I got an intuitive download in the early morning that I needed to give myself permission. Permission to be right where I am. Permission to start something new. Permission to see how this turns out.
In late May, I went for a career change. I’ve been in biotech for the last 24 years. That’s a lot, and for the last 5–10 years, I’ve had these nudges to start something of my own. I’ve tried before, but they were half-hearted attempts. Still, I learned from each one. This time, though, it feels different.
I know that Creativity for Hope is my calling. I am meant to help people hear their inner guidance using creative practices. Creativity is the path back to self. And I know that I can’t play small.
There is a lot to do, and I am coming to the realization that I need some help to get this all to work and to give myself a fair shot. I feel like I “should” be able to do this all myself. But that is a myth. I feel like no one ever talks about all the help they have because we are told by Western society that we should be able to make it alone.
The truth is, no one does life alone.
So today, I am choosing to no longer believe in the idea that I need to do it all. I am giving myself permission to create a circle of support for myself. I choose to give myself permission to be part of a community and find support for my business and my life.
So it is. Thank you, Universe, for this gift or better.
