How bad do you want it?
Happy Wednesday!
How do you know if something (or someone) is worth going for?
Maybe it’s the decision to go on a second date with someone.
Or to take the leap of faith and finally get engaged… or break up… or tell someone how you really feel.
If you’re in my world, chances are high the you tend to do things differently than most people.
You’re intuitive and sometimes those intuitive nudges don’t always make sense.
It can feel scary-will they judge me if I do this? Don’t do this? What will people say?
Who am I?
All this, right?
I was listening to the fabulous Seth Godin on a podcast the other day and he posed a question that made me think twice.
I’d love to pose that same question to you today, especially if you are wrestling with whether or no to go for something.
Check this out:
i am open to receiving support
Last week, I led an in-person Goddess Circle in Arizona and it blew my mind.
I learned what it means to truly trust that it’s safe to ask for help and that it didn’t mean I was any less of a leader because I needed assistance.
Long story short, my back totally went out, like the day before I was scheduled to teach.
And ironically, the name of the class was “Aligning with your Divine Purpose!”
Seriously, the Universe has a sense of humor.
I was hunched over at a 90 degree angle like an old lady totally misaligned and I didn’t know how I would make it there but I just knew in my belly, I had to show up, regardless of the state I was in physically.
I said a hurried prayer and just said to myself, “I’m going to be open to receiving support. It will be okay.”
And I kid you not, once I fully, fully, FULLY surrendered it all, I was at a stop light about 10 min away from the event space.
1) I get a text: “Hey, I got here early (my friend who signed up). Want me to give you Reiki before you go on? I can also help with the chairs.”
I’m open to receiving support.
2) I walk into the space and within 5 minutes, another two Goddesses show up early. One of them offers me half her gourmet sandwich (she thought I might be hungry) and offered to help put out the altar and the chocolates and grapes I brought.
I’m open to receiving support.
I didn’t try to “be strong.” I openly shared with everyone that I was uncomfortable but that I was so excited to be there because teaching and sharing IS my Divine Purpose.
And as the night went on, I felt such a softening in our group-sharing was happening, Truths were being told and ideas were being explored in a safe container.
I realized, when you aren’t trying to be invincible, you just get to BE.
And that is a much more aligned place to come from as a leader and in the Highest Goddess version of yourself.
I felt a weight release near my sacrum and to my amazement, by the end of the evening, I was able to straighten up more than I had in the past 2 days!
3) After the event, I received another invite to have energy work done on my back and the energy was buzzing with love and sparkly energy that comes when there is Flow.
I’m open to receiving support.
I realize how much we try to do this thing called Life believing that we aren’t worthy of support.
And how liberating it is to finally drop that.
I’m so grateful for this experience and I invite you to reflect on where in your life you have been trying to pretend you don’t need help?
Where could assistance support your Path?
Have an amazing week!
