Even The Best Fall Down Sometimes
Howie Day sang it beautifully this morning as I sipped from my coffee cup. After an amazing few days away blissfully relaxing and disconnecting with my man and his family in Italy, I'm now jolted back to reality.
It's been just over five weeks since I left my life behind in Dublin to seek pastures new and chase my dreams. I had been so busy taking the necessary steps to get here that somewhere in the mix of packing, shipping and settling in I lost sight of my goal and vision. It's something I can't ignore.
I feel like there's a piece of the puzzle missing and while I am feeling deflated and uninspired by these feelings, Howie Day reminded me that there are times in life that even when we feel that we have all our ducks nicely lined up, sometimes we can still feel slightly off course and out of focus.
I had been feeling a little guilty about how I was feeling but then I had my light bulb 'I'm learning a lesson here' moment. We need the edgy feelings. We need the low-vibing feelings just as much as the jump-for-joy ones. They are our guiding system.
I changed country and career and took gigantic steps and scary risks to become more of the person that I dream of being. I've learnt that I love risks - the bigger and scarier the better eh!? - and I'm not afraid to keep seeking and playing a game of trial and error. I believe it's part of the process.
I've also learnt just how much I want this. This being the coaching and guidance of stunning young women. There is so much that I want to give. There is an abundance of knowledge and guidance that I want to share. It's taken me a long time to figure that one out. Now that I've found it I'm not prepared to give up on my dream and goals. I'm not prepared to make substitutions or dilute my vision. In fact, those deflated feelings and the fact that I have been feeling uninspired only serves to guide me more in the direction of my dreams. Over the last few days I've been reminded to 'stay hungry'. Not to settle, but to keep striving and moving forward.
My message to you darlings is this - even the best fall down sometimes. Don't allow your set-backs or low feelings to keep you down. Instead choose to let them light a fire of passion inside you. Choose to see the lesson and rise to meet the standards and goals that you have set. You are so very worth it.
The world needs you to step up every day and to bring your wizardry and magic to this world.
So together on this chilly Spring day let us hold our heads high, let's straighten our backs and sashay our way confidently into our future.
Love to you bright soul xxx
