My life has changed for the better! I have never been more content or felt more aligned than I do right now. It almost seems as though this happened over night! I even find myself asking, “could it be this easy?”. Then I realize that when I hold this perspective, it diminishes all of the intentional choices I have made to create the life of my dreams.
Mind you, for the most part, my life has always been wonderful. Great family, friends, work, home, health and husband. Yet, it always seemed as though I could not get them in balance with each other. If my work life was going great, my friendships suffered. If my health was my focus, my career was lacking… etc. I made up this story in my mind that I “couldn’t do it all”. I was resigned to the idea that it was impossible to find balance… Because something had to be on the back-burner.
I get how “it is too hard to have it all” was one of my stories. It was one of the things that I would think or say to keep me playing safe or even harder to say, playing small. It was a way to “tread water”. I also recognize that I was looking for the evidence of my happiness or success, from the people, places and things that surrounded me.
What has shifted recently is that I am no longer looking outside of myself, for validation of the beauty of my life. I am where I am suppose to be and I am the one who designed this amazing existence. I use to think things such as, “right place, right time” or “boy I sure am lucky”! Not anymore. I am confident that I create my own experiences and that the choices I make and the actions I take are reflected all around me! When I know and remember this… Changes come easily! Woohoo!
