The Law of Polarity! ⚖ 🤯

The Law of Polarity ⚖

I road tripped up to the start of my roadie around Scotland today and as I was driving through Cumbria I was hit with so many thoughts.

10 years ago I qualified in my career job, I travelled the UK doing interviews and was offered a job in Cumbria. Keswick was to be my base station. I took the job and began planning to pack up my life and move from Surrey where I qualified to Cumbria, having a brief time at home in Wiltshire in between.

In the meantime, I'd been given an interview by my local Trust but the interview was only days before my start date in Cumbria.

I decided to take life by the proverbial balls and go to the interview, if it went well, I'd risk it and turn down the job in Cumbria. If it didn't go so well, I'd last min pack myself and my doggy up and we'd go stay in a B&B while I start my job and find a place to rent (renting a house back then was much quicker and easier! I wasn't worried!)

So, I presume you can guess as I never left, the interview went well and the risk paid off, I got offered a job and started local to home a couple of months or so later.

BUT, I've ALWAYS wondered, did I make the right call? How different would my life have been if I'd moved? Beautiful area, slower pace of life, lower cost of living. And let's face it, my 10 years haven't exactly been plain sailing. I've had some really dark times.

Its so funny, how you really are only ever one decision away from a totally different life.

But are you?

I often have this thought in the back of my head. I should have given it a go, I should have gone, I'd love to know how different my life would be now. A curiosity, rather than a regret.

I sat with this today, and spent an hour journalling to finally release this.

I realised that, actually, my life wouldn't be that different. At worst I would be still learning the lessons I have learnt over the last 10 years, at best I'd be in exactly the same position I am now.

OK, the names, and faces and challenges would have shown up differently but my soul contracts would have been the same.

So, I realised that although everything can be totally different, it's also always exactly the same.

Wow 🤯
