“When you entered this world, you cried while the universe celebrated. Live so that when you depart, the universe mourns and you celebrate.” — Indian Proverb
During my childhood, my family would embark on vacations that lasted several weeks. Unlike most families, we traveled in a compact single-engine plane rather than a station wagon.
It’s worth noting that at 10,000 feet, there are no convenient rest stops! My father and brothers all held pilot licenses and mastered the art of navigation through triangulation, using known points to determine our destination.
Though I never aspired to be a pilot, it struck me one day that I could apply this same triangulation principle to enhance my own life’s balance and focus.
The Three Sides of Your Life Triangle
When assessing your life, envision it as a triangle composed of three sides:
Let’s delve into each aspect of this triangle:

Mind/Ego — Your intellect is a powerful asset, yet it can dominate your existence. When this occurs, your ego takes over, amplifying negative thoughts about your life. Allowing the ego's fear-driven messages to influence you leads to a life filled with anxiety, doubt, and instability. Physical signs of this takeover include tension, stress, and a sense of fear.
Heart/Spirit — The heart communicates in a language distinct from the mind and ego. Unfortunately, we often neglect to heed its voice, even though it plays a crucial role in our life journey. If you feel stagnant or off course, it’s vital to reconnect with your heart.
Divine Love — This is the fundamental element that supports both the Mind/Ego and Heart/Spirit. Divine Love is the essence of existence, transcending all boundaries.
Remember: You were created from Divine Love, and even your DNA reflects this essence. You don’t need to earn this love; your mere existence is evidence of it.
Signs of Misalignment
When you find yourself out of alignment, various issues arise:
- Your body reacts negatively, leaving you feeling unsettled.
- Your thoughts race uncontrollably.
- You feel detached from your true self.
In the past, you may have found yourself isolated and disheartened, questioning how you reached such a low point. The underlying issue is often a misalignment in your triangulation, causing you to drift from your intended destination.
However, you can regain your balance.
Recognizing the Impact of Guidance
Notice what transpires when your life is predominantly guided by the mind/ego:

Observe how the foundation is lacking support. When Divine Love is absent, it becomes evident.
The same applies when your life is directed solely by the heart/spirit:

Without the solid foundation of Divine Love, your actions may seem noble, but they can lead to chaos.
Realigning Your Life: The Three C’s
To restore your alignment, focus on the three C’s: Connect, Communicate, and Create.
Connect — By connecting with Divine Love, you can both offer and receive guidance from a higher perspective. This connection allows you to remain unaffected by external circumstances.
How to Connect: Meditation is a powerful tool embraced by billions. It quiets the mind and opens the heart to the larger source — Divine Love. If you're new to meditation, consider joining my course, “21 Day Heart Dancing Challenge,” which offers daily meditations to help you cultivate this connection.
Communicate — Engage in dialogue with Divine Love, expressing gratitude for its guidance. The ego plays a role, but it should serve as a tool rather than your guide. This communication transforms doubt into certainty, fear into passion, and anxiety into clarity.
How to Communicate: Throughout your day, pause to check in with yourself. Breathe deeply and ask Divine Love, “What do you wish for me to understand?” Be patient and listen for the loving voice that will emerge.
Create — You are no longer solitary in your endeavors; Divine Love becomes your co-creator. You don’t have to navigate every challenge alone. What appears to be a setback may open doors to greater opportunities.
How to Create: Before embarking on a new project or responding to a difficult email, take a moment to seek guidance from Divine Love. Allow this infinite power to influence your daily life, and observe the transformation that occurs. This article was inspired by a request for assistance from Divine Love.
Summary
To effectively triangulate your life, ensure that your Mind/Ego is balanced by your Heart/Spirit, all while being anchored in Divine Love.
When you find yourself misaligned, it indicates a lack of connection with Divine Love.
By connecting, communicating, and creating, you can realign the components of your life. When your mind and heart are guided by Divine Love, your existence shifts from fear to love, establishing a firm foundation for your life.
To reinforce this mindset, repeat the mantra:
I am you. You are me. We are one. All is well.
