I was driving the other day after dropping off the kids with my amazing mother-in-love. Windows down. Arm out- feeling the breeze as I cruised along listening to this (new to me) artist.
When this phrase popped into my head:
“What if my businesses ‘never worked out’ because I was meant to be doing this?”
‘This’ being:
* nurturing and unschooling my kids
* being there to coach their tee ball team, teach a co-op class and run Lego club
* to be- writing and sharing when it feels good, traveling and living my life more than finding ROI in my actions
I put ‘never worked out’ in quotes too because I do this often… I miss the greatness in the present (and past) striving for something bigger in the future. (when I could be having it right now.)
I’ve been working on this. Not letting my perfectionism and conditioned way of being, take away from the joy I’m experiencing now.
(receipts- my current lock screen)
Because in all reality- my past businesses have worked out.
Maybe not always in the way I was expecting- but certainly in the tools and knowledge I have today.
* And better yet- it lead me to find the creative work that fuels me now.
* The projects that I create only for me- not for public consumption. And the articles and courses I love to create and share for others too.
This article from Amie McNee then landed in my inbox and felt like YES- THIS is what I’m talking about✨
Maybe you relate? Maybe Definitely I’m processing this idea out loud. Comment and let us know here.
