ARE YOU ACCOMMODATING FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT?

It's a question I started speaking strongly into myself a few years ago and one that's come into many conversations with others since.

With life bringing many different season, sometimes we can find ourselves coming in and out of focus on the life that calls us.

Allowing distractions to step into the place where devotion should stand,

Seeing glimpses of what we want reflected back to us through the world,

And yet waking up each day repeating what we have become accustomed too.

Every time I take a look at life, I can see where I have come in and out of focus, strong reminders that when you live now, in the way you would if you had all you say you wanted, then you'll be ready to hold what's for you.

Like the time my daughter Summa & I sat at our new eight seater table eating dinner, I would visualise filling that table with a family. We could have easily just brought a table that sat 2 or 4, but...I was preparing for a big family - that I received, because I was ready & able to hold.

My table now accommodate 12, haha with new visualisations haha (I laugh, but I'm serious)

Or when visitors arrive and their company continues into dinner time, there's always a way to make sure there's enough food to go round - it will definitely be a bitsa dinner (a litle bit of this and a little bit of that), but always enough, and possibly a yogurt container with leftovers to take home with you - because good company & food, I value.

There are many things we say we want, yet we walk in the opposite direction, thinking when it arrives then I'll adjust, then I'll make space, then I'll become who I need to be.

Yet with that approach, when it does arrive, it can feel like you've been thrown in the deep end, with a sense of rushing to adjust to this new way of having & being.

Not too long ago, as I looked around my house all I saw was emptiness,

I was accommodating my work over a home. A two seater couch when there were four of us living here. So I started to create a home to accommodate what I want for my kids & I.

Bit by bit I started to adjust, add, delete, manage, not only the physical but mind, body, soul... a continuous daily practice.

Sometimes we don't have the means to gain the physicals things just yet, but there are many ways in which we can begin to accommodate for the life we want.

How we spend our time,

The environments we move through,

The company we keep,

The hours we work,

How we manage & care for ourselves,

The beliefs we hold and the language we speak.

It all plays a part.

When you prepare yourself for the life you dream about, then when it arrives you will be ready. You will have the space and capacity internally to hold it, to nurture it, to grow it.

There's a patience that's required of you, to live now before it all arrives. It's the patience that unlocks your capacity, that strengthens your desires, your willingness & your devotion. It's the space of patience that asks you not to fill it with distractions.

Where can you begin to accommodate for the life you want?
