When people speak in code, it is because they do not want others to know what they are talking about. That is one aspect of code.
There is another aspect of code that often comes up in self help books or conversations when people talking about finding their life's purpose as if they have to break a code to find out what it is. But our life purpose is whatever we say it is.
Years ago, a friend of mine was working as a manager in a large popular bookstore. This was in the 90s, when the Internet was new and computers were becoming more widespread in workplaces.
Her curiosity led her to read books that taught her how to write computer code. Then she got a job writing code, and I remember her amazement at how different it was to work that way and how much more money she was making than when she worked at the bookstore. And she learned other skills and got raises and promotions and created a successful career path for herself.
So in another aspect, she was rewriting her own code for her life. I would say that she did not discover her path as much as create it. A change that big brings all kinds of changes, not just in work or income, but also the people in your life, and maybe changes in what a person does for their health.
A former client of mine had desires to be in the chef business, so for a few years, he and his wife operated a food truck. Then they sold the truck, moved far away and launched a chef business more along the lines of catering. So did he discover his path or create it? Did he rewrite his code?
I began my career as a professional writer and editor, and later on, a creative writing teacher for adults. As a writer, I was always going out to meet and interview a variety of psychics, healers, authors, musicians, artists, and others and that is how I learned about all this stuff. So when I transitioned from being a professional writer to being a healer, I rewrote my code.
Writing your own code for some people means posting their art, books or music for sale on the web while they still have another job to see what kind of response they get and then grow into a full time career change.
Rewriting your code is what you do when you are fired up about what you do or want to do. If we do not have a burning desire to make a change yet, we will find it through curiosity when we discover something new and want to learn more.
You see, it is about following your feelings. It is not about discovering some secret code. Where our thoughts go, our energy goes. So whatever your dream is, it is a conscious choice to rewrite your code.
We do not have to break some code to find our best path. We just have to write some new code. When our thoughts and feelings are in alignment that is when we make our greatest progress.
I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
Have a wonderful day!
