idea of choosing a word
every year that I wanted to focus on,
and the words tended to shift into
meaning that was my Lesson
to learn that year.
I recently have adopted
something I feel is far more powerful
from a mentor + that is
Defining the Context
from which I seek to
Live By.
With much thought,
I realize the Context I seek
is the same it has been from
the start, and that is
one of living A Cultivated Life.
This embodies the Freedom,
The Abundance,
The Balance,
The Joy.
Every Year I'm curating
what I want in my life
and Cultivating the seeds
to Manifest those Desires
into Reality.
This context determines
every choice I make.
That they align with
that context I CHOOSE
to live by. To live As.
Remember, you don't need a January 1st
to make the changes you seek.
To choose a different direction.
You just need to
DECIDE.
The etymology of decide
means to eliminate
ANY OTHER OUTCOME.
When we're not intentional with our behavior,
Life passes you by.
It's impossible to wind up
Where you want to be,
to Be Who you want to Be,
If you don't start Steering.
I'm Upping My Game,
How About You?
-->> MIND. THE. GAP.
