Process of stepping into your true self
A stirring, a restlessness
Sitting with the feeling of restlessness
Thinking about every part of my life
Having to let go of something when I’m at the top of my career without knowing what’s next
Begin the process of unraveling yourself
Turned strategy development on myself
Just as important to know what you don’t want as it is to know what you do want
The ability to take some time off and clear my head and clear my heart
Work was an extension of who I truly was.
Two types of people: 1st, the job is the job and that’s all it is. 2nd Those who the work is who we are.
Work was as much spiritual development as it was emotional development
The business is like a baby, I feel like I birthed it. It is me and I am it.
It’s hard to be in relationship that doesn’t embody those principals
A quickening, more of a sense of urgency and focused on becoming and knowing what’s true for me and what’s meant for me in this world.
We owe it to ourselves to get on with it. The gifts we’re meant to share.
Needing your work to align with who you are
Feeling a sense of urgency to know what is true for you and not waste another moment.
The knowing that, that is not where you were supposed to be
The longer I stayed where I knew I wasn’t supposed to be the more I disliked myself.
It takes so much courage
It’s one thing to know it, to know your truth and it’s another thing entirely to live it.
To actually go: “I can’t stay here any longer, I’m leaving”.
There is always endings. It can be a good ending or a tragic ending. It can take a lot of courage. And endings can be tragic
William bridges model of change and transition: The neutral zone
No floaties
Let go “in love” of a marriage that wasn’t serving you.
Come out to myself that I’m gay.
I can no longer be who I truly am, because I am hurting them, and me.
It’s one thing to know your truth, and another to live it.
When your truth has you leaving something like that, it’s huge and I came to the point where it’s sad, but I can nolonger be in this and not live my truth.
If you’re really tuned into it. There becomes a time when the can’t becomes, there’s no way that I can’t live my true self.
When it comes from a place of love of myself and my family.
Getting out of my own way
A coach to look up to
A reminder that at some point we all feel this way
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is the most attractive thing
“What if we found out at the end of our lives we found out there was nothing to overcome, nothing to get any better at?”
Always on this question of learning and getting better. This world is built on the platform that we’re imperfect and we need to be fixed, trained and developed, but what if we are perfect just as the way we are?
I can focus on being who I am.
Learn how to take the armor off and honor it.
I was living my truth but I was not living all of who of I am. So about half of me was awake or living.
