I have amazing clients. One of them is "in transition," having left a job at the end of February and figuring out what's next. She sent me this epiphany while journaling about her situation:
Who would sign up for the following trip?
- Destination: Not disclosed
- How long? Undetermined
- Cost? We’ll find out as we go
- Guaranteed:
- Ups and downs, fun and scary
- Meet great characters along the way
- Learn a lot about yourself
- Fascinating sights
- A great adventure
The people who sign up for this trip are brave, courageous, spirited, creative and sure that life will always steer them straight. These people have great inner guidance systems so that they never get lost (or not for long anyhow). These are folks willing to jump in with both feet and relish the adventure of it all. Each day is filled with amazing experiences and tales to be told.
This IS the trip I’ve signed up for! Not only that, I’ve been specifically chosen to be on this trip, a trip not everyone gets to go on. It’s the greatest “self-help” and consciousness building course ever designed
God is funding this trip, planning the itinerary and guiding me toward the destination. All I have to do is stay engaged and enjoy the ride! Perfect!
This is the difference between creating something wonderful and accepting whatever drops in your lap.
What's your perspective about the place you are in right now? And if you don't like that perspective, what's the new perspective that you want to take for an hour, a day, or even a week?
