The next question was “are you really willing to do what it takes?” Yes. Ok, so let’s begin with a new question: What would someone who is living their dreams believe about themselves and the world? The answers flowed quickly: they would believe they are worthy, they would feel deserving, they would feel safe, they would feel supported, they would feel entitled, they would believe it is okay to have what they want, they would see the world as a place where dreams come true, and they would believe that their dreams coming true was possible.
Following this line of inquiry, I checked in to see if my current beliefs were in alignment. Given that in some areas I am not experiencing the “life of my dreams” I was willing to admit that it was time to upgrade the operating system from which I was creating, the same system that I was blaming. I chose to take responsibility for the contents of that system. I chose to not blame my conditioned mind any longer. There was no need to blame myself or anyone else. There was no shame in the discovery. I no longer need to justify my experience – it is the one I chose, and at any moment I have the power to change it to something different.
So, do you want your dreams badly enough to let go of seeing yourself as a victim, to let go of your self- image and your worldview? Do you want it badly enough to change?
It doesn’t matter what you change, just start somewhere. Would you be willing to change your daily behaviours? Eating habits? Sleep patterns? Self-care? or your self- talk? What would it take to change any of those things? Would you still be willing to do it if it was uncomfortable? What about if you felt vulnerable? What about if it was scary?
When we want something badly enough we will do what needs to be done. We will just show up in ways that we may never have believed we could. We can surprise ourselves! We are powerful beings. I invite you to call your power home, to you, and begin today to step into living your dreams.
