While watching a movie with a friend, we were interrupted and unable to finish it that day.
A few weeks later as we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do, I suggested we finish watching the movie.
Friend: “Why do you want to watch the movie?”
Me: “To see how it ends.”
Friend: “You already know how it ends.”
Me: “I do?”
Friend “Yes.”
Me, thinking out loud: “They fall in love and get married.”
Friend: “Yep!”
Me: “So why watch the movie at all if we already know how it ends?”
Friend: “To see how they get there.”
Mic drop.
We are the creators of our lives.
We choose how we navigate and create our lives.
We can do this on purpose, or by default and just let it happen.
When we just let it happen, we are less empowered and often feel like the victim of our circumstances.
When we recognize that life is going to have ups and downs and we choose how we want to show up and navigate, we become powerful creators.
Become the watcher of your life for a moment…
Are you active or passive in managing the circumstances of your life?
Are you reactive or proactive in your responses?
No judgment, just observation and curiosity.
Do you like what you see?
Why?
What would you like to change?
If you’d like to live a more intentional life on purpose, I’d love to show you how.
