in the crumbling, get curious

about who you are & what you want

Hi everyone

Thank you for being here.

I wrote an article in December about how corporations are crumbling and we're seeing that and more and more as the months go by. The wonderful thing about Covid was that it gave people some time to really question how they're spending their days where they're working and if that's really working for them. I know lots of people who've chosen to leave corporate life start up their own business, do something different or work from home because they've been able to do that more and more, whilst still doing their job effectively and spending time with their family, which is more important than travelling to work every day.

So people have been making different choices over the last few years and that intensity around the quality of the experience of life is growing because people are asking, is this something that I want to be doing every day now? If you didn't need to earn the money - let's say you were given money and all you had to do is contribute to society, would you still do the job that you are doing right now?

For some of you that might be yes, but I would guess that for a lot of people the answer would be no.

So why is that important? Are we really here to spend days 3-4 five days a week, 8 hours a day doing something that we don't enjoy, just because we believe that we have to earn that money, or it's too difficult to earn money doing something that you love? I've coached a lot of people and I include myself in this, believing that what I used to do was the only way to earn a decent amount of money and that's been the same for my clients who've got lots of talents in other areas such as music or being an artist and feel that corporate life is the only answer. It's not true but we've been programmed and conditioned to believe that and, in a way, have become slaves to a system that doesn't work for us. If you enjoy going to work and you are treated with kindness love and respect on a daily basis, then wonderful, but in my experience that's not the case for a lot of people.

I’ve talked about heart led and heart centred businesses being the way forward and it truly is the way forward because anything that isn't heart led and heart centred will crumble in the coming years as people become more and more aware of the truth of our reality. We've been told so many lies about what this world is all about, what life really is and it is most certainly not going to do a job that you don't particularly love every day or five days a week. It's not the way it's meant to be and so knowing that and feeling that to do what you love, if you know what you love, and if you don't then there's another opportunity to find out, is what do I do next.  

What is important is that you take one small step – so, if for example you love flowers and you'd love to have your own flower shop, go and talk to a florist. Just one small step to find out how to learn more about being a florist or how they started their business. Get curious, ask questions, just take a small step you can still carry on doing the job you're doing, but in making that small step, you're telling the universe this is what I want. This is what fills my heart with joy. This is who we are this is how it's supposed to be every day.

I'm not saying floating around on some fluffy cloud and having lovely experiences every day. No we have challenges - having the challenge is really important it's what helps us to grow, it's what helps us to know who we truly are. If we do the work, we will find out more and more about who we are and what we love and what we want to do more of the time.

If you think about where you work, if you work for a corporation that has values, then are those values acted out and communicated on a daily basis by the leadership team and by your boss. Is there true authenticity? Is there communication - do you know what's really going on? Do you always get answers to your questions? Is there fairness and consistency? Is there love? Yes, love at work!

The most ideal scenario is there isn’t a work you and a home you, there is you experiencing life, going somewhere and producing something or being of service, helping people, doing what you want to do, getting curious. If you don't know, then just start doing something different.

We're all here to do something that is of service and we're only able to do that if we know who we are and if we speak our truth. We can only do that if we feel safe to do that. If we feel safe to be to be me to be you, to speak your truth. Can you do that and if not, get curious about why not and just ask questions? It is really powerful and if you're afraid to ask a question, then ask it anyway, because in stepping into that fear - which is false evidence appearing real - unless there's a bear chasing you down the street and that is real fear, then it's not real, it's just something that you're thinking is real. So then you ask the question and you find out whether what you’re thinking is actually going to happen. But whatever happens, you'll get more information and that's the information that you want to get.

So give it a try and if any of this resonates with you, then take a step forward, just one small step, towards something that you're curious about from your heart.

Much love

Pauline
