Two years ago exactly, I sent my final draft of my book to my publisher to be sent to print.
I don’t think a single person in my life expected me to write a book, and frankly I didn’t until I started writing it in 2017.
When the book was published in Dec 2019, I was running a business (and I still am), creating my first FREE online course that launched in January 2020 as an offering for my book – The Art of Transformation: A Daily Guide to Uplift Your Life.
I was also preparing for my Yoga retreat in February and was planning to go on a book tour in the spring of 2020, after some personal travel with my daughter.
The book tour never happened, nor did the personal travel as we all know what March 2020 looked like.
But as I’ve worked non-stop to keep my business afloat the last 20 months I’m remembering my dreams again, and my plans that fell apart. I’m reminded that just because life can get sidetracked it doesn’t mean that those dreams stop.
What dreams have you put ‘to the side’, waiting for the right moment, person, opportunity, or whatever else you’re waiting for to happen?
Why does there have to be a right time? Because there never is.
Maybe you’ve had some insights about yourself and the direction of your life this last 20 months, and you’re still waiting for the right time?
There’s never a good time to do what scares you.
I worked really hard to get my book to print, while I was working full time and raising a child solo. There never was a window of opportunity or space in my life, I made the window and opened it myself.
You have this one life, and things might slow you down, but don’t let the pace of things discourage you from following your dreams, no matter how small or big they may seem.
As we’re entering into life again, what have you realized is no longer OK to hide or avoid?
What part of you is screaming to be seen? As we venture towards 2022 I encourage you to follow your heart in a way that’s felt unattainable in the past. To become your own personal cheerleader, push yourself to do the thing you’re most intimidated or scared to do.
Why are you waiting? What excuses are swallowing up your dreams? What fantasy’s are you ready to make reality?
Don’t treat your dreams like a hoarder would, hiding them in your house and allowing them to swallow up all livable space. Give yourself permission to move towards your wildest dreams cleanse your house and your life, so you don’t feel like a part of you has been unlived.
No one is going to make it happen for you, absolutely no one. You’re the one you’ve been waiting for.
As one of my favorite woman and kick ass creator of her life say’s – The world needs that special gift that only you have. ~ Marie Forleo.
