Throughout life we may hear the cliches and phrases like, life’s a game, life is a puzzle, a riddle, a test, a mystery. However, no matter what challenges you wish to compare it to, at some point in our lives many of us learn that life is very far from being a game. At least not one that we would would want to remain playing each day.
Many of us grow up with specific views in our minds of how life is going to go for us. We wonder where it will take us like it is some magic ride. We have ideas, dreams and goals about what our world will look like when we grow up. Will we have families? Will we work in offices or outdoors? Will we be famous? Most importantly, will we be happy?
At some point we all wonder these things and then our lives start to take shape. Maybe they are exactly how we dreamed they would be or maybe we’re still figuring it out. Whatever the case may be there comes a day that you will have this incredible feeling come over you. Sometimes it’s subtle where you could miss it if you don’t pay attention and other times it could stop you in your tracks. You begin to take a hard look at your reality and know that something is different within you.
Something is changing or emerging. You could be completely happy where you are but it’s a feeling like you’re being pulled towards something different. As if you’re being redirected somehow. It’s like life is trying to give you messages to get you towards your true path.
I believe this happens throughout our lives. I don’t think it’s one specific time. But if you have this feeling, this “aha moment”. I don’t think you will ever forget it. At least that it what it felt like for me. It was a typical weekday several years ago. I was getting my children off to school and myself ready for work. I remember just finishing up brushing my hair when I stopped and looked at my reflection. It was a strange feeling because it almost felt like I was physically stopped in a way. Like something was saying, PAY ATTENTION!
I stared at my reflection for a moment and had an incredible feeling that my life was about to move in an entirely new direction. I didn’t know exactly what or where but I was definitely feeling the shift. That was the day I knew the game was changed for me.......
