Sunday Story…Find Your

Center and extend from there. Then return to center. Extend and return. Lather rinse and repeat.

So how do you find your center and how will you know when you do?

Your center is the place where everything is right with the world. You are calm when you are there. The world is right. When life is flowing and seems effortless you are centered. The opposite is true as well…when you are struggling and it feels like everything you do is swimming against the current you may not be centered. This could be because you are trying to get somewhere or something that is outside your current zone of comfort. That’s OK. Remember we are extending from center. When the scales are balanced nothing is moving…there is no effort against the tide since you aren’t going anywhere.

When we start from center we are beginning with the end in mind. It is our intention to return to center even if we bring a new perspective and attitude with us. We can extend out; reach past our comfort zone in order to achieve the goals we want to achieve. Then we return to center and begin to look for a new target.

Your center is your “happy” place. It also the place that fuels your desires and has you see your goals in the distance. If you live a life constantly outside of center you will find it difficult to achieve very much. The old saying about seeing the forest for the trees applies here.
