What I am learning …

We have just moved house.  I love our new home and it is a home that our wonderful team have been restoring for nearly two years.  Much of the house was derelict and thus inorder for us to get to where we are now, the house had to be taken back to it’s foundations, the foundations themselves built up, and all this before anything could be done on the inside.  

And I am learning to be very patient, and trust that we will get there.  I am learning that the little details of this wonderful project WILL happen, but just not necessarily in my own timing.  And because the building is far from instant, there have been some advantages along the way.  We have re thought aspects of it.  We have changed direction on some ideas.  And we have improved upon initial ideas too.

I am telling you this because on reflection of the house project, I am also seeing very valuable and pertinent lessons for myself.  Do you have a dream, a desire, a hope that have worked on, and to see your plans come to fruition at a later stage? Have you visualised an outcome and found that in fact it has happened as you had hoped?  Have there been times when you just know that you need to do something, or achieve something, or get something and you have!  

I am learning to trust that things are happening even when I cannot see it.  There is progress.  Life is not at a stand still.  Every decision and action that you take, or not take,  does have a ripple effect.  And I think that there is an enormous amount of reassurance in knowing that beyond the making the consistent effort, the dedicated and careful work, and the ambitions – a plan is coming into fruition.

My hope that this year good things come your way.  That you gain traction in what you want to be doing and find a deep satisfaction on projects and plan that you are investing your very precious time in. 

May this be a wonderful  New Year for you.  Happy 2024.

Some questions to reflect upon:

What is something that you really care about?  What matters to you at the moment?

What would you love to be spending more time doing?

What do you not want to be wasting your precious time on?

When do you feel very accomplished and happy? What have you been doing?  

What could you be doing more of that gets you into your flow?

What is really important to you?

What tiny and consistent action can you start taking right now inorder to be working towards that bigger dream?
