Day 169: Clarity Before Momentum

What are you really asking life for?

What do you desire?

Who do you want to become as your life unfolds?

If we aren't clear on what our answers are to those questions, what kind of results are we expecting?

The easiest way to look and see if we are sending out a clear intention and a vibration that matches our desires, is to look at our lives.

If the life we are living is a match for what we say we are asking for, and we are becoming the person we want to be, then wonderful. We are in alignment, body, mind, and soul.

And yes there have been times in my life, a few, where I could honestly say yes.

Being in 100% alignment and things moving at the speed of light is the goal. I get it.

But the reality of life is more a matter of how far off base are we from what we say we want and how we are really creating our lives.

I became aware of this when I was thinking about it this morning and realized that when I'm unsure or unclear, I slow things down.

Slowing down the speed of what I'm co-creating gives me the space to see if I've stopped listening to my higher voice and I'm just busy going about creating on my own, without the guidance of my co-creator.

I slow it down because I've learned from experience that when we go off on our own things don't turn out as well as when we listen to where we're being led.

Yesterday, for example, I mentioned a lesson from Change One Thing, Change Your Life, and it wasn't until a few hours later it dawned on me that I didn't even link to the program if someone wanted to see what it was all about.

And I wondered if I was being absent-minded or was I not fully promoting the 25th Anniversary Edition because not everything on my new website is completely finished and perfect.

There is definitely some misalignment there.

The real question isn't whether we're fully aligned. It's how far out of alignment we are.

That's the most important part, because we will spend most of our lives moving from being a little to a lot out of alignment.

It's not something to beat ourselves up about. Just something to be aware of, so we can narrow the gap.

I'm also slow walking finishing the motorhome.

A part of me knows I'm not ready to move at full speed because I haven't fully decided what I want.

I believe that this ongoing issue of the loose sand is a signal that I'm not clear about how I want this all to look when it's done, so I unconsciously created a situation that gives me more time to get clear.

I know that on the outside it appears this was someone else's doing. But is it?

I saw the sand going in. I questioned the ability to compact it. But when Juan told me it would be fine, I dropped it.

A part of me knew it didn't make sense, but I dismissed that thought instead of listening to it. And here we are.

It gave me more time to think about some of my initial choices, and I've already changed my mind on a few things since I've spent more time here in its new spot.

Things are not only how they appear on the surface, separate from us. They are interconnected.

If we take credit for co-creating some things, we have to take responsibility for all of it.

So I am recognizing my part in exercising discernment to give myself more time to see exactly what I'm asking life to deliver.

Delays aren't always obstacles.

Sometimes they're invitations to get clearer.

Consider that the goal isn't to move faster.

The goal is to become clear enough that moving forward feels natural.

Today's Gentle Practice

Notice today if there is an area of your life where you keep trying to push for more momentum.

A project.

A relationship.

A decision.

A dream you're trying to bring to life.

Then gently ask yourself:

"Am I lacking momentum, or am I lacking clarity?"

Sit with the answer.

Sometimes we don't need to push harder.

Sometimes we need to become clearer about what we truly want, what matters most, and what we're being called toward.

Clarity has a way of creating its own momentum.

With you,
