LET YOUR HEART SONG BE HEARD
Trying to do your own business takes so much courage, drive, focus and most importantly relentless belief in yourself that what you are trying to achieve is of value, and that others will reap the benefits from what you share.
Trying to do your own business takes so much courage, drive, focus and most importantly relentless belief in yourself that what you are trying to achieve is of value, and that others will reap the benefits from what you share.
It is extremely challenging to continue to stand up and show up for yourself when there is the relentless inner judge, telling you that what is the point, you are never going to succeed, that you may as well focus your attention on finding a job where you can earn money to keep a roof over your head and food on the table.
For me, there is that voice but there is also this feeling deep within me, that I am made for so much more than playing it safe. That I made to go big or go home! That I made to shine so bright that success is the only possibility. That is what I feel in me.
It’s like a fire burning inside me that even when I try to maintain work, that I feel like are jobs that are a means to an end, that may bring me great financial abundance, it doesn’t fulfil me, and I am left feeling that deep desire for greatness. For more because the soul knows, deep down, that more is possible. That I am being limited by my own mind.
That, life is limitless, and I can have all that I desire. That I can have all I want. All I need to do is keep believing.
Keep monitoring the thoughts I have, the actions I take, the behaviours I play out, and always questioning, are they in alignment with what I desire. Is what I am projecting out into the world matching what I wish to receive?
I used to ask myself, what would a person of abundance do? By asking this question it immediately brings you into the space of fullness, wholeness and you can then make decisions, actions and behaviours, from this space of abundance, instead of a lack mindset. You come from wholeness, security within yourself. From there, the world truly feels limitless.
From there, you really feel that anything is possible in the world, and that really, you are only as limited as your imagination. So, if you can imagine it, dream it, then you can have it. You just need to believe it completely and fully. That if you desire it, it is already yours.
This post was inspired by John Farhnam’s songs. I was listening to them, particularly The Voice, and when I was listening to it, I was moved to tears. Tears, because I felt his words to be true. I could feel them in my heart. I could feel the power and emotion behind them and was moved by the strength and courage they invoked in me. It felt so powerful. So strong. So fierce. Sometimes when something moves me in this way, I have this thought pop into my head, imagine if they lost belief in themselves and their gift, imagine if they gave up and never followed through with their singing or writing songs, imagine that. We would have a world without this magnificent, awe-inspiring song, The Voice, and what an unfortunate thing that would be, because really, it is an amazing song! It is so powerful and so brave, bold and courageous. It immediately makes you feel like you can do anything in the world. So imagine a world without such a song. Imagine, if John Farnham thought, oh no I’m crap, I’ve got nothing to offer, this song is crap, no one will want to listen to it. Imagine, if he listened to such thoughts and that amazing song, and songs, I should add, for those of you who don’t know of him, he had multiple amazing songs, so imagine a world without such beauty. Without such an empowering, heart opening, gift.
So, next time you hear that voice within, telling you can’t do something, remember the amazing songs you love listening to, the paintings that invoke deep emotions, the movies that make you feel, someone created them. Someone, believed in themselves enough, to keep forging through the path of self-doubt and worry to create something so amazing, so moving, so inspiring. So why can’t you do the same? Why can’t you be, the next John Farnham, in whatever way you wish to be? Why can’t you be the next amazing, awe-inspiring, writer, coach, singer? Why not?
Go be your most amazing self! Be the truth of who you are! Let your beautiful heart song be heard!
Never give up on your dream, and always, always, always, believe in the impossible.
Never stop believing in MAGIC.
You are only as limited as your imagination.
COMMITTMENT
Committing to yourself is half the battle towards change.
Some days it’s harder than others to create. When the mind is busy, filled with angst, worry, overthinking and analysing, it is very easy to get lost in this cycle. It is very easy to get consumed by it and become it.
Some days, takes more work than others, to clean the mind, to find discernment between what is real and what is unreal.
Today has been one of those days for me. Today, I went from having all this power, doing a strong practice, cleaning the house, dancing, to completely deflated, no energy, and uninspired and yet I had this deadline to be doing at least a couple of hours of work today and nothing was motivating me to do that. I tried to sit down and do my content writing but that too was not working. I tried to read ancient yogic scriptures to help me shift the mindset but that also wasn’t working. I tried to focus on things that bring me to the truth of who I am, this Divine Essence, but the mind was strong.
The mind wanted me to continue to focus on how I was lacking in life, no boyfriend, no children, starting my coaching business not really sure where it will go, I’d also was not at the weight where I feel good in the body, so that was also bringing the mood down.
The mind was having a field day with this. This is the perfect concoction for it to start losing it and spiralling into stagnation, lack, scarcity and insecurity.
Then thankfully, I was on Facebook, and chose intuitively to watch my friends YouTube video of his journeys through Asia. It was exactly what I needed. His journey was so random, abundant, grateful and inspiring. His level of gratitude, contentment, appreciation and ability to flow with life, was what brought me to be able to sit down and write this blog. He helped ignite in me the flame of passion, fulfilment and joy. He helped me remember that life is what we make of it and that I have a choice. I can continue to sit and allow the stories of the mind, beat me down and bring me to the mindset, that I am all too familiar with, or I can choose to take another path and allow his video, to inspire and uplift me. Remembering that anything is possible and that we must have unwavering trust and faith in our hearts. In our truth. That we are being guided to exactly where we are meant to be and that whatever we are doing right now, wherever we are at, is exactly where we are meant to be.
Comparing, ourselves to others, doesn’t serve anyone. It only serves the mind, the ego, the small self, to keep ourselves small and hidden. It doesn’t allow our true essence nature to be seen. To shine. Instead, it keeps us repeating the same cycles we may have been taking for many lifetimes now, it doesn’t help us rise to the truth of who we are. It keeps us small.
So today, thankfully to my beautiful and dear friend, who bared his soul and truth in his YouTube video, helped inspire me to do the same. To not compare myself to others, fearing that I am not enough because I don’t yet seem to have all that others do, or that I may never have the things that I truly desire, a boyfriend, family of my own, to not let the mind go down this spiral and to see it as just that. It is a pattern, a mindset, an old program. That is all, and the program can be changed and at any point in time. We must decide and commit. Commit to ourselves. To the truth. To our heart. Commit to living a life in truth. In true alignment to the soul and be unabashedly guided by this love.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
