I’ve been reading Brianna Wiest lately. This is from her book The Pivot Year. She goes on to say, ‘when you ask for a big life, you cannot keep fighting for a smaller one to stay’.
Yep, you’re going to have to let some things fade out of your life. And that’s hard. Because ‘what if’? What if we just need to try a little harder or wait a little longer? Nope.
You know deep down you’re playing small. You know that thing is keeping you small. Go ahead and keep trying but the real success won’t come till you’re honest with yourself about what’s preventing you from living a bigger life.
I know I have struggled with this. What if I let that person go and no one comes along to take their place?
I remember a co-worker who had a sign at their desk that read, ‘sometimes we look so long at a closed door that we cannot see the one that’s open’.
What if clinging to the small thing is exactly the thing that’s preventing the big thing from coming in?
Try this ONE thing
Is it time to stop arguing for a smaller life? Isn’t it time open the door to a bigger life, trusting it is waiting for you to let go of lesser things? Life is telling you this is how to get it.
Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, and the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.
The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
