Alignment

One thing I know for sure is that Alignment trumps all. While scrolling facebook one day I came across a post about how a social media influencer, who wildly successful and profitable mastermind retreats in Bali, had CANCELED her next mastermind and all future masterminds. Her reason, she didn't align with the content she was coaching anymore...The coach who canceled the mastermind, profited $1M annually from these masterminds!!

Initially, my mind I was thinking "How dumb can she be", "Saying No to 1 million a year", "Is she high" But it got me thinking.....

If I was to be completely honest with myself... WHAT WAS I DOING IN MY LIFE WHICH I WASN'T ALIGNED WITH?? There a was A LOT!!

Out with the Old, In with the New

I went on a life cleaning rampage!! Everything that I didn't align with or anything in my life which didn't sit right with me I discarded. Some things were as easy as putting rubbish in the bin, some were as painful as saying goodbye to some friendships id been apart of out of obligation rather than a sense of actual connection with that person and having to tell them that!!

Some of the more prominent decisions I made:

1. I STOPED PERSUING MY CAREER AS A HELICOPTER PILOT!!

This for me was the number one biggest decision I made. Don't get me wrong I LOVE flying helicopters and it was a privilege to even have the opportunity to learn to fly them but the industry gave me a yucky feeling inside!! The backstabbing, talking behind peoples backs, lack of support and emotional abuse that was in the industry was terrible.

When I made the decision, I had every person I knew ask me what I was doing, if I was crazy or if I was high or going crazy but I knew deep down that this line of work was not going to fulfill me at all in the long run.

2. Only do things which are going to move my life forwards!

There were rather a few behaviors I was participating in that DID NOT move my life forward in any way. Drinking every weekend, eating unhealthy, talking about people in a bad way. So I replaced that all with eating well, talking belief into people.

3. I had to say goodbye to some friendships.

It's tough saying it but there were some friendships that I was entertaining out of obligation and to me that was selling myself short and also very unfair to the other person! So I didn't just talk to the person ever again, I told them out of respect the mission I was on and what was coming from it and why we couldn't be friends any longer. Most of those people went on their own journey and we got close again because they sorted out things I couldn't stand about them which was really cool to see!

4. I practiced gratitude every day!!

It's very very hard to live a life to the full without gratitude and gratitude will really get rid of any negative mood instantly. There are so many times in life we can be grateful for and I chose to exercise that every day!
But what I realized in this process of cleaning up my life is once I'd made space, there was room for new and better things to come into my life!

What Came From This Radical Shift

Once I'd done a lot of cleaning of my life (such a weird concept) lots of new cool things started popping up. Which I know wouldn't have come to me, if all of that old crap was still part of my life. The most rewarding of which was a new fun and loving relationship.

Sarah and I met only because I was open and my life was ready to have a partner in it! Hint: Those who are looking for love, get rid of whats not serving your life and watch the universe bring you what you're ready for.

We fell in love very quickly and started building a business together which lead us to Bali for 5 months of 2016!

Wrapping things up:

What I'm saying steemit community is everything I have in my life today is due to this spring clean of my life i did. There is no way you can bring in new and wonderful things into your life unless you get rid of the old cruddy things that don't serve you! Take it from me, its worth it!!

But I'd love to interact with you all who have been through something like this or are struggling with something in this area.
