Wow! What a ride this week has been! Have you felt it? I think it’s all of us being intentional about the life we want to live that is just lifting the spirits all around!
I know the week was hard, I asked you to look at hard things in your life but now comes the part where you get to use all that information and start moving forward in this journey!
Today we are going to “Create your RoadMap“ with the “You Are Here“ arrow! Remember when you go to a park or a shopping mall and there’s always an informative plan of the local with a “You Are Here“ spot or arrow? That’s there so that you can see where you are and then take the path to where you want to go next!
Today we are creating exactly that. The “You Are Here“ spot in your own RoadMap is the place where you will deposit all your values, beliefs and non negotiables in your life. It’s the place you’ll come back again and again each time you take a path and suddenly you don’t feel aligned anymore with where you are going. You can always come back to the “You Are Here“ spot and take another path.
Maybe you know where you want to go, maybe you don’t and that’s ok, at least you know this is not where you want to stay and that’s huge! If you know where you want to go great, start working backwards to know what steps you need or can take today to get there. It doesn’t matter that you can do a tiny little thing today, what matters is that you are being intentional and starting!
Look, ideas are going to work, others are not, you will get things right the first time and others on your third or fourth time. It’s called life! S*** happens and we just get back to the basics and remember why we are doing this in the first place. Why we want to live your life on purpose and with purpose.
So what does this living on and with purpose mean? Well, it means that you are going to refer to your values, beliefs and non negotiables to create your map and each time it doesn’t feel right, just go back and remind yourself what is really important to you.
Don’t compromise! I mean, sure, life is made of compromises but don’t do it where your values and beliefs are concerned! You will regret it. That’s probably why you are not happy right now with the life you are living anyway!
Again, go deep and ask yourself what those values, beliefs and non negotiables are for you. Let’s face it, if you are someone with a drive to do humanitarian work and helping war victims, working in a company where you are working 80 hours a week and there’s artillery involved is probably not aligned with who you are and definitely not the way you want to go moving forward!
Now, get to work and remember, You Got This!
