I wonder if you have read the book Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey? I have read the book and listened to it on audible a few times now. It has made me ponder and think about life and how we can break it down into red lights, amber lights and green lights.
It also has made me wonder what season and stage I am in right now.
Red light - no. stop. Pause. Breathe. Slow down. Live in this moment. Give yourself permission to rest. Let life unravel. Let life unfold a little more. Give yourself some space. Take a break. This is not working. Change. Pivot fast. Look for new options. allow life to really lead you to what you need to do next. Is this red light actually a blessing? Where in my life am I being brave and living completely authentically and where am I not? What is kinking my hose? What do I need to let go of? What am I making space for?
Amber light - maybe. Use caution. Start to slow down and stop if you can. Breathe. Speed up if you think you can make it. Always stop if you are able to safely. Am I missing something? If I stop now will I miss the opportunity? If I don't stop now will I miss the opportunity? It makes me feel like those sliding door moments. yes or no, decided in that split second. Am I in alignment with my truest and highest value system? What belief systems need to be upgraded? What emotions need to be cleaned and cleared?
Green light - a whole hearted YES. In total alignment. Feels incredible. The flow of life force energy is flowing freely and flooding my life with incredible people, place, opportunities and so much love. Living with the audacity to be completely authentic and totally aligned to our morals and values.
Whatever light you find yourself on, whatever season of life you find yourself in, please know that you always have choice, life is constantly changing from red to green to amber just as it does from winter to spring, summer to autumn. If you listen closely and always let your heart lead the way and know that life is always unfolding and evolving. Somehow, no matter what, it just keeps getting better and better the more we live in our authenticity and from our hearts.
Do you have the audacity to be authentically you?
Whenever it feels like I am in the depths of winter (literally!) and at the red lights of life, I remind myself that the only thing certain in life is change and that soon enough the winter will turn to spring and the red light will change to green. Until then, I will have the audacity to be authentic and when the time is just right, the sun will come out and the lights will change and me, I will be ready to go!
