The Spinning Top
There is nothing you can do about your past, and there is also nothing you can do about your future. In this concept, I’m referring to the trials and tribulations we have to go through in life to get us to where we need to be. Every day, we make choices and decisions while hoping for the best.
Sometimes, we are very sure of our choices; other times, we trust the process and choose in Faith.
We’ve all pictured a certain future for ourselves. We imagined the life and lifestyle we would be living in the future. Much of it was based on what we saw in real life, maybe neighbors or a friend’s home. And much is based on what we perceive to be a happy and generous life, maybe from movies and stories others tell.
Sometimes, we see someone else’s life and assume it is perfect and wish for something just like that. That could be the seemingly happy couple, the rich person driving the nice car, or living in the lovely home. We then see those less fortunate than us and, at times, still feel bad for ourselves because we see how close we are to it.
We realize that we are not that far off from being on either side of this paradigm. And it’s scary. We start twirling around like a top at full speed, yet not moving from the same spot where it landed until it loses momentum and topples over, waiting for someone to pick it up, whine the rope around it, and send it back into orbit to fall once more on one spot and repeat the process.
This looking over both sides of the fence sometimes creates a paralysis like no other. You know what it takes to move up, do the hard work, make the money, and live the lifestyle, and you also know that that is not what life is all about. At the same time, you understand what the other side of the other fence looks like and may even feel like, and you know you don’t want to be there.
Finding balance can be challenging when you are being bombarded with videos, podcasts, and commercials all telling you what to do, when to do it, and when it should be done. And you sit there thinking that you are the only person in this entire world who feels so disoriented. But I’m here to tell you that you are not alone.
I look back at my life and know I’ve always been guided toward greatness—we all are. In our youth, we are more free and less inhibited. Our responsibilities are not so dire and demanding. Then, we accumulate life—relationships, possessions, children, marriages, divorces, death, and so much more—and every day, we wonder, what now? What’s next?
Please don’t let those be your questions. Your questions should be, what would you like me to do today to fill MY heart with joy?
It doesn’t always have to be what you do for others to feel fulfilled, but how brave and daring are you to be kind and generous to yourself? How brave are you? Can you spend the whole week just focused on you, your needs, your desires? Whatever they are. There are no rules that say you should be doing something every day. You do you! Sleep in. Read the book. Watch TV. Indulge in a meal you haven’t eaten in a while.
If your attention is always focused on what you “should” be doing for others, be aware that this thought creates an emotional imbalance in your body. You wake up stressed, and you go to sleep disappointed, only because the outside world says that you are not allowed to think and focus on yourself first. We constantly hear about putting on your oxygen mask first, but do you really dare to do that? Are you brave enough to take care of yourself without excuses or justifications?
Your daily question should instead be: what am I inspired to do right now?
I have lived my entire life guided by my Guardian Angel. I truly know no other way of living. Trying to fit in with the coaches, mentors, and programs in which I’ve invested time, money, and resources hasn’t taken me where I should be. It only distracted me from my Soul’s mission.
Take a hard look at your life and see what you were truly destined to do here. Your Soul’s mission was decided before your birth. Find out what that is and find the inner peace you may be missing. This voyage to your inner self has all the answers you need. Shut out the outside world.
Take the time to heal from within, and make sure that those around you truly support your choices and decisions for self-love and self-healing and do not let you feel like you are wasting time, resources, or whatever they believe you should be doing.
They don’t know.
They don’t know you.
They don’t know your Soul’s mission.
And you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone.
As I look back at my life’s journey, I realize that I’ve done much, accomplished much, taken many chances and risks, said many yeses when I should have said no, and said many no’s when I should have said yes.
And now I’m being approached by others asking the same questions. They are burned out, confused, disappointed, lost. They know what they are seeking without really knowing, without clarity. They are waiting for a sign. Some have already told me that I’m that sign. If this is where this path is taking me, then I’m ready to produce the biggest and most important production I’ve ever created thus far in my life. I’ll later elaborate on what this production will be, and it has to do with “Reverse Engineering Your Lifestyle.”
Since you can’t predict your future, you can’t, in the present moment, blame or resent any of those choices from the past because, at that moment, you were hoping that that particular choice would take your life in a specific direction. At the end of the day, your Soul will always step in and redirect you to where you are supposed to be.
When you look back at your past choices, decisions, and regrets, remember that they were all good choices. They were the choices required to help you learn, grow, transform, and impact others, small or big.
Impact is impact, even if it’s one person. But you know you’ve impacted many. Think about raising children, helping friends, caring for parents, smiling at strangers, picking up trash. Everything is a contribution to the collective well-being of this planet. It is all part of your legacy. So here is to your legacy.
