Today I was afraid: Afraid of my potential, afraid of stepping into my true passion for how I want to serve during this time on the planet. I don't know where the fear comes from or why I am so afraid of it. Perhaps because my dreams are so close to my own heart.
I got really, really tired of this fear today. So I made a choice. I chose to take some steps TODAY to get over my own gigantic road block to my own success. I got out of my head and into action.
The path to achieving goals? DO. Just do something. One thing on your list or in your head.
My first step was to start my kundalini yoga practice to unblock my root chakra. That's the chakra that allows us to be grounded in reality so our dreams can manifest in real life.
When I finished my practice, this bubbling of anger boiled up in me. That's not something I usually feel. I figured it related to stirring up my energy and possibly awakening some energy channels. I just took notice of it while, ironically, driving to the park with my daughter on such a beautiful day.
What unfolded made more sense than I could have imagined. I didn't know what to expect when I started the chain of events from my yoga practice. Somehow, I became more open to receiving support to achieve my goals.
The support showed up.
I met another mother at a coffee shop who recently launched her own product in Whole Foods and other markets. We chatted and she invited me to join a women's networking group to support my own business launch.
At the park, I met with good, good friends I've know for years. We've talked for years about our dreams and plans for the future. This time around, our conversation was different. Our passions were clear to us and we committed to keep one another on track to reach our goals. We've got a check-in set for two weeks.
Tonight, another friend who's started The World's Biggest Dream Board posted my dream on her Facebook page. She's got people lined up to help me with my goal when I am ready.
It may not seem like much, but to me, it's an affirmation that when you set an intention, and are open to what will show up in life, BAM! there it is, waiting for you, until you are ready.
I'll just end with one of my favorite quote's from Rilke's Fear of the Inexplicable.
How should we be able to forget those
ancient myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into
princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps
everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless
that wants help from us. ~ Ranier Marie Rilke
