Day 85 Cliffs:
What to do when you are standing at the edge of a cliff? I know that more times than not I have stepped back a few feet just to have my stomach feel a bit more comfortable. I know that at some level the fear was so great that I knew that was the best option for me. Today I really want to look at those time however that we allow fear to cause us to play small and run for safety. How many times is life do we hide our magnificence because fear tells us that we might fail at what we are choosing to embrace next. How many times will I discount the urging of my soul to take flight only to say that I have no idea how to fly?
Don't get me wrong I am not suggesting for a moment to put ourselves in danger. I am however asking us to put on our big girl and big boy pants and show up in our lives for our lives. We get to use all the courage we have gathered over the last 85 days and ask our higher selves the question. What is the highest and best for my life at this now moment and step boldly into that knowing full well that you have everything needed to fly. One of the reasons I wrote this book was the desire to see people living the life's they had on dreamed possible. The knowingness that the power that creates mountains, rainbow, waterfalls,and butterflies is working within your life at this moment to support and sustain you in the same way.
I get the question all the time. What if I look foolish, or funny doing it? You want to know what looks more foolish and funny a person who has the ability to fly walking around playing limited. The universe is here to support you in all that you do. When we understand this we begin to stand boldly on the edge of the cliff with the view in plane sight. We know that this vantage point allows us the freedom to see where we choose to go next rather than following the flock. Being a leader takes courage, and the wisdom to admin that you are afraid. I know that being the leader of a community means that each day I get to be real and say I don't know how we are going to get there, but I know we are going to get there together.
It is always a good thing to listen to our inner knowing. I have become aware that fear and anxiety are often confused. Anxiety is often what we feel before we take flight for the first time. Before we take that high dive, or jump from a plane. Yet the moment we take that next step we moves from anxiety into fulfillment. The knowledge that regardless of how I look I am actually flying. Take some time today and ask your higher self what is the next great adventure for you and pack your bags and hit the road.
I love you,
Thank you,
