We all want new beginnings. That chance to create something new and wonderful. But we are reluctant to let go of what we currently have, even if it's not to our liking. Even if it's painful. Even if it seems to be robbing us of joy. Even if it stifles our freedom and creativity. We want a better relationship, but we refuse to dissolve the current one. We tell ourselves that once we find someone new, then we’ll dissolve the current one. We want to grow our business, but we refuse to spend money on marketing or employees or sales training until our business grows first. We want to make money doing something we love, but we find a million excuses why it can’t be done so we continue as we are. Does that sound familiar? “There’s a power that lives in the space ‘between,’ that subtle instant when something ends and what follows next hasn’t yet begun. From the birth and death of galaxies, to the beginning and ending of careers and relationships, and even in the simplicity of breathing in and out, creation is the story of beginnings and endings: cycles that start and stop, expand and contract, live and die. Regardless of the scale, between the ‘end’ and the ‘beginning,’ there exists a moment in time when neither one has fully happened. That moment is where magic and miracles come from! In the instant of between, all possibilities exist and none have been chosen.” ~ Gregg Braden, Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer  There may be power in the space between an ending and a beginning and that space may also be where magic and miracles happen, but we don’t want to be uncomfortable. We want guarantees! (at least many of us do) Stepping into the unknown and facing our fears won’t kill us. When we first learned to ride a bicycle or drive a car, we were probably nervous and afraid. But we pushed through that fear and now these activities are second nature to us. When we first started our job, we didn’t know what to expect or if we even had the right skills and we may have been nervous and afraid. But we showed up day after day and gained skills, confidence, and expertise. So, why do we continue to claim that we are too afraid to end something that we know needs to ‘die’ in our life instead of starting something new? Our mind plays tricks on us. We live in the world of ‘what if’: What if I make a mistake? What if I make a wrong decision? What if I’m not successful? What if people get mad at me? What if I’m rejected? What if my family doesn’t like it? And the ‘what if?’ list goes on and on. Few of us ask what if it does work as expected or what if this makes me so happy or what if this is what I was born to do or what if I deserve this? ==> If you’d like help in facing your fears and encouragement in stepping into the unknown, click here for a free Breakthough Session I had to make my own ‘hard and scary’ decision this week on what needed to end so I could have a chance at a new beginning. Was I nervous and afraid? You bet. Was I worried about what people would think of me? Yes. Did I feel like I didn’t want to disappoint anyone or let anyone down? Absolutely! Was I shaking in my ‘high heels?’ For sure. But once the decision was made, I felt calm and free. Here’s another ‘what if’ question. What if once the decision and commitment is made, magic and miracles happen. Watch this clip from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  CALL TO ACTION: In the next 24 – 48 hours

 Isn’t it time you listened to your own wisdom? After my last blog entered my inbox and I actually read what I wrote, I was shocked and stupefied. I didn’t realize the mixed messages I’ve been putting out. My last blog said this: We get afraid when all we focus on is the outcome and the subtext is don’t focus on the outcome, but focus on smaller steps. And in another previous blog I say this: It’s more productive to focus on one thing at a time and that subtext is also about not focusing on the outcome, but on smaller steps. And yet, the Law of Attraction gurus tell us to focus on what we want and even on my Sunday morning talks, I’ll talk endlessly about keeping our focus on our desires. So which is it? Do we focus on the small steps or do we focus on our desires? Which expert do we listen to? Is there a ‘one-size-fits-all’ methodology to create the life of our dreams? No wonder we may be confused and confounded when the messages we read and hear aren’t consistent. And when we’re confused, what happens? Probably not much. Some people do get afraid when they focus on the outcome and others get inspired and motivated. Some people are more productive when they focus on one thing at a time and others get bogged down and overwhelmed by those day-to-day details but can easily move forward in the direction of the big picture. You are an expert on YOU! Would you like to guess where my focus has been most of my life? It has been on the smaller steps and not on the big picture. I mentioned in my last blog, I’m good at starting things and maybe that’s because I have a narrower focus. And yet, the juiciness and joy in those small steps come from the focus of the big picture, the goal, and the gloriousness of our desire. And sometimes I lose out on that juiciness because I forget to reconnect with my vision. And that’s why I have my own coach. And like so many other choices, perhaps it’s not simply a matter of either/or. Maybe it’s not focus on the outcome or focus on the steps; maybe it’s focus on the outcome and focus on the steps. And sometimes we might need some help getting out of our own way and out of our comfort zone – and that’s where I can help. If you’d like help in getting unstuck in either/or thinking, click here for a free Breakthough Session Bottom line, don’t give up your own internal wisdom simply because someone else claims to be an expert. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. And love yourself enough to change if your current way of thinking and behaving isn’t working out.  CALL TO ACTION: In the next 24 – 48 hours
