“What choice is going to make me to feel more at peace?”
This is a question I have asked myself several times this week as I had to navigate a few prickly and challenging choices.
In the past, I would have worried more and leaned towards drivers that are more external: perception, acknowledgement, recognition and work.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying these aren’t important at all.
I am saying that, there is a point in life, when you come to terms with the true meaning of having limited time on this earth, this lifetime - a time that you can’t regain - that invites us to rethink the way we make decisions and set priorities.
I just made a choice that, objectively, didn’t make any rational sense to my business or potential financial gains. But after a few sleepless nights, I recognised that my heart desire wanted to be prioritised: cancelling days of work, aka earnings (during one of the busiest seasons) so I can be in full presence with a loved one.
A kinda of “gut-feeling” meets “heart-desire” queue that is hard to miss.
I started pondering on how I want to reflect on my life when I look back.
And I want, overall, to feel my heart filled, carrying the joy and love from those who have made the journey a gift to go through. And yes, we still need money to have a roof over our heads and food on the table, but I wonder - do we keep prioritising work, money and other impermanent items too much, too often - that come and go over time - without taking into account engaging with moments that we can’t replicate?
A bit of a babbled share, but nevertheless, where you find me today. Wrapping up here, packing my bags and taking off to be in presence. What a gift (and a privilege) to have that choice. And not using it feels like a dishonouring service to the fact that it is, indeed, a true gift to embrace.
See ya on the other side, wonderful peeps.
