The entire time a seed is growing toward full flowering it is seeking the light. What does this have to do with your journey? The victim into hero can seek to find themselves, to understand who they can become. When you move from hero into guide seeking the light means being cleaner and cleaner, being clearer and clearer in your motivations, in the structures of your life and what you include in (and keep out of) your life.

Sometime in spite of having clarity and purpose in what you are doing you hit a valley… you lose that sense of direction and clarity. And that can make you feel lost and maybe even sad, like what you are doing doesn’t matter. It’s not really being lost, it’s being disconnected.

Creating your own world means deciding what’s true in your world and what’s not, what the rules are of this world and even who gets to be in this world and who doesn’t. When you do this you actually kind of create your own sovereign nation inside another country. You create your own reality in the middle of the generic paradigm most of those around you are living in.

If you don’t do this you still end up living by the rule and in the world you grew up in rather than in your own and living inside an apology for who you are.

How does it work to show up, have no conscious idea of what to speak about or what to share, tune in and have something come through? In every collective there is a joint yearning for movement. As a leader at all times you can tune into that craving and speak to it. And the most effective leaders consistently do this.

Identify where do you spend time in management of your own energy vs. having your energy accessible to your vision and the vision that wants to flow through you.

You often think that your bigger mission in this world is about the rest of the world, and it is. But the person that is first in line to be transformed by your own mission is YOU.

Today we are talking about two games. The first is ornamentation. Meaning, “I need to dress myself up to be pretty and presentable… including my ideas and talking about what I do and what I see in the world. Only then can I hope it will be well received in the world.”

In this game you think your power lies is in having the best ornamentation. And to some extent in this game that is true. But you know you are here for a deeper purpose so winning at the game of ornamentation feels off or hollow.

The other game is the game of rootedness. Think of a huge tree with deep, deep, deep roots interconnected with the other trees for collective support and nourishment. The thing we often fail to talk about is how much attention is being put on growing your own roots deeper around power, authority, your own sovereignty and standing tall in what you are here to share.

Despair because of what “is”. What we see, the tragedies that happen in front of us. We an also choose to look at it with optimism and joy because there is opportunity for change here. The world is getting tilled, turned over. We have got to go to the depths for transformation. We have to go to the depths because that is where the gold lies… that is where the evolution of the next version of who we are lies.

When you say in your marketing,”This ship goes here…” or “I take people on this journey…” what is that arch and who in your heart and soul do you know you are meant to take on that journey. Because you need to see yourself as the captain of this ship.

Your work maybe an answer to unspoken questions but your work is not the questions themselves. It is very important to separate these two things.

The questions are sitting there alive, moving and stirring people in their soul. Sometimes your role is NOT to provide the answer but to name the question to begin with.

Great change requires great trust. Why are you continually called to more? Because you came to this earth plane at this time wanting expansion, wanting growth, wanting to blossom in the most glorious way. And every time you expand it requires you to do two things amongst others. One is to step outside the identity you have built.

Hello, Courageous Messengers! Jeffrey is away this week so we’ve pulled a beautiful video from his archives. This is from the Month of Business Prayer series from January 2019. We know you will enjoy it!

We speak through the rustle of the leaves in the wind. We speak through the exchange at the grocery store. We speak through messengers. We speak through you. This world, this universe is alive.

Especially when you harness the potential of this universe in service to the work you are here to do in this world. As a messenger your job is to activate a knowing within people about a reality that we don’t yet see in front of our eyes.
