Rock Your World…

Think about it. If everything works out according to our plans, we don’t get to grow.
Dear friends—I wish for you a wonderful, peaceful, fulfilling life. And, I invite you to allow something in that would rock your world. Or at least contemplate what that might be and see what that brings up for you. What if you lost your job, won the lottery, got offered some amazing opportunity, learned you had three months to live? Imagine some wake up call.

Take yourself away from your daily routine for a self-coaching coffee date. Ask yourself “What do I really want?” in a way you have not asked for a long while. Stare out the window and let that roll around.

Challenge some of your answers with “Why?” or “What’s so important about that?… What matters more?” There’s a richer place underneath all the wants. Let go of all of that and deeply ask, “Who am I meant to be?”

After a while, follow up with, “So then, what is mine to do?”

Notice the temptations of train tracks in your work and life. What are some ways to reclaim your grounded, charting-your-own-course self and higher guidance? Don’t just read this. Do it. You deserve that much self-love and self-respect. You will sleep better and, yes, wake up inspired.

I’d love to hear your comments and/or your experience of delving into these questions.
Be well… be inspired,
Marian
