“Is what you want worth re-organizing your life for?”
I read that question on someone’s blog recently and it took my breath away.
“Is what you want worth re-organizing your life for?”
Stop. Re-read that. Really read it.
“Is what you want worth re-organizing your life for?”
Because the thing is, what you want, the thing you wish for, hope for, and dream about will require you to re-organize your life.
No kidding.
I’m slap in the middle of it. Moving to the mountains was the first step.
Owning what I really do for clients is the second (and it’s WAY more than “getting organized and systematized” though that is still important).
Writing from my Soul is becoming the very clear third step.
This isn’t all about me. It’s about all of us. You and me and the bees and the trees.
- What is it you wish for?
- What do you dream about when you’re procrastinating during your day?
- What’s on your bucket list?
- What’s your secret dream? You know, the one you rarely speak of because you barely allow yourself to “go there” because of the equal parts joy and the misery you feel at the mere thought of this secret dream?
Re-organizing your life is no small matter. Heck, re-organizing your office can seem like a huge challenge some days, right?
And yet, if your Soul won’t let you rest…if the drumbeat of the Next Thing, the Big Thing, the Scary Thing, or the Secret Dream is getting louder…then what?
You have a choice.
- Continue on. Business as Usual. Numb out. Bliss out. Work harder. Work more. Stay busy. Ignore. Evade.
- Re-organize: your life; your spine; your breath; your calendar; your living situation; your work-life; your brain; your thoughts; your words; your actions; your environment; your friends; your family; your heart; and most especially your Soul.
I tried to stay on track #1, I really did. But the drumbeat was (is) deafening.
And I’m scared as hell. I have to put on my Big Girl panties every day. I write things that scare me. I’m mainlining courage and persistence. I’m walking through the fear and doing it anyway.
And the miracle is you can, too.
Whatever it is you want, you can have it.
My marketing mentor Jon McCulloch totally changed his life over the course of four years (he got in crazy good shape, re-worked his business, and has an incredibly loyal and enthusiastic tribe). Several of my clients are in the process of radically re-organizing theirs now. My coach Shannon Presson changed hers – and her brilliance shines like a light for me.
Is it easy?
Nope.
It is worth it?
Every. Single. Day.
Are you ready to re-organize your life? I can help.

P.P.S. If you haven’t figured it out already, the nature and flavor of my twice-weekly E-notes is changing. I’m stepping out more boldly to talk about issues of Substance and Soul. I’ll still talk about getting organized and systematized because it IS important, yet I’m learning there is More and the More is what my Soul is asking of me. If you aren’t cool with that, I totally understand. And if you want to unsubscribe, you can easily do that below. No hard feelings, I promise!
