Life is a mystery, not a secret.
This wisdom came from a peer during a recent yoga teacher training.
Life is constantly giving us clues to help us see what we need to feel successful, fulfilled, and happy.
The clues show us what we need to show up at our best, to create and perform our best work.
Everything in nature emerges in patterns.
Just like the patterns on the leaves on a tree repeat themselves, the patterns in our lives repeat themselves across the spectrum of our experiences.
How You Do Anything Is NOT How You Do Everything
It’s often said that how you show up anywhere is how you show up everywhere.
Or, how you do anything is how you do everything.
These are good sound bites that can have some truth to them, but they not true.
It’s more accurate to say that how you do anything in a given set of conditions is how you do everything in that same set of conditions.
When you show up at your best and exceed your expectations, certain conditions are present.
And when you don’t, different conditions are present.
These are the patterns, and this is where the clues live.
How To Use This
If you’re feeling stuck in one area of life, look to an area where you have flow. Make note of the elements present that contribute to your flow.
If you’re not getting results in one area of life, look to an area where things are going well, and see what factors are at play.
There’s no magic secret to success.
Life is a mystery, and the clues are always there.
Love it? Hate it? What do you think? Don't hold back...
