EPISODE 013: When Will We Graduate?

EPISODE 013: When Will We Graduate?

Hello, Dear Soul! "When Will We Graduate?" When one of my coaching clients asked me this question, I thought this would be a great topic to discuss on today's program. Do you ever feel like the more you know, the less you know? Each level of life requires learning and growing. We’re always expanding, exploring, and discovering. 

The lessons are never-ending, because there’s always MORE to learn. 

The bigger question is this: What are you committed to learning?

The love/hate relationship I have with technology is that once I learn something, it changes.Technology is a lot like LIFE. The more we know, the more there is to know.

Back when my S.O.L. journey began, I started to see things differently. Then I realized that the lessons and wisdom have always been there within me. Sipping on life is simply about reflecting on our lives.

Whatever story we’re telling, we can graduate to the next level of receiving it…IF we’re open to seeing it a different way.

S.O.L. has been so life changing for me that I wanted to bring it to the world. Imagine hearts and souls sipping on NOW, and appreciating the flavor that IS right now. Whether it’s bitter or sweet. Let’s sip on it. Let’s contemplate and share.

When I began to share S.O.L. with other women, I started to meet with ONE dear soul every single week. We’d share insights. Life as we saw it…life as we knew it and would like to know it. As well as, who we were becoming in the process. 

Ever since the beginning, I’ve had a big vision in my heart and soul for sharing S.O.L. with the world. 

In order to share anything with anyone, WE must be willing to receive it fully FIRST. 

If you want to graduate and go to the next level in your life, you’ve got to be where you are…when you are. 

We’ve grown a lot from that day many years ago.

And NOW, in less than 13 episodes, we have S.O.L. listeners in 10 countries. That’s huge! (Thank you so much!!) 

Is this graduating? Yes. Graduating to the next level. But there’s no such thing as being done with school or done with learning. 

If today you feel as though you’ve graduated a long time ago, and you’re not open to learning, then you’re missing out on the true essence of sipping on life. 

But I believe if you’re here, then you have a heart and soul that’s seeking. (Yay!)

Remember, seeking is a lifelong adventure. 

Those who find are those who seek. 

Continue the process of seeking. And when you feel like you’ve “got it,” then you go to the next level. Which is basically breaking down everything you just learned, and seeing it from a new perspective. 

That’s what graduating in life is all about. It’s graduating to a new level of understanding and insight.

Ask yourself how you can see things differently. It’s in your SEEING, that you can then believe things differently. This leads to different behaviors, and creating NEW THINGS with old, age-old wisdom.

It’s not wisdom until you accept it, and KNOW it. THEN share what you know, and flow with your knowing. 

YOUR SACRED S.O.L. STEP FOR TODAY:

1. Grab your S.O.L. D.A.T.E. (Daily Action To Engage with yourself) Journal and write down the GRADE LEVEL of your current level of living/learning. (For example, if the highest level of learning in life is Level 11, then where are you on a scale of 1-11?)

Where are you in relation to the level of constant and never-ending learning…and growth?

1. Circle it, and make a commitment today to go to YOUR NEXT GRADE LEVEL.

Begin to seek out the knowledge and wisdom you’re looking for. Not so you can keep it to yourself, but so you can express and expand from within yourself. Begin to share yourself at a higher level with those you touch. 

Please do this today. 

I’d love to hear from you. Come over to the WomenSippingOnLife.com community and sisterhood. Check it out. I’ve got some free resources for you.

I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. I can’t wait.
