Do what you must....

As things speed up and opportunities come quickly, be sure to take care of all the things that must get done.  Tasks, bills, to-dos, follow-up phone calls - it's all necessary for building the environment and structure around you that you need to build.  As simple or as complex as these tasks may be, they are all of equal importance.  They are all cogs in the machine that is your accelerating - and ascending - journey in life.  Be sure it is in tip-top shape so that it can carry you forward in this rapidly changing world.

The things you must do may seem optional or like they are just thorns in your side but they are all important building blocks that together, build the solid foundation you need to grow and prepare for what is next. Make a list, put it in your phone or on pretty paper and feel good each time you cross one item off.  They are each as relevant as the breath you took a moment ago and the one you will take next.  You don't count the little things you must do as the big accomplishments you make but together, they build to those exact accomplishments.  And there is so much you must - and will - accomplish.

So do what you must do.  Call who you must call.  Write what what you must write.  Read what you must read. Repair what needs fixing.  Organize what is a mess.  Clean what is dirty and unearth those things that need your focus and the light of day.

This is your journey.  Your chosen path.  Only you can walk it so do what you must to put things in their place and clear the way - and the rest will come.

How ready is your path?  

Moving at the Speed of Life...

Everything is changing.  Everything is moving quickly.  Everything is lining up, turning around, and light is being shone in dark corners.  Our purpose, our challenges, our to-dos are becoming clearer and more central in our daily lives.  We can't ignore things anymore.  We can't pretend things away.  We can't stick our heads in the sand.  We must - and we will - start to create great shifts in our own lives and in the world around us.

The journey has already begun.  You're on the bridge.

Be open.  Whatever shows up is showing up for you.  Yes, things are moving quickly and that's because we are all changing so quickly.  The world is changing at a very rapid pace and while we need to be careful to take care of ourselves and stay grounded, we must also be aware of the shifting, changing nature of life so we can allow ourselves to move into the correct flow of life - and onward to the other end of the bridge.

The speed of life is hastening.  You don't try to fight it because the battle will be too consuming.  Be open to it and to what it is calling you to do.  You have an important job to do.  You have an important job that the world needs you to do.

If ever there was an important time to be busy during the times in which you are meant to be busy, now is that time.  This does, of course, mean that it is more important than ever to slow down when you are supposed to rest.  The increasing speed of life will call you to become grounded and honor your body.  After all, it is this one precious body of yours - and mine - that will carry us stealthily through the shifting changes happening in the world and on to the new world we are creating - on in which peace and love carry us all through.
