Permission To Shine

I was with a book writing client today, and between the pair of us, we've had significant emotional events happen at different times over the last two months of working together, largely dictated by whats going on in the world right now (you never would have guessed it!).

At one point, even though he is a very successful businessman he felt like quitting on his book because of what it was bringing up to the surface. We talked it through, revised a couple of aspects and we are working in a way that serves him within the professional boundaries.

When you get that knee jerk desire to pull away when something is painful, I feel it is important to at least sit with it and look at what is going on. I had other clients feel like this, but after we were able to work through it, shift their perspective we continued and they experienced a lot of healing and growth from their experience and also were able to complete and help to expand their reader's lives.

When you feel deeply called to do something, whether its to write a book, or something entirely different, it doesn't really go away if it's meant to be, and in my experience, it only gets stronger and more powerful, pulling you towards it.

Feeling like you are not good enough or do not have enough "different" story/content to share is not true.

It's so unique as it is your story, your personality, your experiences, your voice, your heart, mind and soul that has gone into your creation.

When you start to see this and honour it - you seriously free yourself up and give yourself permission to shine!
