finding clarity and purpose, uncovering why you do what you do, defining your trajectory, enjoying the journey, feeling your future results today and knowing that they are coming to you, being able to discern between what others want for you and what you really want for yourself, what your soul is asking you to do, tuning in to your intuition, guidance from angels, guides, or Spirit

Working too hard for an abstract idea, not knowing when you have reached your goal, missing the joy of today, feeling lost or confused, not feeling fulfilled, being unsure of where you are headed, an opportunity to realign your life Journey with your soul purpose

What do you really want? Really. Beyond the parameters of what’s possible and what’s likely, and beyond any constraints of time and money, what do you want? Regardless of your current situation, and regardless of what you wanted yesterday, what’s that big, sacred dream that stares back at you when you allow yourself to indulge in magical thinking? If it seems like the dream is too far away to accurately conjure up in your mind’s eye, then you’ve got some work to do. This journey—your spiritual and creative trajectory toward your what, with your why in tow—is your life! It’s time to ensure that you are enjoying it, and that all your efforts along the way are working together to build that ideal reality that you have chosen. Be mindful that you are not toiling away at a tiny, superficial, or “safe” version that could never bring your soul the joy it desires. Be mindful of spending energy building something that will never be enough. Instead, define what success means to you, and knowhow you’ll feel when you’ve reached your goal. What do you truly desire? Only by clearly defining it, can you finally see the path that will take you there.

• How does the success in your life help others, and what does that look like?
• What exactly does success look like to you? Abundance? Prosperity? Joy? And how does it feel?
• Clearly defining your goal as a feeling or as an experience will help you to understand what you are working so hard for. Name what you want. Breathe it in. Feel its presence. Write it down. How will you know when you’ve reached your goal?
