Expectations Are Funny Things, Aren’t They?

“Saying, ‘I should be further along my path than I am,’ might be the equivalent of saying: ‘I’m going to make up a goal that is neither attainable nor in Universal timing, then I’m going to use it to sabotage myself from being present to the miraculous unfolding journey I am actually on.’ Just saying.”

Dear You:

Expectations are funny things, aren’t they? Here’s a clue about finding freedom from the attachments and misery they can create: YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MADE THEM UP… NOT INFINITE WISDOM. You see, Infinite Wisdom already has you on your unfolding path.

Your job is not to make up fictitious goals, so that you can beat yourself up about not attaining them. Your job is to catch up to the dance you are already in, and dance it to the best of your abilities, singing and dancing as you go.

It’s not about fate… nope. You have been setting these things in motion before you got here, when you were little, and as you had dreams. You have enough of those to last many lifetimes, so, uh, maybe let’s catch up to the miraculous unfolding life that is already happening as a result…

Love you!

P.S. I just finished correcting myself saying, “as soon as the reason for my existence became clear,” and I changed it to, “as soon as I caught up to the magnificence of my unfolding journey that was already happening.” Very freeing and relieving to realize…

P.P.S. I hope I can help you catch up to your unfolding journey at some point in our dance together… muah!

‘Or betters’ present frequently when we simply remember ourselves as the embodied intention of everything we’ve ever lived in any life. They manifest when we remember our free will to choose, realizing our trajectory is the result of every past life, every desire, and every prayer you have ever prayed.

‘Or betters’ happen when you live like control is overrated. Understanding the resources of the omnipotent and omniscient Creation will deliver for you so far beyond anything your lovely (please don’t hate me) pea brain can intend is key. Your brain only accesses your history, the programs you learnt in school and paradigms you’ve created through the years, and who wants to ‘rinse and repeat’ that again?

Your greater Wisdom is constantly dancing with the trajectory you are on. You’re a living intention, without ever needing to use your brain to intend. Infinite Wisdom is in a dance with you, responding to your every thought and, perhaps ever more, to your actions. It’s responding to your life’s purpose. The thing is, you can’t mentally intend your way to an awesome life.

My two favorite words…

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.
