Magnum Opus...

​What a week! I'm not sure about how yours has gone, but it has been an expansive one here! My children left on Monday morning for a two week adventure to Europe with their Dad, which has left the house quieter than usual. And also allowed a unique space for me to create and be in the stillness of possibilities.

This morning I was thinking about what I would like to share with you and a song arrived right in my shuffle as I walked outside. It is Hopeless Opus by Imagine Dragons. Songs always speak to my Soul and this one inspires me each time I hear it. The description I found about the title offers this:

"Magnum Opus is Latin and translates to “great work” or could mean an artist’s greatest work or achievement. It could mean from the title that his work hasn’t reached its full potential yet, and there is still much better to come."
​
How beautiful is that statement?! Yes, of course there is still much better to come... from him and from all of us. We are all works in progress, striving for our fullest potential.

The lyrics state it beautifully:

Hey Mr. Cage man let me get a fresh breath
Cherry bomb head strong I could fake my own death
Hey Mr. Fate man shuffle me a ninth life
I've been wrong, go long
Throwing me a sharp right
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line

I've got this place
That I've filled with empty space
Oh I'm trying not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place
Oh I'm trying not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus

Hey Mr. safe man hustle me an okay
I could slide take a dive take it for the home team
Hey Mr. postman slip me one more green note
I've been low hit the floor looking just to make broke
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line

So many of my conversations with clients and friends this week have been about timing and purpose in our lives. When will I know what I am here to do in this life? When will the big AHA present itself? Why is it taking so long or looking so messy?!

My answer is always - trust the wisdom of your own quiet space. And then to use the Imagine Dragons' lyrics  - Write your own line. Even if it's not what you thought it would be or the timing feels SO SLOW... you get to choose what comes next by claiming it. One action step at a time. Just one. And then the next. Trusting that there is still much better to come.
