Am I the only one who grew up fearing good news?
Like of course we want to celebrate, we want good things to happen, but also feel the fearful lingering thoughts of …
the rug being pulled from under me
the shock and surprise
the disappointment
the what-ifs
the having to explain why it didn’t all work out
the end of the fairytale
the other pin dropping…
I’ve been thinking about fears and beliefs a lot, and specifically where our programming for certain fears and beliefs come from.
I don’t think we’re meant to spend our entire lives figuring this all out, and yet, I know that there are some beliefs, thoughts, and even vows that I’ve accidentally made with life and the universe, as a way to protect myself from future harm. But that promise, that declaration, or that belief is actually causing the harm. It’s keeping me from creating something new, something expansive, and something that’s right for me.
Each time I’ve vowed…
I’ll never let people in again
There’s no good guys left
I won’t put myself out there again
Each time I’ve believed…
It’s not possible for me
It’ll be harder for me
I’ll have to do it alone…
I was wrong. Thankfully I was wrong. And we’re all able to change those vows and beliefs if we choose.
We’re able to change those beliefs if we become aware that they exist.
This is the essence of what Wisdom of the Path, my new book, is about.
It’s written in 3 parts: Where You’ve Been, Where You Are, Where You’re Going
Where You’ve Been often creates the fear that you feel Where You Are in the present, which ultimately creates limits around Where You’re Going.
But I want us to remember that we’re limitless.
No matter what we’ve been through. No matter what hardships we faced. No matter where we may’ve made mistakes. No matter what.
I share my own stories of growing and learning, that honestly have changed my life. And even with those changes, I still get scared sometimes and have to remind myself of who I am. A limitless being with the ability to create what I desire.
And this book is an invitation for you to remember who you are too. To see your fears as a part of your journey, not a blockade in the way of you moving forward.
