“True North” Is Calling Me Home
Knowing my True North gives me courage to focus my energy where I believe it should be, not according to what is popular or pleasing to others – Jennifer Cummings
There are times when you feel drawn by something that you can’t quite name. It’s a whisper in your ears, a tug in your heart. You feel it pulling you towards “true north” or home. You may not understand it, but you know that you have to go there. When you are searching for your place in this life, you are looking for your soul’s home.
Your interior compass may seem to be spinning in all directions. You no longer have an interest in looking backwards. You just don’t know what direction to take.
Coincidence doesn’t exist and goosebumps never lie. Your body already knows the answer. All you have to do is turn down your spinning mind and continue to follow all signs. Because you are always worthy of becoming your best and most actualized self – Victoria Erickson
When you are at one of life’s transitions and trying to re-imagine a new life for yourself – that is when you need others. You can help each other to find the way to your own souls’ home.
You don’t throw limited beliefs into each other’s faces. You help to end the wobble in each other’s compass, so you can each find your own true north. These kinds of friends celebrate you living your own truth, your divine destiny. Sharing a path with such a person is a sacred gift.
The path to home is found in only in the direction of the winds of change. The storms of life are by design to help you change. They don’t happen to you; they happen for you. Recognize change when it comes upon you, learn what it has to teach you, and always keep your compass on your own True North.
We are not retreating – we are advancing in another direction – Douglas MacArthur
How much you go through in these storms is determined by the attitude you have, by the actions you take, and how well you are listening and paying attention to what is happening. I think that the meaning you give to things has a large part to play in how you advance.
Are you retreating or advancing in a new direction? One view indicates failure, and one view indicates resilience.
The more clarity you take in, the less damage the storm brings with it, as you go through it.
It is always your choice of having a breakdown or a breakthrough.
You don’t have to get lost drifting in the “good old days” feeling sorry for yourself. You don’t try to avoid the truths that the storm reveals to you by using drugs or alcohol or sex to escape it. You cannot become who you wish to be, if you don’t push forward and leave the past behind you.
When you focus too much on your past, you give away your power in the present and the future.
Goals are my north star. My compass. The map that guides me along the road I wish to travel. Goals are motivations with wind in their sails, they carry me forward despite the storms – Richelle Goodrich
LemonadeMakers don’t wait for the world to change into a better place. They change themselves, guided by their journey to their own True North.
LemonadeMakers are driven by the passion they have in life, to do and be extraordinary. As each individual, upon each individual changes, the world changes with them. It may not happen overnight, and it may not happen as fast as you want it to happen. But it will happen.
LemonadeMakers are all just walking each other home. Home is not where you were born. It is not your current place of residence.
It is a place that you find deep within yourself. It is that space in your heart, where your soul resides. It is the place where you discover your true self.
And if the sun is too hot, or the rain is a down pouring torrent, or the snow becomes a blizzard, then we can be each a shelter for each other, until the path home becomes clear again.
