I just couldn't be bothered this morning

There is a lot going on right now in my life and to be honest the last thing I felt like doing was the weekly newsletter - yes that newsletter which in some crazy moment I decided to make it weekly!
It won't matter if I miss a week, I told myself this morning.
And then a friend rang up and said where's your weekly. They have never responded to any of my weekly newsletters in the past 3 years - no likes, comments not even a mention over a beer. Yet every week they read it - to them it makes a difference.
There is a lot going on in my life at present. 95% of it is good. 5% not so good (yes I've acknowledged the not so good stuff - and that's where your staying...in the naughty corner...I'll deal with you later)
I'm excited, like a kid again. So much spiritually is happening....I know...What the..... did this 6ft 115kg 50+ years old human just start talking spiritually. No not smelly candles. A completely different perspective to business, growth and life - which I will share more with you in a few weeks. It has basically transformed (brought to life) on a scale I could never imagine my purpose.
And I couldn't be bothered with the newsletter this week - it was a distraction. But maybe because I'm trying to force great content, instead of well...just letting it happen. And I remembered why I decided to do the newsletter in the first place. It's a place to share my ideas, to put it out there. And if it connects with someone...awesome. If not at the very least it's an opportunity to gather my thoughts.
For the first time I'm typing this live, no spell check, or grammar check..no real idea what the CTA is.
I'm focusing deeply on my journey, the future journey and what it means for me, my self. It's very difficult to separate my passion in life between work and private....they intertwine..it's part of me.....but what I have learnt/refocused/established/implemented in the past few weeks is the following
My journey is not about pleasing others
领英推荐
My journey is not about doing things I dislike
My journey is not about forcing myself to do something I don't want to
My journey is not about being hard on myself
My journey is not lived on social media, it's real.
My journey is about being my best self and that means a complete alignment of my internal self and external self.
When you start living the best version of you, you will fly into the unknown not run away.
I'm ready to fly.
So what is that call to action for you. Quite simply: Is my future journey about me or what others want for me.
