Most of us spend much of our lives somewhere between "the call" and "the transition". The call is the time in your life where you realize that you're destined to do, be, create, have, and live... more. No matter where you've been, or what you've learned, earned, and/or achieved, when it's time to evolve and become a version of you that is more aligned with your highest self those things no longer seem to be enough. It's confusing and frustrating to no end; much like hearing a phone ringing that you can't find. You wish you could find it, but you also wish they would just stop calling so that there wouldn't be a sense of urgency to find it in the first place.
Alot of us have spent our lives in this space where realizing, denying, and searching dwell interchangeably and are motivated by a sense of urgency, confusion, fear, and frustration. We spend our lives trying to find or in most cases trying to ignore the proverbial phone that's ringing as we survive our daily lives and prioritize overcoming. Because who has time to look for a damn phone when bills need to be paid, children need to be raised, and dreams need to be chased?
You'd be surprised what you can get used to. Even the constant annoying ringing that was designed to get your attention eventually fades into background noise if you ignore it long enough. You can even get so used to the noise your children make that it takes someone who isn't on autopilot to tell you they're loud. I didn't believe that one until I had a noisy child of my own. We spend so much time in this mental and emotional limbo that we learn to live there. But a life built in that space will always be underwhelming. Because the life you were designed to live has been calling you and you've learned to ignore the call, in order to be comfortable as you survive on autopilot.
So how do you successfully journey from "the call" into "the transition"? The 1st thing you have to do is stop frantically looking for the proverbial phone. The purpose. The "bigger picture". Chill. Stop trying to predict what the caller will say. Stop being anxious about not answering the call "on time". The now is: there is something telling you that there's more. And yes, it's frustrating not knowing exactly where to go or how to access this thing that's calling you but there's work to be done and layers to remove before you're able to enjoy it as it was designed specifically for your healed, whole, and higher self to enjoy.
The life that's calling you is buried under layers of societal expectations, misguided narratives that we've accepted as our own, broken hearts, disappointments, disrespect and all the other things we've learned to live with and have allowed to fade into the background noises of our lives. Pat yourself on the back for functioning at a high level regardless of what's going on inside and around you. But the only way to get from the calling to a place of transition is to accept that there is more and to invest the time to sit and listen. We first have to nurture our ability to be present and aware so that we can zero in on what's been calling us. We have to accept that it will be a journey of discovery and getting closer to the source of that call is where you prepare to answer the call. By the end of this journey you will not be anxious or worried about missing the call because you know it was meant for you and it will never stop calling even if you choose to ignore it forever. You will learn to listen to your intuition and stop frantically searching because your new eyes see the most beautiful reward in the alignment of your mind, body, soul, and spirit as you get closer to what's calling you.
The only way to get to the transition is to give yourself, whole heartedly to the journey of discovery.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, no matter where you've been...you deserve the life on the other side of healing. Go get it!
