As I journey through this life, I have come to realize that it operates in cycles. The older I become, the more apparent it becomes that certain lessons and experiences have a way of returning to us, each time offering a new perspective or a deeper understanding. It's as if life is constantly reminding us of the things we need to learn in order to grow and evolve.
There is a certain sense of destiny or fate at play in our lives. The people, places, and opportunities that are truly meant for us have a way of reappearing, almost as if they are drawn to us by an invisible force. I do find it comforting to believe that what is meant for us will always find its way back to us, no matter how many detours or distractions we may encounter along the way.
I have really been sitting with the comfort of what is meant for you will find you. Feeling the pull to control the situation instead of allowing things to unfold is not a habit I am able to relax into. I find myself forcing things into places that they do not fit, myself included. Feeling like if I just twisted a little to the left I could squeeze myself into this space, or that situation. When I look back at times in my life that things really didn't work out the way I had planned, I often see that the reason may have been that I was twisting myself to fit. I wasn't allowing my authentic self to attract that which serves my highest self.
As I step more into my authentic, allowing that which is meant for me to find me I am seeing this universal law first hand. Opportunities, situations, people and places coming into alignment. Opportunities reappearing that I had previously hesitated on, or passed up on. Opportunities like the Sacred Souls Full Moon Ceremony , like the many amazing PODCAST Guests, like the chance to join a HUGE book collaboration project, and even the opportunity to come back to working with Arbonne to serve my community. Many of these opportunities I "missed out on" the first time(s) they presented themselves. I didn't see the value, I didn't have the bandwidth for them, or maybe I just could not SEE the actually opportunity because I was clouded by controlling judgement. It's actually beautiful to see them back, presenting themselves in my life again.
I feel that when opportunities circle back to us, they come with a new awareness and more knowledge. They bring more experiences and return when we are perhaps more fully able to appreciate them, more open to receive them. Take, for example, Arbonne. Fifteen years ago, when I first started to look for a way to provide nutritional products, clean care products, and makeup for my family and my clients, I found Arbonne. I loved the shake powders, and the mascara was second to none. I was able to purchase products that aligned with my values and ethics, as well as helping clients do the same. However, at the time, I felt like a square peg in a round hole. I didn't fit into the team and decided to move on to try something else.
Arbonne was one of those product lines that I truly loved, and I found myself coming back to it each summer for my Energy Fizz and, in the last five years, as a source of many yummy mocktail ingredients. When the opportunity presented itself to work alongside women who have experienced similar hormone struggles and individuals with whom I felt more comfortable, I was open to receive it. This time, when the opportunity arrived, I could actually grab hold.
As I step back into a space that I thought I was leaving behind for good (listen to my podcast NETworth Marketing for the scoop on this one), I see this opportunity with different eyes, and I'm genuinely excited to have it circle back. Joining Arbonne now feels like finding the missing puzzle piece for my offerings in my group coaching. This addition allows me to provide a more comprehensive and holistic approach to wellness for my clients. It’s a testament to how opportunities can come full circle, enriched with new perspectives and readiness to embrace them fully.
Coming to a place where I can embrace the circular nature of life helps me navigate its ups and downs with more grace and understanding. It teaches me to appreciate the interconnectedness of our experiences and trust in the unfolding of our personal journeys.
Let us welcome each turn of the circle with an open heart and a curious mind, knowing that each revolution brings us closer to our true selves and our ultimate purpose. This perspective allows us to see opportunities, like the return to Arbonne, with fresh eyes and renewed excitement, ready to fully embrace and integrate them into our lives.
