10 day blog challenge. Day 6: Finding your tribe.

What sort of person am I?

I like to think I am ambitious, full of ideas, quite positive, love going to networking events and Ibiza (poles apart, right?), love anything to do with the law of attraction, health and crystals. Also a massive marvel fan, into everything Disney and a first generation Craig David fan.

You might be thinking what has this got to do with ANYTHING?

Well the problem I have with finding a tribe is that I rarely find people that are into what I am into.

Weird, right?

As I think I have such a wide range of interests it should be easy to find a (tribe) group of people that have some similar interests??

Well, no, it’s not and I’ll tell you why.

Because in order to meet the said people I have to be vibrating on the same frequency as them and I know that looking from previous results I am not. (But it’s something that I am working on).

This is really important not just for social reasons but also for career progression and ambition, as you only grow as far as the five people you surround yourself with the most. Look around you. Your five closest friends/acquaintances/family members that you spend majority of your time are likely to average out with the same income, same level of career progression, similar relationship/relationship history, go to the same places, likely to have the same goals and so forth. As the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together!! So you need to be around people that inspire you and help you to grow as a person (advice to myself also) otherwise years and years will go by and everyone will still be in the same place.

So how can you grow with people that are technically on the same level as you? Technically you need another missing ingredient, people that are where you want to be. Now these people may also be in your tribe and therefore you might not need to go out looking for them. However, most if not all of us need to seek out the use of a mentor that has been through the trials and tribulations that we have or might go through in the future.

For myself Peter Sage would be the perfect business mentor as he is what I feel is a serial entrepreneur, self-made millionaire, has a wealth of knowledge about the health and wellness industry, does motivational speaking events, is trained by Tony Robbins, from the UK (although he now lives in Dubai) and I could go on. Everything that he does really resonates with me and what my future goals are and from listening to many of his audios he knows how to inspire through educating without bias or being too OTT.

What would I ask Peter Sage if I met him today?

The funniest thing is that I have already met him. The first time I was volunteering at a top seminar in London he helped to organise and fund, he gave us a ton of his free audios and personal development books. However, I did not know what I know now and didn’t take the opportunity while it was there!! So given another chance I would ask him:

·         ‘How did you get over the feeling of having to be certain about everything before he took risks or made decisions?’

·         ‘Do you feel that the world of entrepreneurship is different for women and different ethnic groups?’ (As he is Caucasian and male)

·         ‘What are your 3 top tips for someone under 30 starting out their business?’

·         ‘How can you use the internet/social media to create great business success?’

·         ‘What are the first steps in becoming a motivational speaker?’

·         ‘Who inspires you daily?’

I could go on and on in a whole interview with Peter Sage but I would love for him to be my business mentor, it would be like a dream come true!!

Wrong Journey? Wrong Destination? Where am I now?

So just pretend you’re driving down a long road. Sat-Nav keyed in, music playing, your favourite snacks are flowing. The road is smooth even though you hit a few speed bumps, road closures, a few obstacles, traffic jams and so forth. You're a bit tired but you’re enjoying the journey. Finally, you reach your destination.

Yes!

Let’s go!

It’s been a long ride but you are finally here.

You have arrived.

And it’s just now you thought: Nice, lovely, comforting...BUT something is just not right. You look at the long road behind you and check the path you have taken.

Then it hits you.

You’re in the wrong place.

Taken a wrong turn.

Put the wrong destination in the Sat Nav.

You look around thinking like what the actual h**l?

All of that hard work and toil, for what?

Can’t be for nothing, right?

You think of the lessons learnt along the way and wonder how they will help you get on the right road. Everything you have done before just feels like a waste.

Do you feel like this is a representation of your life so far? Worked so hard or even just strolled down a path that zoomed straight into an uncomfortable comfort zone? You might be at the top of your game, earning big bucks, be happy satisfied but...BUT, there’s a feeling of misplacement. Misunderstanding yourself. Your own wants and needs. Looking at the journey and not wanting to throw away all the hard work away but the road ahead is not where you are looking to go.

Life is a funny thing!

We don’t realise what we are scared of until we have to go to these cross roads.

We never ask ourselves the most important questions:

©      What do I want from life?

©       What gifts and talents do I have to offer in this lifetime?

©      What have I been put on this earth to do?

©      What is my mission?

It is only when we start to ask these questions then we realise that there is a ‘BUT’. However when we are living in our purpose there is no ‘but’. Obstacles are an inevitable factor in life but we should still feel like we are flowing with the universe. Being in flow as a check it constantly keeps us seeking those things that keep or help us get into alignment and keeps us true to ourselves.

So is it time to get back into the car?

Time for a new destination?

New experiences. New adventures. New feelings. New present for a new future. With all the new obstacles, road blocks and speed bumps.

Sometimes after all our hard work we realise that we have the ladder up against the wrong wall. Sometimes it can be a nightmare to find the courage to even come down from the ladder but your soul/spirit knows what is right for you ALWAYS. Your spirit is working with the universe to get you into alignment. However, I must add we must not forget these diversions after you have found a new destination as you will still get tested to see if its what you really want.

LIFE IS FOR LIVING!

So Live. Breathe. Be the best. IF that’s what you want to be. Re-tune the Sat-Nav.

Don’t fear the journey. Fear the ‘BUT’. Don’t allow other people’s fears and opinions to stop you. Don’t Live in Dogma. Don’t let someone else give you their interpretation of your life road map. Follow your heart and let the universe guide you. That is where you will find peach and bring you back to you!!
