I imagine that walking
across a tight rope would scare the hell out of me. I mean, I don't even know
if I would take the step off of the platform on to the rope. There would
certainly be a lot to consider - especially the fall. What if I got
hurt? What if I started walking across but couldn't make it the rest of the
way? What if I lost my balance?
My tight rope was
starting this blog and my new facebook page
with the intention of turning my passion of helping others into an actual,
lucrative career. Needless to say, I've spent a lot of time standing on the
platform contemplating the first steps. Within the last few weeks, my
confidence has grown along with my bravery. And here I am tonight, making my
first blog entry after an incredible day where I've watched my dreams start to
become reality.
This entry is so
appropriate as my first because what has inspired me to take action are my
future clients. I've needed to do what I will be asking of others - to put
aside reservations, to organize life in a way so that it works, to start taking
steps that align with goals, and to show gratitude for what is already in place
- to trust, to believe, and to persevere.
Life will always present
moments when you feel completely out of balance. It is in these times that your
sense of equilibrium, or lack thereof, is heightened. The restoration of
balance is craved because it brings back a comfort that we take for granted
until it’s lost. The absence of balance can be paralyzing because without it,
there is uncertainty in what will happen with the next
step. Predictability is lost and hesitation sets in – or fear,
or worry or a whole other host of emotions that confine our experiences instead
of allowing for them to be experienced with freedom and joy.
What I have learned is
how to get that balance back. What I want to share with others is how to do the
same. I am excited for the rope ahead and look forward to taking those steps…are you?
