The Measure of Alignment
Affirmation: Peace is my compass. Integrity is my path.
But when does that measurement begin?
Is it at the moment of the decision?
Or in the process that leads to it?
Or in the unfolding that follows?
I’ve been walking with this question lately.
Especially when I hear someone say, “I made the right decision.”
Often, they’re speaking of love.
Of choosing a partner.
Of finding happiness.
But then they add, “The process was messy.”
Cheating. Betrayal. Hiding.
So I ask: If the union is happy, does it make you a better human being?
Is it in alignment?
It’s the same with the dream job.
You get it. You’re thriving.
But the path there was dodgy—manipulation, omission, stepping over someone else’s truth.
Is that in alignment?
Beyond Judgement, Beyond Ego
I’m not asking these questions to judge.
I’m asking to understand.
To strip away ego and performance.
To sit with the soul of the choice.
Because alignment, to me, is not just about outcome.
It’s about process.
It’s about peace.
The Quiet Questions
So I’ve begun asking myself:
• How much peace does this bring into my life?
• Am I proud of myself—not just for what I chose, but how I chose it?
• Did I honor my values, even when it was hard?
• Did I become more honest, more whole, more human in the process?
These questions don’t always have easy answers.
Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable.
Sometimes the peace comes after the storm.
But I’ve learned that alignment isn’t just about what I gain.
It’s about who I become.
The Becoming
To be in alignment is to be in integrity—with Self.
It’s not perfection.
It’s not performance.
It’s presence.
It’s the quiet knowing: I walked this path with truth. I chose with clarity. I stayed close to my values, even when no one was watching.
And if I didn’t?
Then the invitation is not shame.
It’s reflection.
It’s realignment.
Because the measure of alignment begins not at the end, but in the becoming.
Peace and Blessings
