Well, EVERYTHING is possible. I’m so inspired by Amanda Hocking right now because she opened up my world to a new possibility. A business model that works. I was about to write “for her” as in, what she’s doing will work for her but not for me. BUT THAT’S THE THING. It all comes down to beliefs. A good chunk of the life I’m living right now was created from OTHER people’s beliefs about me. Mostly my mom’s. I think that’s a common mistake. But instead of being mad at myself for it, I acknowledge the information, I get clear on what MY beliefs about me are and I create, manifest, move forward from THAT place.
I was watching a TED talk given by Dan Phillips who builds unique houses out of recycled materials and he surprised me by talking about the PSYCHOLOGY, philosophy and science of WHY we have a “herd” mentality. He wrapped up by daring everyone to live “YOUR life the way you want.”
I felt like he was talking to me. Challenging me. And I thought “HOW much happier, contented, and at peace would I be if I was living the life I want. What a powerful example that would be. And more than that, what a beautiful, honest gift that would be to give myself.”
And why not? ANYTHING is possible.
