The Mapmaking of Limitless Questions #limitlessnessmonth

July 10, 2023

Becoming limitless requires the mapmaking created by deliberate exploration, and that starts with limitless questions.

The Essence of Mapping Your Desires

• Reflect on your passions, desires, and aspirations, creating a personal map that highlights the areas you want to explore and conquer.

• Identify the key landmarks and milestones that align with your goals, allowing you to navigate your journey with intention and purpose.

• Continuously update and refine your map as you evolve, allowing it to serve as a guiding compass for your limitless potential.

In the quest for limitlessness it's essential to willingly embark on a journey that goes beyond the realms of daily routines and familiar territories. New frontiers and uncharted experiences are an ongoing need to ensure your professional life and your soul life both continue to evolve in an amazing and energized way. This post explores the significance of mapping your desires, identifying milestones, and refining your map as you evolve. Creating a personal map that serves as a compass will help you unlock the boundless

potential within.

Begin by reflecting on your passions, desires, and aspirations. At the core of every exploration lies a deep understanding of oneself. What inner whispers that light a fire within you. What brings you joy? What drives your enthusiasm? By delving into these questions, you can begin to sketch out the contours of your personal map.

The secret of this is to let a quiet, consistent flow of limitlessness be your guide. Approach your questions peacefully. Write them one by one in your favorite modality -- on paper, on laptop, whatever is your most absorbed and pleasurable mode.

There are those who would have you supersize it, and you can do that if that works for you -- the whole "if you had all the money in the world, what would you do?" thing. But that bombastic question can often be more than distracting, blocking you from feeling out the proper answers. Reflect quietly and give your soul a chance to speak up about what it wants the most. Remember -- you only get one of this specific life, one round of this current life-time-energy. It is up to you to make the most of it.

Use The Power of Exploration

• Embrace the mindset of an explorer, allowing yourself to venture into uncharted territories of your life with curiosity and openness.

• Uncover new possibilities and potential by stepping outside your comfort zone and challenging self-imposed limitations.

• Embrace the unknown as an opportunity for growth and transformation, treating every experience as a chance to map unexplored territories.

Just as cartographers draw lines on paper to represent physical landscapes, you can create a personal map that vividly highlights the areas you want to explore and conquer. This map will serve as a tangible representation of your dreams and aspirations, a guidepost to your taking on of the journey of limitlessness.

Begin to surface through imagination and visioning the key landmarks and milestones that align with your goals. These landmarks can be specific achievements or significant events that are the resting points along your journey. By defining these milestones, you create a sense of direction and inquiry that helps you unlock the true limitlessness within you.

Then realize they are POSSIBLE. IF you are willing to put energy, intention, and surrender around them, you can do it. Others have done so, and so can you. Embrace the mindset of an explorer. By venturing into uncharted territories of your life with curiosity and openness, you unlock the transformative power of exploration.

Be willing to step into the unknown, leaving behind, for a time, what is familiar. As you do so more and more, you create the space and skill to hold container for serendipity and unforeseen opportunities to enter your life. Walk willingly into the unfamiliar, for it holds the potential to reveal new dimensions of your being.

Embrace the Journey of the Map

• Emphasize the importance of the journey itself, savoring each step as an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth.

• Embrace detours and unexpected twists as valuable experiences that contribute to the richness of your map.

• Celebrate every milestone and accomplishment along the way, acknowledging the progress you've made and the new landscapes you've charted.

In the pursuit of mapping new territories, it is essential to emphasize the significance of the journey itself. While reaching the destination may be a goal, it is the journey that holds the true essence of growth and transformation. Each step along the way provides an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth that feeds back into your professional and soul-spirit growth. By embracing this perspective, you shift your focus from mere outcomes to the richness of the present moment.

Every experience, whether big or small, good or challenging, presents a chance to learn more about yourself, your strengths, and your values. Celebrate the moments of self-awareness and the lessons learned, for they shape the person you are becoming.

Along your path of exploration, you are bound to encounter detours and unexpected twists. Rather than viewing these as disruptions, embrace them as valuable experiences that contribute to the richness of your map. Detours provide opportunities to navigate unanticipated challenges, adapt, and discover alternative routes. These unexpected twists often lead to new insights, unforeseen connections, and serendipitous encounters that can significantly impact your journey. Embrace the unpredictability, for it adds depth and dimension to your map of experiences.

Why Limitlessness? Why Me? Why Now?

It is KEY to put a deliberate focus on limitlessness for the high-performing professional. For you, specifically. In the moment. NOW. Why?

Much of high-performance professional life consists literally of sleepwalking. Doing the same actions, day over day, week over week, year over year. If you're lucky, you get a week or two of vacation to "do something different, be someone else". If you're lucky, you actually get to take it -- and not have to dial in to work while you're on your time off.

That's not enough for the true depth of limitlessness to begin to emerge. There's an intensity around work's year in, year out reinforcement of sameness that takes TIME to heal and grow away from. Make your map. Take your stand. Hold your sovereignty. Begin to reach for the truth of your own limitlessness. You owe it to yourself, and to the world.

Deepening Practice: Creating Your Personal Map

If you're reading this, you have already been called to explore and embody your limitlessness through making your personal map.

For your deepening practice today, consider how, why, and where you most want to be and feel limitless.

• Set up a quiet time and space to consider, reflect, and explore your thoughts. Put on your favorite music, or maybe some shamanic drum tracks, or the sound of rain falling or ocean waves. Really give yourself this time, space, and container for this.

• Have pencil and paper, or laptop, whatever your favorite modality is.

• Consider where you most wish to be, feel, and experience your own limitlessness. It can be personal, professional, in any area of your life. Remember that all areas are really simply YOU, expressing, embodying, standing-for and impacting the world.

• Ask. Limitless. Questions. Stand in neutrality, opening to any question that comes to you.

• What limits that you've long believed in about yourself, now call you to break free?

• Where do you KNOW you are more than you're being?

• Where in your life is there so much more waiting for you?

• Does it feel juicy and energizing to move into this future?

• What identity do you need to be to begin to walk into this place?

• What will you lose if you do not reach for limitlessness? What will you trade off for, never to have in your life? Is it worth it?

• How can you now commit to embody and bring into being experiences on your map, such that you explore freely and grow from it?

Consider that your life is LIFE. There is no division between personal and professional -- it is all one life-time-energy flow. It is YOU and how you express in the world. Whether sleeping or waking, whether at home, work, dialing into that intense project or freeing yourself afterwards with a long 5-mile run, it's all your embodiment of what you stand for in the world. So, do you stand for limits, or limitlessness?

Do you want to launch a fresh new career that no longer ties you to 9-to-5 work? Do you want to dig deeper into the authority that lets you make a bigger impact, no matter what the framework whether corporate or entrepreneurial? What does how you handle your life, signal to others about their potential limitlessness as well?

Reach for limitlessness in small consistent ways today. Make your map, then walk it with commitment and intention. Allow your imagination to soar as you visualize the territories you wish to navigate and the experiences you long to have.
