15 degrees
Talking to one of my dearest friends today, we somehow got on the topic of life - where are we, where are we going. You know the conversation. This woman is a powerhouse. VP of a major financial services company, mother of 4 (she had triplets a year ago), and her fabulous husband has beat cancer - twice. Knowing her since I was 10, you can imagine the mileage our friendship has covered.
Sharing about our recent successes, our questions about life, and dancing in the possibility of our respective futures, I had an ah-ha moment. When considering “what’s next for me” it isn’t about turning life upside down. It’s about making intentional 15 degree shifts. Do that enough times, degree by degree, and boy is the view of life different!
The great news is that these shifts can be in alignment with your current life…. the career, the kids, the commitments. True success is loving all you got AND adding more (or subtracting) until that divine balance comes into being. In doing so we create a way to be who we are now, along with contributing to the world in a new powerful way. A new ‘me’ arises, grounded in the old.
What 15 degree shifts can you make this year? Which direction will they take you? And what will you accomplish from charting a slightly different course?
