Your stories are keeping you playing small

I used to think that if I wanted to become THAT person over there, who was successful in a particular way, or had a million dollar income, their dream man, didn't get rattled under pressure, always had everything turn out right for them, was totally chilled out with life and had a deep sense of happiness...that if I wanted to BE that person, I had to become someone totally different.

That a lot of it just wasn't written in the stars or that I'd been dealt a totally different hand of cards and it just wasn't for me.

That the bits that might be possible would be hard work and sacrifice; I'd have to become someone I wasn't.

And I realised I had some pretty deep beliefs about what each of those things looked like and felt like and what they said about the people who had them; and what they said about me.

You see, we connect WHOLE STORIES to these things. Think about it: when you see someone driving your dream car, what automatically goes through your mind? How does your body feel in that moment?

When you see a happy couple having a great time, what goes through your mind? How does your body feel?

When you think about having $100,000 in your bank account, or $1,000,000 in income, what are the first thoughts that go through your head? And what is your body telling you?

I used to straight away think "that's not for me"; "only people born into certain types of families get that"; "I'll never have that"; "I could never achieve that".

I was VERY good at keeping myself in a prison of my own making; of my own doing.

And it really sucks to feel that way - because with that came this sense of being let down; of disappointment at a really deep level; and of disconnection.

And the funny thing is, NOW, I realise as I type this, that I thought that those feelings were because I was disappointed that those things just weren't for me and that was a downer.

But the REAL disappointment, those feelings in your body, are really all about the fact that YOU HAVE GIVEN UP ON YOURSELF.

You have chosen to close the doors on so many possibilities in your life.

You have chosen to see certain things as DONE. And not in a good way. Not in a way that makes your heart sing or reinforces how amazing you are.

Because our dreams are given to us for a reason.

We came to this earth to EXPAND INTO POSSIBILITY.

EVERYTHING that was once impossible that we have today was laughed at, ridiculed, even completely ruined - sometimes the invention itself, the goal, and sometimes the person.

You know, like witches being burned at the stake.

Just for EXISTING and BELIEVING, people have been more than criticised, and that's a scary thing.

But those people are the ones who inspire us, who become our heroes and idols.

They're the ones whose books we read, and social media we follow, and talk about and try to emulate and figure out what formula they follow for their success.

And it's so hard to pinpoint because it's so different from one person to another, and the circumstances they faced were different, and their family, and their education, and this and that....

Yet it's really quite simple:

They BELIEVED it was possible.

They BELIEVED they could do it or at least give it a whole-hearted shot.

They followed their heart; their soul; their bliss.

Their appetite was not for food, but for the feelings of deep satisfaction in believing in themselves no matter what; in feeling that amazing sense of connection to something bigger by doing their thing; by thriving on the challenges that came in their way.

And THAT becomes their way of life.

It's about pursuing their purpose and passion and sacrificing whatever it takes to achieve that - although in my experience with my business, it's the IDEA of what you have to sacrifice that is scariest because it doesn't always come to losing those things. But you will lose other things along the way.

It's about being prepared to stand out because so many people are just going through the motions of life and getting by and some of them are wondering what's wrong with this life?

It's about realising there is a WHOLE WORLD OF POSSIBILITY that is open to you if you were only to open your goddamn eyes to every amazing sunrise and sunset and every moment in between that was created and given to you as a gift to do with as you please -

That you are just as CAPABLE and WORTHY of being whoever the hell you want to be -

That you can be that person who inspires others by living life your way -

That you CHOOSE who you are, how you live, what you do, and everything that comes into your life.

That YOU are the most powerful creator in your life; that it's YOU who makes the rules around how you live and that it's YOU who decides to step out of the cage you've been living in and just FLY.

It's why those posts about cats sitting in cages with the door closed but the top open are so poignant - because whether we realise it or not consciously, we all do that to ourselves at some point in our lives.

We all hold ourselves back from what is possible if we only thought outside the box.

If you only spent 20 minutes each day tuning in to within and then did that and just decided to BE that person.

If you only acted on the belief that what you really desire IS possible, even if you don't see it yet.

If you only saw a world full of possibilities and success stories rather than restrictions and borders and boundaries and differences.

So I'm launching 14 days of Feel Your Way to Flow starting on July 20. That's 14 daily promopts to get you thinking outside the box, getting in touch with what you REALLY want in your life, and empowering yourself to go for it!
