Take Action

Right when I left the corporate world, I was playing in different mantra bands at kirtan type gatherings and groups in Chicago. I remember the owner of Yoga Now, a studio, asked if I wanted to work at the front desk. There was an opening at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. I was like, okay. I did that for two or three months. It lasted a short time, but I connected with that yoga community. There was an energy. All of these were little ways of growing energy in the world I find myself in now. Who would have thought I would work the front desk at a yoga studio? I always tell people to take one step toward their dream or passion. Educate yourself, study, become focused, become deeply engaged. Use your time intentionally. There is so much distraction now. I was doing that while in the corporate world because it interested me, and you have to take those actions. Those are the steps. It doesn't happen overnight, but the universe starts noticing. From a spiritual standpoint, the universe, your muse, or your authentic self starts realizing, 'This person is getting out of their mold and trying to find something.' Then it shows you opportunities. When you start stepping out of your comfort zone, new things are created for us to enter.
