The Magic of Finding Your Lane... (or, musings from a most awesome road trip)

Dearest Sparkle Being!

I’m back! (Well, at least my body is back, my brain is on temporary leave other than to write this blog today). I have just finished 3 weeks on the road across 12 cities in Canada for my Messages from Spirit tour and am swimming in gratitude as I contemplate the experience.

Have you ever allowed yourself to really let go and let Spirit flow through you as you move fearlessly into your true lane, knowing your purpose on your life’s journey? I get it, it might not be all the time, but if you know what I’m talking about, I’m sure you can recall the strange sense of synergy between yourself and your soul that finding your lane brings about inside you, even if you experience it only for a short time. When it happens, when the sense of well-being is present, you completely forget yourself when you’re immersed in Spirit.

Once you know the feeling of being in your lane, truly being authentic, and letting that flow through you, affecting your thoughts, your perception, your motives and actions, I guarantee you will want more of it.

The magic of finding your lane requires you to relax your tight hold on what you think you want, what you think is best for you, what you think will be most successful. It requires putting your dreams and desires in Spirit’s hands, taking steps in that direction and then remaining open to serve, wearing the world loosely, without attachment and being willing to show up with all you are. It may mean relaxing your desire to conform, or giving it up altogether in order to be yourself and live with authenticity.

Yes you might lose people if you decide to be the person you know yourself to be. Maybe you won’t please them anymore, or maybe they will be threatened by your courage and audacity to break free of the accepted constraints? In the end, it won’t matter because as soon as you’re willing to let Spirit steer you into your lane magic happens- the right people are there, you feel amazing, and you begin to experience a sense of wonder and fulfillment.

Perhaps you wonder- Will I fit in here? How can I have the dream? How do I emulate, or assimilate, so I can compete, succeed, serve in a way that is accepted by the many? How can I belong? Where can I flourish? These represent a certain ambition but when you’re in your lane you don’t need it. You can become what you’re meant to be.

If you’ve accepted certain limits, either social, familial or cultural, and decided to define yourself within those, are pressured to do so, or do so because you’re afraid to come out of the “closet” as your true self, you might not feel like you belong anyway unless you’re really and truly energetically in alignment with those choices. But when you release those restrictions and allow your intuition, and your soul Self to lead, you effortlessly find your own lane and you will flourish naturally without artifice.

Let me give you an example.

For years I refused the call to being a medium, and spent so much time on trying to define myself, and my work as an intuitive, in order to fit better in the arena I thought was best for me. My ambition was to serve a more mainstream educated audience. I created my coaching school, and put a lot of focus on that, which also allowed me to stretch intellectually. I was a successful intuitive. But when it came to mediumship I was not having it. Yet it comes to me so easily and without effort, and was obviously calling me (and then started yelling at me) but I kept refusing it. Yet I always felt somehow I wasn’t 100% in my own skin.

Once I stopped resisting it, and allowed Spirit to lead me my life changed dramatically. Doors opened effortlessly. I am back where I belong at Hay House, and I am brimming with gratitude about that. I know why I am here and what my service is and I am getting out of my own way and allowing Spirit to lead me which means I also have to trust 1000% that all will be well no matter what. As long as I am being myself, being honest with myself and others, dropping the masks and the constructs that don’t serve, I will continue to experience my journey from my lane instead of swerving all over the place.

Taping the TV show Messages from Spirit as a medium and now touring, I know without a shadow of a doubt what it feels like to be 1000% myself. It doesn’t matter what others think of me anymore. I am not trying to serve or thinking about the right way to serve the right people for the right purpose.

I am serving. Period. I am living my purpose. That includes everything I am and all that I do. I don’t fit in any box nor will I ever. My lane is clear and paved with authenticity. Even though I expect there will be bumps in the road, and corners I won’t be expecting I am right where I belong.

To be honest I love my life now more than ever and I think I feel free for the first time in my life.

So have courage my loves. Get out of your own way. Let Spirit lead you. Your inspirations may not fit a mold you think is best, or you might fear you won’t be successful etc. but I guarantee you if you allow yourself to let go your old ideas, and take one step towards the gods, trust they will take 10 towards you and your lane will light up with celestial electricity and you will be filled with awe.

Once you’re on it, you won’t ever want to get off it again.

Like the song says “Life is a Highway… and I’m gonna ride it!”

Love to hear from you in the comments. Have you ever felt this? Tell me a Story!

Love you always and forever – your Colette
