It is YOU first or do you follow?

I don’t mean other people, I am referring to circumstance.

I have a friend who, when she sends a greeting or message, always concludes with something to the likes of, “…or wherever the day takes you…” like it’ll be a surprise as to where I’ll end up.

Me, being more of a “create a great day” person and setting clear intentions routinely, the thought of allowing myself to just float through time and space to see where I’ll end up at the end doesn’t feel very purposeful.

The magic of accomplishment is in the blend of the two, though.

It’s not about rigid control or total surrender—it’s a dance. A rhythm between setting a course and being open to the unexpected detours that carry wisdom and opportunity.

When you learn to move with both structure and spontaneity, something clicks. You become aware that intention and allowance are not opposites—they’re partners – but you need to choose YOU first.

Aha! ~ “If your personal reality is creating your personality, then you are a victim.  But if your personality is creating your personal reality, then you are a creator.”  ~ Joe Dispenza

Choosing YOU first means aligning your inner world with the outer one you wish to experience—because the shift doesn’t start out there, it starts in here.

And when it feels like life is getting in the way of your intentions, remind yourself that life IS the way. You often won’t be fully aware of why you missed that flight, why your boyfriend left, why you didn’t get that contract, why the event you wanted to attend was sold out or why the traffic was jammed when you needed to make headway but there was a reason.  There are no coincidences.

When you’re working on yourself first, your path takes unexpected twists and turns to accommodate your expansion.  The universe offers steppingstones along the path toward your bigger vision sometimes even creating voids to allow you to fill them in more novel, thoughtful or empowering ways.

As Steve Jobs said, “You can only connect the dots backwards.” Those shifts won’t make sense at the time however the bigger reason always reveals itself in hindsight.

Whatever happens, therefore, is not happening to you but for you.

Keep going. You’re right on track.
