I could talk about business all day. I loved strategy, marketing, systems, solving problems and helping people see the next steps in front of them. For a time I even built my identity around being a psychic business mentor.
I was capable at the work, and I had experiences of professional success. Yet I kept noticing a difference between being good at what I was doing and feeling at peace within it. I could spend an entire day giving so much to other people and still feel as though some important part of me was missing.
My understanding of my gifts changed the question.
Through developing my Soul Alignment Blueprint, I came to understand my first gift as Love and my second gift as Power. In the language of my method, the first gift is the Super Power meant to lead; other gifts offer skills, expression and life lessons, but they do not all play the same role.
For me, Power could help me teach, organize, mentor and build. Love reminded me why I cared so deeply about connection, family, belonging, self-acceptance and helping people see themselves. When I tried to lead with performance and results alone, I felt a kind of strain. When I returned to love as my starting point, the work felt more sincere to me.
I did not need to stop being good at business. I needed to stop putting the business ahead of the love that made me want to build it.
What it means to BE Alohi
My original BEing Alohi work grew from asking how people recognize and practice their gifts in real life. The eight gifts in my framework are Compassion, Love, Order, Creativity, Expression, Truth, Wisdom and Power. I teach their meaning as part of my personal spiritual method, not as a scientific personality test.
I want people to be curious about whether what they do brilliantly also reflects what they genuinely value. A woman can have talent, clients and experience and still want to reconsider the way she is living.
You do not have to share my spiritual worldview to reflect on that question. Where are you operating through obligation or performance, and what part of yourself is asking to lead?
What about your own story?
What are you excellent at, and what actually brings you the deepest sense of purpose and connection?
You can sit with the question, journal about it or bring it to a conversation. Nothing needs to be purchased to begin.
