There was once a time where I said, "YES!" to just about everything. Whatever was new and crossing my path, I believe it had great direct purpose and would pounce. It could have been a new friend, job, relationship, etc. I was on a "YES" auto-pilot for years. Sometimes, a thirst like that would invite in experiences, adventures, and events that would often lead to the next chapter. I regret nothing. However, putting aside my disbelief in the concept of regret, I still look back and see how running at the speed of MACH-Jesus actually held me back. I often tripped, stumbled, made a poor choice, or at times even got myself in tricky situations. Like a wild feline, I always landed on my feet and often think I might just actually have 9 lives.
Today, the race is different; There isn't one. I am not sprinting to get ahead of myself, another, or to prove anything to the world. My favorite button that has developed inside my soul is the PAUSE button. (I have wrote a couple blogs about it recently.) People and opportunities cross my path and instead of shouting "YES," I pause. I take in the information not just mentally, but subconsciously. I allow myself to tune-in to the energy presented in front of me and take an emotional inventory of what is coursing through my body at that time. Yesterday I came across an opportunity to bring ZEN PARTY into another facility. I declined. The energy was not in alignment with my way of being. Without harsh judgement, I simply just knew it would not be a good fit. This is not the first time I have waved off something brought into my life, nor would it be the last.
Perhaps it all goes back to the simplicity of "quality, not quantity." This is YOUR life. When you attend an interview, light up your Solar Plexus and remember that you are interviewing them right back.
