SLAVE WORDS
To step out of 'the box' and make a decision which deviates from anything you have done before takes courage. It takes a little bit of CRAZY and some raw intuitive gusto.
To change a career, get a divorce, get married, adopt a baby, walk away from a great paying job to create a dream business . . . all these things are big and life changing decisions, not for the faint of heart.
What is that big change you've been itching to make? Why are you still frozen . . . as time passes you by while those gray hairs continue to multiply?
I ask this of you because recently I've asked the same of myself. For some years I've been working a night shift weekend nurse job, telling myself that this wouldn't be a forever gig.
That one day I'd break out of my routine, despite the good money and five days off a week!
I'm so blessed, don't get me wrong, but I want to do more. I'm capable of more. I have other talents!
In order to take a career dive toward my bliss job, I've had to face some tough realizations about my cowardly paralysis.
To admit to myself WHY I've delayed months . . . and even years, from pursuing my 'impossible' life's dream.
It's all been about waiting for approval of others. It's about the lack of faith I've had in myself.
How sad!
Have you been told or thought to yourself:
'I SHOULD STAY PUT WHERE I AM' . . .
'IT'S TOO CRAZY TO DREAM',
'IT'S TOO RISKY TO TRY' . . .
My friend Minnie would say, "These are all - SLAVE WORDS!"
For every person living a life of their bliss, there's hundreds more who suffer each day 'on automatic', going through robotic motions of a joyless career.
For every person living an abundant friend-filled life of adventure, there's hundreds of others who sit on a fence and feel numb. Stalled or stuck.
There are loveless marriages and joyless choices made everyday.
For what?
Because of 'shoulds' and 'shouldn'ts' (slave words) and stale expectations- placed on us by others.
Mercy! What would others think of a COURAGEOUS new you . . . who suddenly begins to 'rain dance' in a desert?
How RADICAL, how OUTRAGEOUS, how IMMATURE!
Wouldn't they be suprised if it actually began to rain . . . and you were surrounded by colorful spring buds, green abundance, flowing waters, & beautiful joy!
How FREE you'd be!
What a daring idea . . . yes?
May this message reach out and encourage the fertilization of those unique dream seeds in your heart.
May this blog spur one or two bliss seeds to sprout & blossom in your life!!!!
Light Always,
Fawn
