Have You Connected The Dots Of Your Life?

I have found there have been many times in my life where I am searching for my “path.” 

I would have this feeling like I was supposed to do this "big" thing but found myself just accomplishing lots of "little" things. 

Without fail, every few years all of those seemingly inconsequential completions would fuse together and create this sacred synchronicity moment where everything has fallen into place, and I come to realize that all of those minor accomplishments or completions were all part of an intricately and Divinely orchestrated plan. I could finally exhale.

Everything felt in place. 

How many times have you had that exhale moment? 

It was a moment of exhale because we let go and let God. 

Because there was no way any of those details could have been organized to that level of detail by any one person. It could not have been MANiuplated. 

It was by Divine Order of things. 

This has happened again recently for me.

I’m in the final edits of my book, The Anxiety Connection, with an incredible editor and have come to realize that every class, every talk I’ve given, every client I have helped over the past 10 years has contributed to this spiritual synchronicity moment. 

But I can tell you that there were classes I prepared for when I had 1 person show up, and I had classes where 30 people showed up. I taught that same 1 person attendee class years later and 15 people attended. I had moments where I felt like a failure. I had moments where I felt exhausted and frustrated because I didn’t receive the outcome I “wanted.” 

What I didn't realize is that all of that wisdom was for this particular sacred synchronicity. 

I may not have ventured out to write this book all on its own.

But my class notes and all of my student feedback over the years became this natural base and the book grew from there. 

In one of Steve Jobs' most famous commencement speeches, he tells of these moments as well. He said you can never connect the dots forward in your life, only backwards. You can only see backwards how all of these events fit together to create this masterpiece. You must trust that the dots will connect.  Trust that there is a plan and to continue to listen to your gut. At some point, they will all connect. 

Where in your life are you feeling frustrated or underwhelmed? Can you begin to see how these pieces might be used for a great outcome, your own sacred synchronicity?

It's OK if you don't see it. 

I find the most rewarding moments of synchronicity are when you never saw it coming and then all of sudden, "Boom!"  You have this incredible awareness of how all these pieces fit together and you realize there is a Higher Power so much greater than you intricately planning all your details.

I think that is why we exhale.

We can finally let go of the reins and realize this Higher Power can orchestrate something far more impressive than we ever could. 

Trust the dots. They will connect in a magnificent way that you will never expect. 

Much love,
