The Evolving Parenting Path

This week I’ve been discussing Path and Purpose… and I even shared yesterday how I was inspired by a tag line from an email I’d received… just proving that this “higher idea” of having a purpose and a defined path is all around us!

I also shared my purpose with you… and if you’ve ever taken the chance and shared something with anohter person, you can relate to how liberating of a feeling it is to be authentic and real!
So, really, sharing is for BOTH of us…

I believe that the Path and Purpose are equally as important… and you might have one figured out before the other… if this is the case, don’t worry about it, the other will come soon.
And the reason I say that the other will come soon is because they work congruently with each other.

Okay, enough with the reasons… You’re probably wondering **what is my “path”**?

So, you’re PATH itself is the 30,000 foot view, so to speak… but you’re looking at Google Maps.
In other words, its the overview that will take you to your purpose.

Think of your path as being the thing that contains the WAY to get to something (*your purpose*) and the roadmap to make it.

It’s the direction you are going, but it’s also more than that… Knowing your path will give you a sort of “filter” in which your pupose can live.

Yesterday I shared with you my Purpose, so, today I am going to share with you my path…

And please keep in mind that this is incredibly personal and it fits me right now…

My Path in life is Evolution, constantly and consciously evolving.

This might sound a bit generic on the surface, but if you really think about it for awhile it will start to sink in…

And you know what works really well for me?

I put something “down” for awhile and come back to it later… if it still makes sense, I keep it…

And if it’s really good, I start to take it on other *levels*…. and those are the good ones!

So, as you can imagine, I didn’t arrive at this overnight. It took some time to come to this particular thought, get the phrasing correct so that it encompassed excactly what my thoughts were, and then I simply made it my own.

Be thinking about what’s important to you and how you want to get there… when you start to see similarities and they naturally begin to bridge together, you’re on your way.

Being a Single Parent, I really encourage you to think about this and find YOUR place… We have the common thread of raising children on our own, but our stories are unique and special in their own way.

As your Parenting Path is becoming more clear to you remember that we’re in this together, learning lessons along the way!

Talk to you soon,

Cliff
