When you make a decision to do something new in your life and then it doesn’t go the way you had hoped, you think you’ve made a mistake. You haven’t. Instead, you’ve learned something about yourself. Going down the supposed wrong path has just given you the opportunity to learn something about yourself. You can’t know who you are until you know who you’re not !
Recently, I made a decision to try to take the easy path towards a career that I knew I didn’t want. I talked myself into believing I needed a “secure, safe” job in order to guarantee my financial future. In the past several years, along with working as an empathic intuitive, I had been pursuing the dream of creating and writing movies and television shows. I had more rejections than I can count but I didn’t let those rejections deter me from my dream. But, after so many years of trying I thought that I should have a back up plan. So, I took a job that would have guaranteed my financial future. It wasn’t at all what I wanted but it was a back up in case what I really wanted didn’t happen. I thought I had figured out a way to change my life for the better. I knew with certainty that I was going in a whole different direction in my life. I was settling for a job that I thought would give me security and peace of mind. I was 100% wrong !
I took the job because I thought it was both logical and safe. I took the job because for the first time in my life, I was going to stop taking risks and do something that was logical. Over the last six months I have learned that risk taking is my life. I am just not the type of person that doesn’t take risks. I had convinced myself that IF one of my projects did not sell, then at least I wouldn’t die destitute. Through this whole process I have learned that I would rather be poor and a writer/creator than to live a non-risk taking life.
I am an adventurer. I am a creative soul. I am a hermit. I am God’s voice when I write. I am gifted with God’s creativity. I am NOT an ordinary person with an ordinary job. I did not incarnate to live life safely. I am a risk taker. I am controversial. I am that little piece of God that forces you to look at who you are. I cannot be that person if I am not pushing the envelope of truth. I came into the body to shake up the world, and if I have to live a life of poverty to do it, then I will. Mother Theresa was and will always be one of the most influential beings on this planet, and she had no money and very little material possessions. I aspire to be that influential.
I would not have awakened to any of this unless I had sidetracked down a different path. I had glimpses of who I was but living as who I am NOT, I quickly realized I needed to go back to taking risks and living on the edge.
Once I fully understood who I am then a door opened giving me the opportunity to go back to writing and being me. Once I fully embraced my truth, then the Universe sent me an angel to help. Upon hearing the news that one of my projects has a producer interested, I realized deep in my soul that writing is indeed my passion, and under no circumstances can I walk away from it. I am now no longer going to be working as a restaurant manager but instead going back to putting my projects out there, and promoting my writing.
Because of this new development, I will be continuing to do sessions because, that too, is who I am. Because I have embraced my truth, my energy system has been restored and I should be able to work for some time. I plan on doing small groups at my home on a monthly basis too. I love the energy of small groups and am filled with joy by the swirling of all the energies of spirit that each person brings with them to the group. So please SPREAD THE WORD, I’m here.
I could look upon the last six months and believe that I made a mistake by taking the job, but I know better. I know that I gained an everlasting understanding of who I really am, and a gratitude for myself that I would not have had without spending six months not living my truth. It was the epitome of time well spent.
Don’t be afraid to change your mind and try something new… you can always change your mind and go back the other way. But if you judge your actions as mistakes, you will not have gained any level of understanding about yourself. You can’t know who you are until you know who you are not ! To me, life is all about change, and the more you can roll with it the happier you will be.
SO, ROLL WITH IT BABY ! Go after what you want, but don’t judge yourself if it doesn’t turn out what you thought you wanted is what you really want. There would be no way of knowing that unless you tried it !
