You're So Close ... Just Jump!
Don't tiptoe. Just jump! Seriously!
Sometimes you cannot afford yourself the opportunity to "take it slow" or "ease in" - because sometimes, the Universe is literally putting something, someone or some opportunity directly in your path because it wants to know if you're really ready for it. If you really want, what you say you want. And if you are willing to step outside your comfort zone and do, be or have it.
We often find ourselves in patterns, or routines that we have kinda settled into. They've become normalized. Even the fucked up patterns, routines or habits. The ones that we KNOW are not serving us. Yet and still, we settle into them. Why? Because its familiar. We humans like familiar. It's comfortable. While it may not be ideal, healthy or even beneficial to our bigger picture, we ease into it. Simply because we know it.
On the other hand, there is an entire WORLD of stuff we don't know. Things we have not acquired. People we have not met. Opportunities we have yet to encounter. It is in that space where all the cool shit really is. It is way outside our zone of comfort that we find ourselves really thriving, expanding and become the best possible versions of ourselves.
Do you recall a moment in your life when you didn't show up, all the way? Or your hesitated to speak to someone? Or you declined an invitation? And then immediately after, you regretted it. Even though you didn't speak to this beautiful stranger. Or accept the invitation to this awesome event. You still felt a sense of regret. Why? Because you didn't show up for yourself.
The better part of you is that tingle in your fingertips that you feel before you step outside your comfort zone. It's that part of you that tugs on you when you get an invitation to a space that you would normally say "no" to. The better part of you is connected to the Source of your power. So this part of you really, REALLLLLY wants you to stop being a punk, and just JUMP!
Sometimes, you are so close to whatever it is you really want manifesting in your life; but YOU are literally the one preventing it from showing up. YOU. No one else. Contrary to popular belief, you are the cause of your own suffering. You are the cause of your own joy as well. You get to choose which one feels better. And that's where you get to live.
Wanna know something? What's just on the other side of your "resistance" to change, what's new, what's different, what's uncertain, what's unfamiliar ... EVERYTHING ... everything you want is on the other side of that resistance.
If you can desire it you can have it!
Point blank. Simple.
You're so close. All you have to do is jump! Take a leap. Lean into faith. Trust your heart. Tell your ego to "shut up" - and just let yourself be led to the next good feeling; and stay there. It's so much cooler than stressing yourself out about the "pros" and "cons" of every single decision.
My dad once told me, "If you stay in valley of decision for too long, you will drown in a sea of possibilities" - there is no way to experience certainty, unless you choose to. Your certainty is not dictated by anyone else's opinions. Only you get to choose what is true and certain for you.
