You know that feeling . . . when a song gets stuck in your head in a perpetual loop?
I don’t even recall where I would have heard this song recently, but there it was . . . straight from Mary Poppins!
Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a K.I.T.E.
Up to the highest height
Let’s go fly a K.I.T.E. and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a K.I.T.E.!
It got me to thinking about WHY this song was playing so loudly in my head . . . AND what was I supposed to be learning from this song? Rather than letting it drive me crazy, how could I use this in a positive way?
I started playing around with the acronym, “K.I.T.E.” — as it pertains to one’s personal and/or business mission, vision, and brand — and came up with . . .
- K = KNOWING. That inner feeling I get when I absolutely, positively KNOW I need/want to be doing “XYZ”.
- I = INTENTION. When I set my INTENTION, based upon my KNOWING, I move into ACCEPTANCE and AGREEMENT. When I set my INTENTION to move in a particular direction, it causes all other worldly forces to respond in kind.
- T = TRUST. This is a BIG ONE for me. It means I have to acknowledge my human-ness and learn to TRUST that a higher power is paving a path for me. My only job is to LET GO and follow the breadcrumbs . . .
- E = EXCITEMENT! It took me several decades to figure out it’s OK to show a bit of positive EXCITEMENT. The Universe responds to EXCITEMENT in a good way. How else does it know what I want? EXCITEMENT becomes the fuel for navigating the path . . . the more excited I am about my goals and ambitions, the faster the process seems to go! EXCITEMENT also allows me to release the outcome and let the Universe handle the details.
The “K.I.T.E.” (brand) I “send soaring” today becomes the foundation for all my tomorrows.
