a few contemplations of mine

I have tons of thoughts that flow through my mind during the day, but there are a few that I think about often and am constantly looking for “answers.”

I will eventually start writing and talking about what I think the answers MIGHT be, but for now, I just want to share these questions with a little insight into each.

Can we navigate our hero’s journey without a scary, dramatic, and traumatic “bottom”? So many of the stories I read about and listen to include the individual going through some dark times, only to emerge with a better understanding of their Self and more clarity about the life they are supposed to live. I understand why this happens when someone loses everything, but is it possible to have the death/grand trial phase not be traumatic? I’ve made multiple trips through the hero’s journey and my bottom phases. While not without disappointment, sadness, and obstacles, I’ve managed to navigate through it without battling depression, contemplating suicide, or losing it all.

Does the Universe speak louder when we don’t hear it? I’ve read and believe the Universe often shares messages and clues to help guide us along our Pursuit. I wonder if the Universe gets “louder” when we miss its messages, and by louder, I mean its messages get more severe. Eventually, if we continue to miss or ignore the message, the Universe brings an earth-shattering event to finally get our attention. I wonder if we hear the messages, acknowledge them, and move in the direction of the guidance if that satisfies the Universe.

Does our speed of transition matter to the Universe? Or does it care more about direction? Building upon the previous question, does the Universe care how fast we move or cares more about the direction we are moving?

Does the Universe even operate on a scale of time? When thinking about the speed of our movement, does the Universe operate on the same time continuum as us? This could lead to the Universe’s focus being on direction and not speed/time.

I am looking forward to continuing to contemplate, explore, and look for the answers to these questions–it might not make sense now, but the answers to these questions will show up in the work I am doing with LifeDesign+ and the content I create to help more people find and live their authentic life.

See you tomorrow (or later today) and keep pursuing,
