Hello,
And thank you for joining me for part three in intentional living for the awakened leader.
Part one supported you in feeling aligned with your mission and your purpose.
Part two covered how to start directing your life and to embody leadership.
Now in part three,
I'll share how to refocus your time and energy so you can experience more joy and meaning in your life to really create a deeper connection and reclaim your divine sovereignty.
You know what,
You have the power to stand in your own authority.
And if you truly want a life of meaning and deep satisfaction,
Then it's important to check in every now and then and ask yourself,
Am I happy?
So just take a moment,
Close your eyes if you need to,
And ask,
Ask yourself,
Am I happy?
And if you are fantastic,
Start to give gratitude,
Thanks for all of the things that are present in your life right now that are making you happy,
That are giving rise to joy,
That light you up and make you feel alive.
You can even say thank you,
Bring me more.
That appreciation really ups your vibe to attract more of the things that truly make you happy.
But if you checked in,
And when you asked,
Am I happy?
And the answer was no,
Or you couldn't even bring yourself to answer,
Perhaps emotions swelled up within you.
Allow that,
Allow that to flow so you can unlock the barriers and the obstacles that are keeping you from truly experiencing deep life satisfaction.
Have a look at what might be present in your life right now that might be dragging you down.
And accept that this is where you're at right now,
And it is okay.
You acknowledge this,
And you move through this.
You bring light into the situation and that too will help elevate you and begin to move towards what would make you happy.
See as a speaker,
An author,
A thought leader,
A visionary or creative,
You're here to bring in a new paradigm,
A new way of thinking and innovating those new ideas.
And it can be really hard to do that when you're not feeling inspired.
So it's important also to look at what inspires you.
What makes you build up momentum on a thought that you have?
How can you experience more beauty in your life and bring more of that into your life to inspire you,
To enliven you,
And to reawaken that wonder and joy of life in wanting to live even more deeply,
Being fully present with what's available to you in the here and now.
You see,
An awakened leader becomes reoriented and knows to push less and trust more.
And when you can be fully present with what inspires you,
What makes you happy,
When you feel joy and know what lights you up,
Then you can be an inspirational role model to guide others or teach and transform new ways of being and living in the world.
Feel confident sharing your talents with the world.
You know,
I hear a lot of people that are getting ready to get ready to get ready to put something out there,
Or they have imposter syndrome where they don't think that they live up to the values and the inspiration that others are bringing into the world,
That maybe you're just not quite good enough or quite capable.
All you need to be capable of doing is taking that next safe step forward in your life,
Being able to express from what's within you.
Because no one else can do that except you.
And we need you to be able to pass on your expertise,
Your inspirations,
Your soul's expression of who you are,
Who you came here to be,
And what you came here to do.
To step more fully into that,
To really embody leadership,
And I'm talking about being able to direct and lead your own life in the best possible way that comes from passion and not obligation,
Then you need to transmute some old way of beings so that you can evolve into who you're becoming.
For myself as a bridge to new beginnings,
I try to inspire people to dream a new dream.
It's something I've had to learn to do over and over and over again,
When things didn't quite turn out the way I had planned.
I was in a marriage in this beautiful home with these really adorable golden retrievers,
Gorgeous garden and not far off Lake Huron.
And it was so beautiful.
I felt so connected with who I thought was my soulmate.
And then it wasn't long after we married that everything started to fall apart.
It was as if it was all an illusion.
And the person I thought he was,
He wasn't.
And I became a person that I didn't even recognize within myself that became so drained and hostile and in a place I couldn't even recognize being in,
In my life because it wasn't part of my dream.
And when I decided to leave,
I drove out to the side of the road and got to the stop sign,
Not knowing which way to turn.
I just knew that at that moment in the way things were,
It wasn't how it was meant to be living my life.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't what I signed up for either.
And so once we make that decision,
Though,
We don't always have to know the outcome or exactly where we're going.
We just know that we're on our way.
And we trust in the process of life to take us to where we need to be doing what we need to be doing.
In fact,
That's what I put out to the universe,
To my higher power.
Find me where I need to be doing what I need to be doing.
And I trusted in that.
I didn't push to try to fix something that was broken.
I didn't push to try to make something work that wasn't.
Oh,
Sure.
I tried.
I tried and I shared some compassion and some love and it wasn't enough.
And it wasn't true to who I was and what I valued and what I needed.
And so sometimes we have to make those tough decisions to get out of what's no longer supporting us so that we can create space for what is life affirming for us to enter.
See,
Life is so full of many,
Many different possibilities.
You don't have to feel stuck or stagnant or limit yourself in any way that brings you down or makes you less than ever.
You can open yourself up to what else is possible.
So with that small piece of you that's left that light,
You can ignite that and create that passion,
Create the drive and listen to the call of where you're being led by soul.
Allow it to inspire you to move you and accelerate that passion.
If you remember from the first couple of parts where I shared passion was pass I on that I being your soul's expression,
A truth of your being that you are passing on in this lifetime,
It means freeing your spirit to direct the life that you are meant to live.
Don't allow yourself to die with something that is yet to be born within you.
Start to engage in things where you feel alive again.
What brings you joy?
What lights you up?
And look at the wonder of life and examine what else is possible.
To refocus now on your energy.
To refocus on experiencing more joy and meaning in your life and creating deeper connection with your loved ones,
With your higher power,
With yourself.
Helping to restore and regenerate your energy so you can direct it to the things that bring more energy,
More life,
More happiness.
Wouldn't you like that?
Thank you so much for listening in the series.
This is the final segment and I would love to know your thoughts and hear your comments about what lights you up,
What drives you,
What inspires you.
Let's share that and create more joy.
