Find your harmony, find your purpose, find your magic.

This is a guest post by Peggie Arvidson. Enjoy.

Let’s talk about this idea of harmony. Rachael writes about it beautifully when she speaks about the interconnectedness of life and work.

This is true no matter whom you work for, but it’s at the core of everything when you’re in business for yourself.

When you work for yourself, you, your business and your purpose are intertwined and magical. When your purpose is leading the song of your life, then it makes sense that all the melodies in the world can simply float away – except for the one that is your truth.

Think of your shoulds and your wishes and your dreams as all the little tunes that run similarly through all our lives — the family, the clients, the visions of the big and little changes that you’re going to make in the world. All these tunes and notes can run amok, unless you’re focusing on the specific, practical and technical ways to weave them together.

You are so courageous.

Weaving from note to tune to melody takes great courage. You’ve got courage by the boatload when it comes to others. You have the courage to stand in front of a moving train if it will save your child. You have the courage to ask a question of your teacher, or client or boss if something seems “off”.

Why then, does courage scamper into the back woods, darting between the elms and hiding in the shadows, when it comes time to call on it to help you cut out the notes and tunes that aren’t going to be part of your symphony?

It scampers because the ultimate test of courage is in using it on your own behalf. To create your dream, to craft the masterpiece of your life, you are the conductor of the whole kit and caboodle and THIS is some scary sh*t.

It’s all about your purpose.

The symphony you’re writing isn’t just a business. It isn’t just a way to make money and it isn’t just a tool to prove to that jack-arse High School guidance counselor (who told you to set your sights a little lower because there’s no way you could change the world) that you CAN, in fact, change the world.

The symphony you’re writing is your purpose.

Unlike the magnificent symphonies you may have heard in your lifetime, this symphony doesn’t end. It’s not “unfinished” — it’s ongoing.

Your purpose is the whole of you. It’s all the pieces of your life merging together and forming the world you live in. You choose every single day to add a note here and blend a pitch there – until you have a melody and a harmony that speaks wholly of you and your being.

The sweetest moments in your life, when you stop and remember the feeling, are not the big paychecks, or even cuddling on the couch with your sweetheart. The sweet moments are the elusive ones, the hints in the air that the creation is about to burst through. The moment when you sit back in your chair, close your eyes and tremble with the electricity of a moment of – what? Connection.

This magic happens in the whispers inside your soul. This magic happens in that instant of knowing that you are right where you are supposed to be – no matter what. Whether you’ve just sketched out your newest painting, or raised your rates, or told the kids that they’ll need to give you the space you need to grow.

That’s your magic.

That’s you, on purpose.

It takes courage to listen for those sweet sounds. It takes courage to stop doing for a minute and let the act of simply being envelop you.

The thing is, we know that song is in you. We already hear it, snips of melody here and there. Play it for us, please.
