I’m continuing my new blog series called…
“It’s Time. You are ready. Go.”
If you’ve felt a strong, relentless inner nudge within to change, grow, or expand some area of your life, then that is a good sign you are ready.
You are standing at the edge of a line that has been drawn in the sand.
On one side of that line is “your old self”, “your old life”, “your old way of thinking”, and “your old way of doing things”.
And on the other side of that line is “your NEW self”, “your NEW life”, or “your NEW way of thinking”, and “your NEW way of doing things”.
But in order for you to grow, you MUST take a brave step across that line in the sand and into your NEW life. It’s time to make a decision and go!
You can either “accept the call to the hero’s journey” and reach your peak potential and fulfill your calling(s), or you can choose to “deny the call to the hero’s journey” and remain the same.
It’s up to you. I chose to “Accept the call”.
This is happening to you because you were born with a unique gift (a genius) that helps make other people’s lives better and it’s part of your destiny to help more people. It’s bigger than you. YOU are the only one that can help others solve their problem in the unique way YOU do it. No one else can do what you do, the way you do it.
I believe our real work in the world is to discover what our unique “gift” (our “genius”) is and do that. You bring your “gift” with you to your job or your business. I believe everyone is born with up to three primary “gifts”. Your gift comes so easy for you, that you often overlook it, and dismiss it.
Getting help with this is ideal.
Getting help with this is ideal.
What will you choose to do different for your life, your career or your business in 2017?
Starting today, the line has been drawn in the SAND. Will you accept the call or remain the same in 2017?
It’s time to make a decision. You are ready. Go!
Be sure to leave your comment below this post. What is your unique gift(s)? What have you decided to do different? I will read and respond to all of them.
Much love,

p.s. After many years of searching, my unique gifts (genius) are “Excavating Truth”, “Fear Liberator” and “Personal Power”. I am a fire starter. I help others ignite their FIRE (passion & purpose) within. I help others take their power back and deliberately create their best life. I inspire others to change what needs to change and take action so they can fulfill their calling, make a difference and be happy, fulfilled and enjoy their life!
I also create a safe, compassionate space for others to speak their truth and OWN it. I enjoy the process of digging deep to peel away the layers to get to the heart of the matter to solve problems and create innovative solutions to achieve a desired feeling and desired goal fast. Sales, marketing, communication and teaching are skills that I have talent in too. But my “gifts” are my unique way that I do those other things. This is what I was born to do.
What is the work you born to do? Are you stepping across the line today? Tell me in the comments below this blog post. I will read and respond to all of them.
Yes, yes, yes!! Thanks for adding that link of Joseph Campbell’s book.
Me? I’m on the very edge of that dark night of the soul. I’ve done my work, I know my mission, my purpose, my core values, just did a list of my top 16 values in one of several courses I’m taking. Yes, it’s time, but for me it’s a not quite time to act.
I’ve been told to have patience right now. I am living in true freedom right now. Everyone around me is asking me how old am I, and why have I given up the job that I hated. Why did I give up my stuff? They don’t understand. And I am told to be patient. Yes, I want to speed things up. I want things to happen right now. I know that I am supposed to be learning and studying which I am doing. I am also learning humility having to give up so much for my true self.
Everyone is apologizing for things they feel they should have done. I’m sorry I didn’t call you sooner. I’m sorry, we didn’t talk. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Guess what? What if it’s okay just they way it happened? What if it’s divine timing? What if we came together just when it was meant to be? We all have free will, and I’m not going to judge you one way or another. You didn’t call me back? Honestly, it’s really okay. Your loss.I’m fine. No you don’t need to apologize. Can you do the same for me though, too? Just accept me for me? Try not to judge? Life would be so much easier if that were the case.
This new paradigm is going to be even better than what I am envisioning when it all comes together. I live in a state of excitement and joy every day no matter what the people around me do or say. No one is bringing me down. There is a special energy moving into our reality right now, and I’m going to be riding a beautiful wave of the sparkles very soon!! Join me!
April, I love all your sentiments and ideas here. Thanks for sharing your perspective!!
Susan, You’re awesome! Thanks for sharing from your heart here. I love how you choose to see everything from the lens of “What if it’s ok just the way it happened? What if it’s diving timing?” I do think our lives are unfolding in a divine order that sometimes looks like chaos. But in reality it is all intended for our highest good. I’m so proud of you having the courage to “be who you are” rather than being what other people “think you should be”. Yes, our family and friends want the best for us. They truly want to help us when they tell us to “go the safe, secure route in your career”. But when your heart yearns to live your truth, you gotta leap and find a way to be independent while on your “right path to your destiny.” It’s possible! Girl, I am so glad we are friends and may you have your hearts desires. It’s on the way! Much love, April
