This week I asked myself, “Why not me?” It was a question meant to inspire myself. I try to do that often these days. It’s fun.
Everyone who’s ever done something awesome, started somewhere – there’s nothing that separates me from everyone else. Why not me?
I’m getting ready for the Hay House Writer’s Conference in New York this month. After a divine combination of events, including waking up in a dream about Gabrielle Bernstein (One of the event speakers), I booked my spot, my bus ticket and my room and made a plan for adventure. I also made a plan to win the Publishing contract and $10,000 advance.
Why not me?
I know it’s true – that I can do something awesome (I am already), that I’m meant for these things I’m so passionate about. It’s clear to see and plain to feel that writing stuff that helps you heal and lights your fire is what I was born to do.
Feeling is how I know this. I’m better at feeling joy. I’ve spent lots of time getting used to fear, doubt, shame, unworthiness, sorrow and worry. It’s my time to shine with the magical power of desire, love, joy and bliss. This isn’t an airy fairy notion. It isn’t a fad. It’s not a phase I’m going through. And I am not in Fantasyland.
This is how I choose to live my life from now on, no matter what life throws my way, no matter what people think, and hardest of all, no matter what that voice inside my head tells me. Why not me? I’m up for it. I’m ready. Time to build my empire.
Now I’m throwing it your way. Why not you?
What does that voice say to you? What excuses does it come up with? What kind of attack does it carry out on your dreams? It’s time to listen to the other voice in there – it’s a kinder, gentler one.
She asks calmly, “Why not you?” She knows your gifts, your desires, and your dreams. She knows how amazing you are, what good you want to do in the world, what philanthropic things you have planned with the abundance you seek. She sees your awesomeness. She celebrates your soul.
She knows. Listen to her.
Light yourself on fire and let others be warmed by the light. Letting anything get in the way of that, especially your own fears, doubts and worries, only keeps you from feeling the joy and love that you are at your core.
Peel off the layers of crap that sit on top of that light and please, let us see what you came here to do. Why not you?
Repeat after me…
Why.
Not.
Me?
