Moving along
As busy as life is, I am experiencing progress — something that completely surprises me. Well, in some ways it does.
I had an epiphany the other evening, and it really brought some things to light about progress, or lack thereof, in my life.
Many, many times…as I toiled over my projects, leaving the rest of my life neglected, I would feel like I was making progress, and yet, nothing seemed to come of all that I was doing. It was my illusion that all that work was actually building something, or was it my illusion that nothing was actually being done, just because I didn’t see an outcome in the way my mind wanted?
My progress became real to me when I backtracked a series of action steps, to discover the order and the reason for movement. It was three things, in a particular sequence, that led to results.
- I had taken the time to give my self some much needed self-love and self-care.
- Then, I had purposefully worked on my spirit-led ‘service’ work, and saw a piece of it completed and sent off.
- And then, I took action steps on my income-generation initiatives that have finally — after 6 years of ‘doings’ — started to move forward.
Now that I consciously am aware of what I need to do, and in what order, I am seeing things shift quite rapidly. Of course, taking all the other steps within those steps is extremely important.
As I enter into yet another sequence of events on my journey, I feel progress. And it feels really, really good. :)
