Welcome 2024! What Wants to be Done?

This is the time of year when we imagine new beginnings, new possibilities, new dreams. It’s a technicolor reminder that actually every moment is new.
This “now” has never occurred before. You are new in this moment as well; it is our thoughts about ourselves, our identity and references to the past that cause us to miss this fact most of the time.
We often set goals for the year, decide what we want to accomplish, change, be different. That is the natural urge we have to create, to live, to fully express who we truly are.
We can see that this approach has us referencing the past (what we want to be different) or the future (what we want to accomplish).
How would we approach life without those references? Do we set goals? Do we dream?
It depends. If it is your egoic self, trying to decide what is best for you, others, your organization, the world, trying to control, reduce fear and uncertainty then you know that any goals and dreams will be limited by the belief in a separate, limited, finite self.
Or you can remember who you truly are – OneBeing, Source, Consciousness, Awareness, The Universe, Infinite Intelligence, Universal Wisdom. Even those names reveal that we know there is something that is wise and all-knowing that informs our existence. We can access that knowing rather than our egoic minds.
The egoic mind is limited and doesn’t access the infinite.
How can you access the knowing that you are, the infinite intelligence and universal wisdom and knowing that is you?
Remember who you truly are.
Remember that you are inherently brilliant. You are naturally “in” the flow; life is flowing through you, as you. Creativity abounds in the Universe – and you ARE the Universe.
Ignore your thoughts.
Sink into your heart. (I like to make sure my head is aligned over my heart. Our heads tend to be forward in front of our hearts due to our work on computers and looking at our phones. This creates a “disconnect” from our hearts.)
You can ask:
·????? What wants to come through me?
·????? What wants to be expressed through me?
·????? What wants to be done?
·????? What does Source (I – the unlimited I) want to breathe life into?
Be still, quiet. Be curious. Stay open. Allow the nudges to inform you.

We allow the questions, the curiosity to just be there without needing to know now. We trust.
We trust that right now we ARE doing what wants to be done because we are doing whatever it is that we are doing.
The “what-ifs” may be appearing about now. What if I don’t create goals? What if I don’t know what to do? What if I don’t have what my thinking mind wants me to have?
Those are all thoughts we have been conditioned to pay attention to and to believe we need to address. It can be challenging to depart from our historical pattern.
Yet, to experience the freedom, purpose, happiness, meaning we all long for, this path, this path to “listen” to our essential self, our true self, Source is the way.
Try it for a day. Or a week. Or the rest of your life.
The nudge could actually encourage you to plan or to have a goal related to something. Or not.
How can we know if ideas are nudges from our essential self or are from our egoic mind? ?
If you feel contraction, fear or a need to control that would be your egoic mind.
With a nudge you feel some sense of knowing that this is what there is to do or inspiration – usually very subtle – or a sense of peace.
It might also take some time before something comes to you. Often it will appear when you aren’t trying to “come up with” something. But it will come … when the time is “right”. ?
Enjoy!
If you want to explore living your life and/or leading your organization being the full and free expression of you, I am available to explore the various paths that can be helpful, whether working with me or not.
These are the ways I work:
·????? One-on-one guiding and coaching with a customized program that is unique to you.
·????? For organizations, group programs designed to meet your needs.
·????? With you and others in an ongoing group program that integrates theory and practice – the Wisdomary Leading Praxis.
Please message me or email me at [email protected] and we will schedule a time to talk.
