The next level version –
Have you ever tried to pull a big plant out of the ground?
You grip both hands around it tightly.
You pull with all your might.
Fall on your ass.
Dig the shovel around it.
Pull again.
Fall on your ass.
Get a bigger shovel.
Pull again.
Fall on your ass.
You take a little break and think.
Okay this time this fucking thing is gonna come out of here.
Fail.
You start to realize the roots of this thing are deeper than you thought.
So you ask the person next to you, can you try to get this?
They pull it out easy.
You laugh.
Of course this always happens. (You know when something won’t open or turn on, it always works when someone else does it)
There’s a few thoughts here:
1. Our roots won’t change with just trying different tools. You can hope and learn that the next tool will be the thing, but the thing is. It starts with the roots. Your roots are your beliefs. If you want the plant to rebloom you must move it to new soil. You have to be willing to do the deep work to see the massive results. To untangle those roots and see what else they are connected to. Where did these stem from and where else is this a thing in my life?
2. Transformational work ain’t a walk on the beach. It’s gonna require you to look some deep shit in the eye.
3. It’s sustainability for your biz to grow. It’ll often feel like you got sucked into a wormhole and shot back out like what. just happened.
4. It forces you to shed. New identities, new beliefs, new feelings, new everything.
5. Not everything requires force to work. What would your life experience look like with flow?
6. We aren’t meant to do it alone. We can’t see it ourselves. Someone else will open up the light for you.
It’s your responsibility to follow through on your vision.
Not just for you.
For the people you’re meant to serve.
Your being guided on this path for a reason.
Are you listening?
Are you owning your magic?
Have you embraced your power?
Or do you hold it back?
Not all healers, light workers, thought leaders, and mindset leaders wear capes and crowns.
Most of us wear sweatpants, messy buns, and t shirts from high school.
Your gifts are meant to change the world.
For so long I had held in my magic.
I followed what “made sense” and didn’t trust my intuition.
I looked for time, I looked for having all the answers.
I was convinced more time, money, strategy or clarity had to come first.
The deep inner work is crucial for the success of your business.
We all feel the highs and lows.
Doing “the work” as I like to call it is just as crucial as your marketing plans.
If not more.
It’s sustainability.
It’s your gift.
It’s your magic.
It’s a disservice if you don’t let others have it
I challenge you to listen to the nudge this week, to trust your soul. To take the leap, to believe in the calling, to put out that post, share that message, to embrace your bigger vision.
In this work, lies the next level version of you.
If you’re wondering why aren’t i “there yet”
Then it’s time you start here.
Untangling the roots.
Your people are waiting. Don’t let them wait anymore
