"This Journey really took me from not knowing what I want in life, to opening myself up to the universe to guide my thoughts and actions to lead me to a purpose."

When I started this quest, I was excited because I couldn't wait to see a transformation within myself. This Journey really took me from not knowing what I want in life, to opening myself up to the universe to guide my thoughts and actions to lead me to a purpose. I've spent a lot of the days meditation on the job I'm in as I've been battling for a few years as to whether I want to be in this industry or not. I took my current position 6 months ago and told myself I would dedicate at least 2yrs to it. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone completely, and at first I was excited about pushing myself in areas that I felt uncomfortable, however, towards the 3rd week of this quest I found myself feeling extremely blocked in my creativity around my job. And found myself beginning to feel like I'm not connected to my higher self any longer. Then something amazing happened yesterday (day 29), when I did the guided meditation with Vishen (I was about to do a video project for work and needed some creative vision to show up) and when I was asking the vision within the meditation why it wanted to show up in my life, the three words that showed up were: Sing, compassion, go. I was very confused because it had nothing to do with my work project... the two people I envisioned this helping were my two bosses (the CEO of our company and my direct report). I then decided to just let it go.... two hours later, I get a call from my CEO, direct report and HR, and was informed that due to the ressession that COVID-19 is bringing about, I along with 6 other colleagues are being laid off. I was a bit in shock, but for some reason, not surprised and there was a certain point in time that I did feel a bit sad, but more concerned because I knew that my husband would be a bit overwhelmed by the news. Something inside me was calm and I knew that the universe showed up and is literally steering me in the direction it wants me to go.... What's crazy is that I put my singing on the back burner for so many years that I fear I'm too old to do anything with it... but it's been a passion of mine, and throughout this quest, singing kept creeping into my mind. I too want to be a life coach and open a center in South Africa one day.. and to be honest, I don't know exactly how to go about reaching those goals yet... but this quest has taught to trust God/universe to just put my goals on paper, visualize it and leave it to GOD to deal with the HOW. Vishen, thank you for showing up in my life, along with so many other life coaches I've come to know through Mindvalley, I know my journey is just beginning and that I will probably struggle with my humaness and state of mind from time to time, but I so appreciate the tools you've provided to get me through the struggles. I truly feel such a connectedness with the Mindvalley community (unfuckwitable) and will continue being connected and will continue to learn. One of my dreams is to be able to attend Afest soon and meet you in person.
