In the midst of several changes being announced this weekend, I found myself saying "I don't know" a lot. "I don't know what I want to do about that." "I don't know how that is going to look." And even "I don't know if I'm ok with this." Even having been an Empowerment coach for over a year, there are times when I need the reminders I frequently give. A beautiful friend of mine stepped up and called me out on it. "But you do know."
I was giving my power away to stress and fear and hiding in it through my choice of language. I do know. I especially know, for absolute certainty, that I am ok. None of these events and changes will harm me. They are all chances for growth and change. They are chances for beautiful opportunities for me to envision something new for my life.
When we say "I don't know" it is usually one of two situations. The first is a lack of interest in the subject. The second and more common, at least for me, is that some fear has shown up and hasn't been fully processed yet. One of my favorite questions during this time is, "what would I do if I were brave?" The truth is I am brave. So are you. And we prove it over and over again each day without realizing it. We do know, we just have to take the time to listen to our hearts.
Today I am grateful for my beautiful friend and soul-sister that reminded me to listen to my own words. I'm grateful to remember my own strength and honor it. I'm grateful to have taken the time to process and listen to my heart. And I'm so grateful to release that fear that had snuck in to my thoughts. I'm grateful to know these new opportunities are all for the best and I'm grateful to change my focus to the blessings within them. This is an opportunity to shine.
What is hiding behind your "I don't knows"? What would you do if you were brave? And now remember all the times you have been brave in the past. You ARE brave and you can handle this too. May today bless you with courage to face what you know. May you find love in taking those actions. Have a beautiful Day!
A little side note, yesterday was Father's Day and I would just like to say how grateful I am to have an amazing father who has always been a great example of courage. Thank you, Papa! And thank you to all the wonderful dads out there that do their best every day.
