Some of us are being 'Missioned Up'

Do you recognise yourself here?

There are people who know they have gifts, who lead their life from their gifts and who are going deeper with the gifts they have already embodied. Because they know there is so much more.

These are the people who recognise themselves as having strong levels of emotional, spiritual and professional maturity. They’re proud of who they’ve become, the transformation they’ve experienced and the impact they’ve made. And they know there is So Much More of who they are to step into, lead and create ripples from.

They want to squeeze every drop out of life and when it’s time to leave this life to know they have zero regret. They gave it their all. They lived their biggest, most authentic and meaningful life and as a result they touched the lives of many. They fulfilled their soul contract.

Having said that, even though they’ve experienced truly life-changing transformation they haven’t fully handed themselves over to this mission. There’s more. And….sometimes even though they’ve achieved so much they notice times where they subtly slipped into a paradigm of making good enough to be good enough. Responsibility, expectation, roles, identities, habits and location are acts of subterfuge that dim their light.

And even though so much has changed for the better, truly more than they could ever have imagined, there are times when it still feels like they’re living on a knife’s edge. And it’s tiring.

Stories around capacity, capability and money are the un-dynamic trio here - the ones that bite them on the arse. They feel rich in spirit, rich in experience, rich in wisdom but also different volumes of constriction. Sometimes they can bear it and other times it feels like things will spiral.

Because they have that emotional, spiritual and professional maturity, they’re not a babe out of the woods. The wisdom they have is because they’ve made a life devoted to leading from their gifts and I honour them for that.

And, for some time is no longer on their side as it was when they were in their 20’s and 30’s and even early 40’s. That’s the hard truth.

Some have taken a moment to take stock and recognise they are running out of time - they are running out of time to fully and completely, with gusto and no holding back live the life they’ve not only been called to live, but have promised themselves to do so.

But I have another perspective to offer regarding this concept of time.

Standing on the shoulders of all the work they have done and the impact they’ve made already, this is their golden era - a new era of sacred leadership where they are being ‘missioned up’ because ‘they have important work to do’. Some may even consider themselves in the lead up or indeed on the doorstep of eldership.

This golden era is one that up until now has insisted upon patience, on undoing, on untangling, on creating space, on remembering and reforming so that this can be their finest hour.

In their finest hour mechanistic tools and strategies are put down in the first instance and harmonic instruments of peace are prioritised, given breathing space, airtime and shared in communion with others.

Resisting being ‘missioned up’ into the important work they have to do is being in denial of the rhythm of life and pushing back on a tidal force that clearly wants them to move in the direction of this new era of sacred leadership.

It’s like Love is saying ‘get with the program’ and nothing but.

Yes it can feel uncomfortable.

Yes it can feel frustrating.

Yes it can feel exhilarating too.

And yes the unknown and the unclear can feel disorienting, frightening even.

I know because I have felt all of this.

Recently I’ve felt a shyness within me, my throat has also felt on fire, sore, and what I perceived as being closed.

Until I realised that my throat was not in fact closed.

It is wanting to become a loud speaker.

A loud speaker in service to those who have emotional, spiritual and professional maturity, who have done the work and reaped its rewards, who don’t have time on their side and have an undeniable desire to fulfil the contract they made with themselves.

A loud speaker to let them know that this is their golden era, their finest hour yet to come.

A loud speaker to remind them that discomfort is in fact hugely constructive because there is hunger here.

A loud speaker to welcome the appetite of hunger because hunger is devotional and urgency is legitimate.

A loud speaker that honours who they already are and who they are to become, that recognises that miracles upon miracles are the offspring of this union.

Sacred leadership has no prejudice or preference as to how it is applied because Love knows no bounds. Medicine, politics, law, family, money, community, business, philanthropy, the environment, AI, divorce, death, cancer, trauma, war, bankruptcy…..

Sacred leadership asks them to be the light where it does not exist or does not yet exist fully.

Sacred leadership asks them to bring new perspectives that open us rather than have us contract into fear and impossibility.

Sacred leadership asks them to create and innovate in service not only to the possibility but the reality of freedom, love, authenticity, connection, joy, peace, compassion, understanding and happiness regardless of the subject matter.

And because of their maturity this new era of sacred leadership is emboldening them to shine their light brighter than they have ever given themselves permission.

All of this recognition is homing ground to enter into a new era - a new era of sacred leadership.

This new era of sacred leadership is where the promise of a life lived with no regrets arrives because they leave no stone unturned, they courageously walk into the shadowy parts of themselves, meet their blindspots and thresholds and return it all back to love and freedom and deeper leadership.

This new era of sacred leadership now asks them to lean into the particular vulnerability of leading from their gifts, strengths and talents more so than the vulnerability of their limitations and smallness.

This new era of leadership beckons them to not cut themselves short because of doubt, wondering if their leadership will be received and because of resistance to live in the abundance of their leadership when others are currently suffering.

I am all of the people above.

As I see myself, I hold out the mirror for you.

I'm very excited to offer a new program that starts 1 May and will be held on-line in service to these people and this mission - The Sacred Leaders Group Program for 3, 6 or 9 months. In recognition of the birthing of this new program, a special 'Founding Rate' is available until 31 March.

Some of us are being missioned up because we have important work to do. Is that you?
