If you don’t make time for your guidance to come through, you’ll always be left wondering WTF to do. #unintentionalrhyme
Action just for the sake of getting shit done is not productive. It will leave you feeling resentful and annoyed. It will not produce your best work.
And it will certaintly not get you the results that you’re hoping for.
What you want to aim for, and what will actually get you results and leave you feeling satisfied and grateful and HAPPY, is to take aligned action.
Not action. ALIGNED action. Which basically just means action that feels good to you.
Most of the actions you’re taking daily do not fill you with a sense of joy. They’re an obligation. A task to check off your to-do list that you prepared the night before.
And these actions may get you results. You may make money for taking these actions. You may lose weight. You may find your soulmate. You may manifest a physical item you’ve been dreaming of.
But those results will not be long-lasting and when you DO receive them, you won’t be as excited about the receiving of them as you thought you’d be.
Resentment will set in and you’ll kinda sorta wish you didn’t have them at all because of what you had to DO to get them.
Aligned action, on the other hand, is the action that you are GUIDED to take. Not by someone outside of you, but by the guides you have inside your soul.
It’s when you make the time to get quiet, go within, ask for the guidance you require and then wait for the answer. THAT answer is the aligned next step for you to take.
And I know –
This sounds totally “woo woo” and even just a year ago I’d probably be rolling my eyes at this advice right now, but I’ve learned an important lesson over the past 12+ months:
YOU have all of the answers. What you seek knowledge of is already inside of you, and all you need to do to access that knowledge, is to go within and ask for it.
MEDI-FUCKING-TATE, is what I’m saying.
You don’t have to do it for hours. Even just a few minutes is enough in most cases (my meditations last anywhere from 2-10 minutes most days).
The point is to take the time to get quiet and listen.
I’m not saying you can (or should) do everything on your own. There is absolutely a place for mentors, coaches, strategists, and counsellors.
They are not there to tell you what to do.
They are not there to give you a plan to follow.
They are not there to provide you with the answers to all of your problems.
They are there to be your support. They are there to encourage and motivate you. They are there to inspire you. They are there to remind you of who you are and how to become more YOU.
But the action?
The things that you do each day, every moment? That guidance comes from within yourself.
The ALIGNED action you take is based on how good you feel when you think about doing it (and how good it continues to feel as you DO it).
The aligned action is the only action that matters.
Every DAY you show up, you set your intentions, you go within for the answers you seek, and you ACT.
You commit to your cause.
You do the freakin’ work, yes, but it hardly feels like WORK, it feels like joy and fun and bliss and “OMG how is this my life?!”.
That happens when you follow flow. When you lead and act and create from alignment.
And when you know and trust and BELIEVE that you really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want.
And then you show up every day and you OWN IT.
