Trust your inner voice Ruby, I heard through the keys.
This is the one you are ready to share.
“They have more than enough tools to support them right now” I could hear my heart whisper…
My eyes start to well up as I find a clean page and begin to write. My chest tightens, as I think of how many times today my inner critic stuck her nose in my business, and my personal business. It may not be often these days, but she’s still there.
But how many of these people (even if online or in books in my case) actually continue to inspire you five years on?
The very people that tell you exactly that nugget-o-wisdom exactly when you need it.
In the case of doing a 180 in my career, new ways of thinking, direction and encouragement was needed often to break through moments of confusion and fear.
These four people below, shaped my path from practising Architect to Life Coach five years later (while doing a number of other things in between). I still call on their wisdom, their quirkiness and original thinking to support my journey into business.
Because, as I mention in the video, you can’t and you shouldn’t feel like you have to do it alone.
Authenticity is a mega-buzz-word in the spiritual/personal development circles.
Every day quotes on Instagram about it.
Social media is a perfect avenue for this new found freedom. We can do a no make-up selfie without a care in the world (although thank god some days they created filters!).
Inspiring yes, but at the same time is leaving us quite confused about what authenticity really is. Including myself. To the point where the word kinda started to bug me a little.
Truth be told, authenticity, whether I like the word or not, is sexy. When I meet someone who knows who they truly are and they live through that, it’s magnetic.
My husband is one of those cool cats. Which is why today I wanted to share a recent conversation we had on the subject. He shared with me what it looks like to live authentically, and how you can know when you’re being truly authentic. Thanks hubs.
About four years ago, at a personal development seminar, I stood up in front of a room of a hundred people (absolutely sweating) and declared that I wanted to be fearless.
At the time I felt like some kind of superhero, to be without fear was the dream.
Within the time of making my declaration, I’d made some pretty major changes in my life and I thought leaping in head first and showing fear who’s boss, would cure me of it’s grip.
Sadly not.
In fact I never became “fearless”.
