William was learning what to consciously say ‘yes’ to and ‘no’ to. He was creating healthy boundaries in his life. For example, his family time was sacred and he intended it to stay that way. He was learning more and more to trust his intuition and go with it, even when it made no logical sense. In fact, especially when it made no logical sense. His intuition was his servant, his guide and his manifestor. His values enabled him to consciously stay on course and help him in times of challenge and joy, for that matter. William was no longer restless from frustration and stress, he now had a purpose, a vision to bring about transformation – this was a new kind of restlessness and one that drove him in a very positive way.
He felt alive, excited and energised and this new restless feeling was now his driver. He felt he had found his calling
