Life is not a straight line, no matter how much we may want to force it to be. The key to a fulfilling and meaningful life is in our ability to ride the wave of life, knowing how to steer, lead, course-correct, recalibrate, and align in mind, body, and spirit. It is an active and ongoing process—as active as you are aware of it and allow it to be. The more actively engaged you are in the process, the more access you have to the power to create. This is a vast topic to cover but for this section, we’ll take a bite size of it: congruency.

Sometimes, we want A, think B, do C, speak D, expect E but secretly hope for F, and actually feel like—deep down or subconsciously—we may deserve G. Do you wonder why your life is a mess or things don’t go quite smoothly? When you have A, B, C, D, E, F, and G energy going on concurrently, you are taking up a lot of unnecessary space and energy in your life, and it can amplify the feeling of burden, blockage, or obstacles, thereby further circumventing the clarity of the mind that you need to sort things out or to take actions.

There isn’t anything wrong with the example here; it is part of being human. We are complex human beings who have complex human experiences. We all have A–Z going on concurrently, here and there, and that is OK. The more you can simplify and align, the more clarity you can have to affect your life in powerful ways.

In a perfect world, we want to go from A, B, C, D, E, F, G to A, A, A, A, A, A, A to A, A, A and then to a single pointed A, where all things become instantaneously magical. In reality, we might not get there or might not sustain that in all areas of our lives all the time. We are humans, after all. Therefore, instead of perfection, the goal here is to try to achieve as much congruency as we can in any area of our lives.

Take stock, reflect, recalibrate, course-correct, take action, reflect again, and up the game. What better time than now to take stock of your life? Compare how things are now to how you would like to shape your next twelve to eighteen months. Think about it!
