When things align be prepared to be in action. Can we just share what that means to us? For years Carolyn and I have felt stuck in our pre-arranged life and now we make our own arrangements. Meaning, we decided to follow our own dreams and desires and not those of others. We understand as parents that we want our kids to have what we never had in our own lives. But do we really want to impose our dreams onto our kids? No, they have dreams of their own and our job is hold that space for them.
So, what does alignment mean in this sense? When we align ourselves with things that make us happy everyday we are so there. Let me just share. We took an assessment of our lives not too long ago and come to find out we were so out of alignment. Think of it like this. Image you're driving and your car is constantly pulling to the left or to the right. Obviously, you're not in control here. That poses as a problem when we are trying to get from point A to point B. So, we take our car to the shop and ask for an Alignment. Now, driving becomes easier because we are steering in the direction that we want to go.
Now, think of you and where you want to go in your life. Simply posed, what aligns with you? Are you doing what feels good to you? Is it effortless or are you fighting like hell to be happy?
In a nutshell, Carolyn's mom wanted to be a nurse, and so did Carolyn until she didn't. It's not that Carolyn was opposed to helping others she just found a way to do it on her own terms. Coaching and mentoring was more in alignment to her style of supporting others.
When everything in your soul is in alignment for what you desire to do it becomes effortless because you are happy to do it. It really is that simple. We are doing just that today. I'm not saying its easy to run a business, but it makes it so much more easier to get up everyday to do what you love.
Take control of where you want to go and have fun doing so is all I'm saying here. So make that adjustment and get to it.
