They are doing road construction near my home on almost every road that I drive! The traffic patterns change frequently.
I am particularly struck by the notion that it really makes me pay attention to my surroundings and be in the moment rather than driving on autopilot.
I realized that that so often is what happens in life. We spend a great deal of our time on autopilot rather than being present.
We don’t pay attention to the traffic, the people near us, the events around us.
We take things for granted. We choose the same actions and patterns. When A happens, we do B; when C happens, we do D, etc. We just go through the motions and don’t pay attention. We assume that things are going to stay the same and be so predictable that we barely have to even be there to live it!
Is that the life you really would like to have?
Traffic Pattern Change
What if you started living your life as if your traffic pattern changed and you had to take a different route?
What if you were present in your life, looking and even ASKING for new possibilities and opportunities?
What if you turned off your autopilot? Maybe even went so far as uninstalling it!
How much richer could your experience of life be?
How do you do that?
ASK
As I always say, one thing you can do it ask more questions.
When you notice yourself being stuck in a pattern, making the same mistakes over and over again, not getting new results or feeling stuck, ask:
What choices do I have here that I have never considered?
What questions can I ask that would shift and change this?
What could I be and do here that would make this turn out better than I could possibly imagine?
ALLOW
Then allow the universe to show you the possibilities available to you. Let the energetic whispers of choice, possibility, and change to start showing up.
Let go of how you think it should be, how it should look, when it should be … Those things shut down the energy flow, they make you not notice the possibilities that don’t match exactly how you believe it should be.
Realize that it may not show up the way you expect. In fact, it OFTEN doesn’t show up the way you expect and that’s OK. Allow it to show up however it can because often it is even better than you could have imagined!
How cool is that?
BE PRESENT
Be present with your questions. Be present with the people around you. Be present with what you truly desire. Be present with your life!
The Universe would like to gift to you, take notice of what it is offering so you don’t drive by it without even noticing it!
Remember, there may not be a big neon sign showing you where you should go and what you should do! It might be just sitting there off to the side of the road quietly waiting for you to take notice!
Yes, when you are willing to stop being on autopilot, start asking questions and actually being present with what you would like to have in and as your life, amazing things show up.
Just ask!
