You are the one standing in your own way

What do you need to hear to give yourself permission to go for it?

To step into the life of your dreams.

The one your soul yearns for.

Why can’t it be you?

Maybe you feel that spark of inspiration when you travel somewhere, see someone living their full time passion, romanticizing their life, embodying a certain radiant confidence.

“I wish that could be me.”

You find yourself saying.

Damn right it can be you.

It’s not going to be a comfortable path but trust that you have the power and strength to do this walk.

It’s tempting to assume that they arrived where they are now with ease. That they were born talented, confident, or surrounded by a large community.

What you usually don’t see is the behind the scenes work it took to get there. The countless nights slipping into pits of despair and self doubt. A lifetime of facing the paralyzing fear of the unknown, the self sabotaging shadow, and overcoming shame.

To take step after step in living a life of freedom and authentic expression means to take risks and leave the comforts / confines of what once was home in the name of self love and honouring this life we are given.

No one is going to give you this life. You need to give yourself this gift.

So can you get out of your own way? Can you let go of the chains that tether you to the pain of the past? Can you make peace with the guilt they impose on you and that you will even internalize as your own?

Can you do this with love?

If you need a “selfless” reason to be happy:

Choosing to love yourself is the greatest gift you can give to the world.

When you allow yourself to be love, the radiance and peace you feel will overflow onto the world around you. Nourishing and inspiring people in the same way you are inspired by others on your own journey.

So get out of your own way.

Live. Fully.
