Inspire Encourage Support

Years have passed, nearly five, in fact, since learning I was to leave the corporate world. I made the decision before the sentence came down that no matter what, however, I would be happy, fulfilled, and content with my life.  What I hadn’t counted on was the continual change with regards to the directions I’d be led in--down paths of unhappiness, unfulfillment, and discontent.

The road traveled.
Now before you feel sorry for me, let me say I would do it and have those feelings all over again. They took me on a journey to where I am today---back to the place of happiness, fulfillment, and contentment.

Transition sucks. But without it you remain in a rut, stuck in the mud and mire of your ho-hum life wondering what’s next, when will things get better, and asking what in the world am I doing here.

Taking the time to figure it all out.
The silence maintained in my blogs and social media presence has granted the permission I needed in order to follow my own heart. I’m a certified Dream Coach® and have assisted many clients to manifest in their lives what they’ve dreamed of. I should be able to do that for myself, right?

Of course, right.

And so I have.

A new beginning.
I am rewriting my business, rebranding what I do, and re-establishing the happiness, fulfillment, and contentment within in my life.

I have let go of the stuff that no longer serves me. I have let in new opportunities. And I have let the field of possibility grow.

I’ve always loved to write. And for the last five years, I’ve been writing almost daily—sometimes a lot, other times not so much. But words are being logged that are coming directly from my thoughts. And those thoughts, as I encourage my clients to do, are written as they occur and not edited in any way. This practice brings about the purest form of not only who you are, but also listening while your soul is speaking to you.

If you are new to my writings, please hang out here for as long as you wish, looking over my other posts. The offers on this site remain in effect. And then, when you’re ready pop on over to my new site.

If you are an old friend, please follow me tomorrow over at my new digs. I’m very excited to be on this adventure with you.

To your writing success,

And yet, another conversation revolving around transitioning though a broken relationship.

A friend recently approached me concerning how to handle a break-up. No, not of the romantic kind, still with someone who has greatly touched his heart. He came to me because I had the exact same break-up with the exact same person—it was a business relationship.

I’m sorry that any of us have to go through the process of separation. Yet, in the end you will realize there are specific reasons why it happened.

In getting over another long-term and very deep friendship I had to write my third book, The Acceptance Factor: To Serenity and Beyond. It’s a quick read—45 minutes, perhaps—longer if you complete the exercises.  But, as one reader told me, it’s spot on, yet so simple.

People who inspire us, who we learn from, who helps us to reach the very depths and recesses of our soul are like a fine liqueur: bold and beautiful; and as you drink in the elixir a warming comes over your body that feels so good; the senses are immediately awakened and you become high on the fumes that raise you up to a new height where no one has ever taken you before!

But then, the inevitable occurs. You have learned as much as you can from each other and it’s time to part, to go your separate ways, walking the path to brilliance with your new-found knowledge and tools.

“How do you do it? How do you get to the place of calm and peace,” my friend asked.

Take stock. Look at what you’ve gained, how strong you’ve become. Look at how many people have benefited from your skills and knowledge, all from knowing and working this person!

See all the possibilities. What can you do with the skills and knowledge learned? How can you help someone else that’s going through what you are?

Accentuate the positive.  What is going on in your life that is good and noble? Come back to that as often as needed. Increase the positive words used throughout the day. Change up your negative thoughts concerning a subject (or this one!) and find the good. Example: If I hadn’t learned from so-and-so how to deal with those inside voices, I wouldn’t be the sane person I am today.  OR Thank you, for the workshop where I wrote this beautiful poem about my dad.

Take action. This is what I call the step to end all steps. By taking action, even the tiniest of actions, you move forward toward the goal you seek. Write out your list of assets; increase the positivity in your thoughts and language. Rinse and repeat

What I’d also like to share with you is that you are not alone in your thoughts or feelings; and that you are loved and held. Other thoughts that helped me along the way, as you’ll discover in my book about acceptance, is that this separation must occur if we are to continue with our personal and inner growth. Thinking of this change or transition transforms it into the natural progression that it truly and sweetly is.

During the process of finding out what went wrong with my deep and close friendships, I realized that we’d outgrown each other. I no longer need them and they no longer need me. As simple as this sounds, the pain and the hurt takes a long time to evaporate.

But by using and repeating that mantra as often as needed, it has made me stronger to step away from the relationship’s hurt and frustrations.

To be honest, you will have months of cleansing to do, but they will be the best and most freedom-filled days you’ve experienced in a long, long time. Journal. Keep reaching out to those who’ve been there, done that, and who’ve come out the other side happier, healthier, and far richer than any dollar amount in the bank could ever make you.

What I see in your future is being able to turn around and help those who you know or who request your knowledge in how to get past situations and relationships that are toxic and hurtful; those who just want to make the pain go away. You know it’s not an overnight fix, yet you’ll be there every step of the way until they reach the freedom they seek.

To your success,
PeggyLee
