You only have 4,000 weeks on this earth (I've used 1,600)
Sat Nam loves, Myrah here
I had one of those moments yesterday. You know the ones – where time suddenly feels both infinite and terrifyingly finite all at once.
I was scrolling through old photos of my kids, and there was my daughter at 3, covered in finger paint, creating her "masterpiece" on our kitchen wall. I remember being so stressed about the mess, about the schedule, about getting to that client call on time.
Now she's 8 going on 16, and I'd give anything to have her paint my walls again.
Here's the truth that hit me like a cosmic 2x4: The average person gets about 4,000 weeks on this earth. I've already lived through about 1,800 of them.
Gone. Forever.
And how many of those weeks did I spend saying "someday"?
-
Someday I'll start that creative project
-
Someday I'll take that trip with the kids
-
Someday I'll launch that sustainable business idea
-
Someday I'll prioritize my own dreams
Loves, someday is not a day of the week.
The 5 Shifts That Changed Everything
After my wake-up call, I discovered 5 strategies that transformed me from a "someday" person into someone who actually makes things happen.
And with Mercury going direct this week and the powerful Lion's Gate energy still flowing, this feels like the perfect time to share them with you.
1. Align Your Money to Match Your Soul's Calling
Stop chasing the next milestone thinking it'll fix your misalignment. I spent years building a business that looked successful on paper but felt empty in my heart.
Try this: Write down what your 8-year-old self dreamed of doing. Now write what your 80-year-old self would regret not trying. The intersection? That's your North Star.
2. Make Decisions Like the Intuitive Entrepreneur You Are
Most decisions aren't permanent – they're just doors. And honey, most doors swing both ways.
That creative project you're scared to start? That's a two-way door. You can always pivot. But staying stuck in analysis paralysis? That's the real risk.
3. Protect Your Energy Like Your Most Sacred Resource
You manage your money, your time, but what about your energy?
I realized that complaining drained me.
Doom-scrolling drained me.
Being around judgmental people drained me.
But creating? Deep conversations with my kids? Learning something new? That filled my cup to overflowing.
Energy audit time: What gives you life? What steals it? Start there.
4. Slow Down Time (Yes, Really)
Remember when summer felt endless as a kid? That's because everything was new. Your brain was constantly recording fresh experiences.
Adult life on autopilot makes years disappear. But novelty? Novelty stretches time.
This week: Take a different route to school pickup. Try that new sustainable café. Have a conversation with someone who doesn't look like your usual circle. Watch how time expands.
5. Honor Both Your Inner Child AND Your Future Self
Every decision I make now, I run through this filter: Would my 8-year-old self be proud that I'm chasing this dream? Would my 80-year-old self be grateful I took this risk?
When both can look at you with pride, you know you're living aligned.
Your Lion's Gate Integration Ritual
Since we're still in the powerful Lion's Gate portal energy (perfect timing, Universe!), here's a simple ritual to integrate these shifts:
Tonight, under the waning moon:
-
Light a candle (bonus points if it's sustainably made
-
Write down one "someday" dream you're ready to make "today"
-
Ask yourself: "What's the smallest step I can take this week?"
-
Burn the paper, releasing the energy of delay
-
Take that first step within 48 hours
Here's what I know to be true: You didn't come here to play small. You didn't incarnate in this lifetime to wait for permission or perfect conditions.
Your kids are watching. Your community needs what you have to offer. The world is literally waiting for your unique magic.
And mama, you don't have 4,000 weeks to figure it out. None of us do.
What's one "someday" you're ready to make "today"? Hit reply and tell me. I read every single response, and I'm cheering you on.
With love and Lions Gate Urgency.
