“Do one thing every day that scares you.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm sure you have heard this before. It's one of my fav quotes, and it holds so much possibility and space. I just made a new choice, a choice that, as I looked at it, pushed all my triggers! A lot of 'OMG! I cannot do this! I cannot afford this! It blows my budget!' All that small-ing stuff! I have been running my business on my own, with the creation of my art and also website building, social media, marketing, art fairs, applying to shows/competitions, etc. A long list. I've been looking at hiring help for a looooooooooong time, sitting on the fence with it. Yes. No. Yes. Not yet. Maybe. Hmm. No. Yes?
We all have all kinds of limitations, caps, in and on our lives, many of them are not ours, others might be ours or adopted by us, all means to hold us in a tight reality and validate our upgrowing or general points of view that are serving only one purpose: validating this reality of impossibility.
After another wrestling round with my own personal 'Beastie' (I love calling her that way, as I don't have to condemn her but can be grateful for the 'protection' she provided for me during these times when I didn't have the tools yet that I have today🥰), I threw the mesh of points of view over board and chose something new (and actually exciting) ✨
We will never know and find out what is possible for us to create when we listen to fear or doubt and keep choosing that. This can be like torturing ourselves, especially for those among us that have great creative capacities and also came here to create something new and inspiring. Something new was never created by those who listened to their fears, but by those who trusted their own true North and listened to their hearts.
It requires courage, the willingness to fail and, at times, standing alone. The 'standing alone', though, is only for a short 'moment', an intersection in the tapestry, where we choose new threads, new colors, where the entire universe realigns in a new way to support us with our new choices, where everything is so quiet.
What to do?
- Breathe through this intersection.
- Keep standing.
- Be patient with you.
- Nourish your body. (it's going through changes too!)
- Never give up.
- Know with your heart that your dreams have great value.
- Feel the earth underneath your feet, and
- you will find that you are not and have never been alone.
Cheering us on, on this magical, aggravating, beautiful, challenging, wondrous and miraculous journey.
