When you’re ready to quit read this (a manifesto for beginners)

June 15, 2018

Only a few years ago I found myself at a fork in the road. I wasn’t willing to settle for a life and career that didn’t feel like me.

I knew it was possible to love my work again.

And so I followed a hunch, that lead me on an adventure – and I’m by no means at the destination, nor will I ever be.  

So no matter where you’re at, I want you to remember this:

YOU, 

You are here for long term love

You’re vivacious, 

You have a willingness to experiment

and practice the art of making powerful choices

because you know there is no wrong, only beautiful lessons

Being stuck, it’s only a temporary thing

And whenever you doubt yourself or begin to dwell

and you feel yourself letting the excuses, blame or regret seep in

you say ‘no’ to that low vibe tribe 

and you just start somewhere 

after all, you just need one

one client, one yes, one sale, one connection

your biggest get unstuck mantra “always follow your curiosity” 

because your inner child and the things that mattered to her

they were probably right all along

and so you begin the journey, the adventure that does not have a destination 

“overnight success” – it ain’t in your sights

Because success is deeper than the bright lights

Newsflash – it’s an inside job, you hear your heart say

self-care, boundaries, energetic capacity

you keep them in check and go-to status update reads – “having me time”

because we’re here to thrive, not just survive  

And if by now you’re thinking… 

“but I still have no idea where to start?”

I want you to pause for a moment my love, and think…

What do they always thank you for?

What can you talk about till late in the night?

What do you value most in yourself and others?

those answers – they are when you are doing you, and only you

so be brave, declare it and follow it

find those who won’t settle either, 

it takes just one who’s listening

Rise together, the world needs more of you

and more of you

Rise to every new opportunity to connect 

It’s your greatest asset

And each time you hit that fork in the road, I want you to remember:

you are here on earth because you believe in something,  

a reason for living that’s bigger than yourself
