Over the next 5 days, I’d love to share some of my experience of turning your Seeking into Finding.
Welcome to day 2!
Have you ever been to a seminar and never applied what you learned? Have you ever bought a book and just put it on your bookshelf? Do you know what to do to make change but you canโ€™t seem to stay focused?
I can really relate.

Have you seen the last Kung Fu Panda movie? There is this great scene where Master Shifu suddenly leaves and puts Po in charge of his teaching. But Po has never taught before and says he canโ€™t do it. He tries to teach but seems to mess everything up. It is painful and hard for him and he wants to quit! Until he finds himself and realises:

If you want to create more meaning in life, you will have to get out of your comfort zone and do something different.
Your saboteur and ego want to keep you the same, because sameness means safety. Even if that safety is a life of mediocrity, poverty, sickness, complaining, brokenness, unhappiness and depression.

Rather than trying to make massive changes immediately, implement a small and incremental step every day. Set a 3-6 month outcome and chunk it down into daily activities that inspire you to achieve that goal.
For example, I have booked my London marathon (42km) for October and started training two months ago.
I couldnโ€™t immediately run 42km in one go! Let alone 5km. After I ran 2km on my first day my knee started to hurt. My body wanted to keep me safe and not do the marathon! It wanted to give up before I even started.
But I persisted, I went to the chiropractor, did some yoga and a few weeks later I started running again.
I ran a 10K race last week and yesterday I ran 14K at 6am.
Next week I will run a half marathon, followed by another half marathon a month later after which I am confident to run a full marathon.
The marathon in October is my Northern Star and every day I take a small and incremental step towards it.
