The Right Order is a Lie
For years I thought things like:
Once my son is bigger Iβll go bigger with my career.
Once Iβm making X amount per month, Iβll be able to finally do my writing more consistently (especially my book projects).
Once my business is more automated, Iβll be able to put the writing first.
Obviously, the above thoughts werenβt conducive to actually doing the writing work I REALLY wanted to be doing.
The sneaky thoughts kept my writing and publishing goals βout of reachβ and βat arms lengthβ until one day I finally saw it all for what it was: self-imposed limitations, and FEAR. π
Obviously, it didnβt feel great to go to sleep at night knowing that I really wanted to do something, that I was fully capable of, but just wasn't doing.
It felt like a shame, really. I was NOT utilizing my energy and my gifts properly, and it showed on my face. It was like being given a gift but never OPENING it.
What I am describing is the opposite of fulfillment.
If you've struggled with your own creative desires, you're familiar with the feeling.
It was tricky to navigate my limitations on my own.
The truth was I didn't know I was honoring the voice of fear, I just thought I was doing things in 'the right order'.
Todayβs message is short and sweet: The 'right' order is a lie.
What are your current excuses?
Why are you putting the work you really want to be doing off into the future (even as soon as tomorrow)?
Where are you telling yourself youβre not ready yet? Why?
What do you think you have to do before you can do more of what you really want to do?
Big Love,
