Coaching with Joshua - Do You Remember All the Rules?

It's a cold October morning as I head out to the garage to speak with Joshua.

"Hi, Joshua, nice warm space you've got here."

"Yes, Howiej, the potbelly stove is keeping the place warm."

"So, I have been reflecting all week on the rules I learned growing up and how I tried to follow them.

I keep looking for evidence I am on the right track, mostly looking back to see if I did things right.

Did I do well in school?

Have I graduated from University?

What fantastic career did I engage in that bolstered my ego and my position in the world?

All these questions have arisen in the face of unprecedented change in the world.

The pandemic has shown me the rules are made up.

Nothing created as rules to follow; buildings, norms, financial systems, health care systems, or otherwise are permanent.

The attachment to old rules clouds my thinking as my ego adapted self wants to get back to normal.

But what do you do when there is no normal anymore?"

" Howiej, the choice is clear.

I am addressing you as your soul name because that is the place you must find love and express from there in the new world.

You have a self I call the Essential Self, which is connected to universal energy.

This is a creative state from which you bring forward new ideas and a free-flowing expression of who you are in your heart and soul.

Howiej, you can't hide anymore.

The pandemic exposes you. It is ripping away the fabric of your ego clothing that no longer serves you.

You have to know this and look deeply into the connection to your essential nature and live from there.

Think of this transition to a new life design as:

Your ordinary life is no longer standard. You are separating from your past.

The power of choice is with you. It is up to you if you use the guidance being shown to you.

Re-ignite Passion. You have the opportunity to live in a renewed, re-designed life."
