While out with a friend last night, we decided we wanted to find a place to dance.
The first spot we went to had us barely two stepping. It was slow and there wasn’t really any dancing vibes. We tried, but the most they were able to get out of us, movement-wise, was a trip to the bar.
The second spot featured a DJ my friend knew. A tried-and-proven vibe controller and he didn’t let either of us down. Neither of us stopped moving the whole night and couldn’t help but overflow a contagious energy to everybody else who was in our general vicinity.
Creating a split screen image in your head of us at spot #1 barely two-stepping and us at spot #2 uncontrollably expressing ourselves can illustrate beautifully the power and importance of alignment and environment.
When you’re out of alignment, you’re forced to operate at a suboptimal level. You do your best to bring the energy, raise the vibration, and express your best self—but, you’ll almost always get throttled.
When you’re in alignment, you almost can’t stop your optimal level from expressing itself. Your energy overflows uncontrollably, your vibration is pulsing perfectly, and your best version is simply doing its thing!
That said, there is an undeniable responsibility that lies in the hands of the person—it’s not 100% the environment’s job to bring out the best in you. But you better believe that environment plays a major role.
…A role worth thinking about as much as you might spend thinking about how you most want to show up in the world.
