I’m in the midst of the hellish process of migrating to a new laptop – thank goddess for my personal tech guru! – and sorting through gigabytes of files, I noticed something.
I have a galactic shit ton (yes, technical term) of educational videos, courses and resources. Most of which I never finished, and many of which I never started. Most of which also no longer hold any interest.
Once upon a time, I was a ravenous information junkie. What happened?
Somewhere along the way, my hunger for intellectual understanding was replaced with a deep reverence for the experience of truth.
I used to proudly call myself a “transformation junkie.” I was always chasing the next breakthrough, convinced I was only one energy clearing away from fixing my brokenness.
Today, I’m still passionate about transformation, but it’s different.
Now, I go deeper not because I think I need fixing, but because it’s so much fun.
I’ve apprenticed with brilliant mentors. I attend transformational programs and swap insights with coach friends (a favorite hobby for transformational nerds.) I’m pretty much always running a life experiment, which I then write about and share in these daily emails.
But something is different now than in my past pursuits of change.
I know that I’m good. Really good.
There’s nothing lacking. No checklist of limiting beliefs to eliminate. My life is more enjoyable than it’s ever been, and transformation has become a joyful exploration rather than desperate self-improvement.
Even if I never paid for another coach, course or book, I’d keep evolving and changing. Humans are built to evolve, and I’ve come too far and seen too much to stop now. The awakening is alive in me.
You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube, as my beloved yoga teacher used to say.
The same is true for you.
Yes, there are things you can do to accelerate your transformation, and things you can do to slow it. But as long as you’re alive, you’re growing and learning, because it’s impossible not to.
What does this mean?
You might as well enjoy yourself as much as you dare.
If you’d like to deepen your enjoyment of life while growing your business and impact, I’d love for you to join us in the IMPACT membership.
It’s a community built by transformation workers, for transformation workers, where insight meets inspired action and joy fuels the journey.
This community kicks ass, if I do say so myself.
