Helping You Untangle Your Web of Ideas-Creative Chaos: Free Call

by

Over the last few weeks I had this insatiable desire to tell anyone and everyone I know to do more of what they love.

In fact, there have been many posts on Facebook and Twitter that might sound a bit bossy, but what I am really feeling is pure passion.

Passion for what?

For you and your gifts and your dreams and your passion and purpose and desires.

Why?

Because I know you can do it.

How do I know?

Because I am doing it and so are thousands of others in the world including some amazing women I am working with currently.

But how can I be so sure when I don’t even know you?

Because I know that if you have a desire and a dream it’s for a reason and that reason is not so you can daydream about it all your life.  It’s so you can get out into the world and share your art, songs, message, writing, craft, healing work, energy, and whatever other gifts you have to share.

So what is this?

This is a call to action!  Those beautiful, amazing, unique gifts that only you can share with the world because you are the only person on the planet with the view, experience, and past you have…yeah those gifts are meant to be shared.

It’s time to let go of the fear and start doing more of what you love.  It doesn’t matter if it is writing, singing, acting, knitting, sewing, stamping, running, teaching, loving, healing, helping, serving, dancing, collecting, volunteering etc.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it all or if it is has always been simply a ‘pipe dream’.  It’s YOUR dream so it’s real and magnificent and totally possible.

The truth is this:  Life is short and as a whole we spend far too much time wishing, wanting, and regretting things that we can do right now.

Lately I have been hearing from readers, clients, and friends that they just have so many ideas they don’t know where to start or how to focus.  I completely understand.  The creative mind is a beautiful thing, but it has it’s fair share of struggle when you feel paralyzed by all the amazing ideas and dreams you have.  It can be hard to focus and take action on any of them!

If you are finding yourself in a state of paralysis and overwhelm because you have so many incredible dreams you want to tackle, I have good news for you.

Later this month I am hosting a FREE call that will help you untangle your web of ideas so you have a bit more clarity and focus to get you moving, creating, and doing more of what you love not when the stars align and everything is perfect, but RIGHT NOW!

I will be sending out the details of the call soon, so make sure you sign up here so you don’t miss a beat.  The call will be recorded and sent to those who have signed up along with a free gift and a worksheet of exercises to help you get focused and moving in the right direction.  Do you know someone who could benefit from this information?  Feel free to forward this post and share it far and wide!

Inspiration From Monsters and Cavemen…Who Knew?!

by

Generally my family and I implement “family movie night” at least once a week as a way to relax and regroup after a long week.  This week we had a bit of a movie marathon and watched Monster University and The Croods, both of which I highly recommend (especially if you have children).  For the most part, family movie night is a chance to get away from whatever may be on my mind from the week before, yet there are times when the movies hit a chord within me so strongly that it sends my mind into a flutter of inspiration.

This Saturday was one of those nights.

Inspiration #1

While watching Monster University I was inspired by the message that we can each use our unique gifts and perspectives to do similar work and it is our unique experiences that make that work not only different, but amazing.

What does that really mean?

Regardless of how many people we feel are doing exactly the same thing that we want to do (only in our mind much better), we each bring our own set of talents, gifts, and experiences to the table.  No one else is better or worse than us, they are just different and different is ok.  In fact, it’s better than ok, it’s great!  Different means we can extend our reach to a group of people others can’t reach simply because of who we are.

This comes up a lot with my clients.  So many people, (myself included) view what other people are doing in the same genre as ourselves as doing it bigger and better that we find ourselves comparing apples to oranges.  Sure you can have two writers who have a similar style, but the truth is each is unique and amazing in their own way.  The same goes for two business owners, coaches, stylists, or whatever your dream might entail. Don’t let the success of another put a damper on your amazing gift.

YOU have a gift that can reach people that the other person can’t, so stand in your power and celebrate the wonderful things you bring to the table!

So the next time you start questioning your dream because you feel like you couldn’t possibly live up to someone you believe is doing it better, remember the little lesson from Monster University.  Better yet, watch the movie and see if you experience the same inspiration I did.

Inspiration #2

I expected the next movie to be more entertaining than insightful, but I couldn’t help but notice some interesting themes.

The first theme is one I have heard and dealt with several times in my lifetime.  Fear of the unknown.  When we fear what we do not know and allow it to stop us from stepping outside of our comfort zone, we become caged birds (or in this case caged cavemen).  We become too fearful of taking risks that we don’t really live and experience the precious gift of life.

One quote that stood out to me came from the teenage daughter as she was talking about her dad’s philosophy on staying safe:

“That wasn’t living!  That was just…not dying!  There’s a difference!”

How many of us have lived in this way before?  Merely surviving a life that may be uncomfortable and not all that great, but too fearful of what could go wrong in the future to take that step to do something bigger.

Surviving isn’t thriving.  Living a life with your dreams tucked down in your soul never to see the light of day isn’t living life to it’s fullest and I assure you it is not what you were given this precious time to do.

You were meant to love life, explore, and experience it.  Feel it, devour the juicy tidbits of amazingness.  To identify your gifts and share them with the world.  You were meant to be happy!  So if you aren’t happy right now, is it because you are fearful of stepping outside your comfort zone?  Fearful that the next thing might be worse than now?

What if it isn’t?  What if it is bigger, better, and more amazing than you ever dreamed?  Would one single, scarey step be worth it?

Another theme that came up was the idea of “following the light to tomorrow”.  Essentially it means to just keep going.Light

When things get tough as they sometimes do, remembering your dreams and why you started to begin with can help you just keep going.  Continue moving forward toward the light of tomorrow with your dreams alive and you can do anything.  Just keep going.

So, if you aren’t living the life of your dreams and you are too worried about others doing something better than you, are you ready to take the step to move forward?  Ready to live your gifts and share them with the world? Ready to do more that just merely survive?
