Glimpsing Heaven
It’s 2014. I’m about to go into the fourth year of a journalism and political science degree. I’ve just spent the holidays working at a flashy magazine. I feel like a badass, but the elevators make me dizzy, and my skin feels grimy from all that makeup and “city”. I thought I wanted to be on tv, but chasing meaningless (to me) stories isn’t actually fulfilling me.
I sit on my balcony, writing, with a cup of tea, feeling as connected to Life as I’ll ever be. If I sit still long enough, I’m sure an entire book will come pouring out of me. My plans are pretty hazy. I know I want to start a blog and start sharing what I’m writing. I figure I’ll give it another year, save money while I finish my degree, then start when I’m living and safe in Sydney. Ugh. Annoyed, I resign myself to plod along reluctantly. When out of the blue, an idea occurs to me.
“Why don’t you just do it now?”
The ego jumps in quickly, “because you’re not ready, you don’t have the financial stability, you’re not old enough, you don’t know how to do this properly” I stop reading, close my eyes and feel into the truth within me.
“Could I be ready… now?”
The heavens open up and I can see.
A whole website - not unlike this one you’re ready - and me, sharing it proudly. I’m standing on stage, talking, taking days like this to reflect, meditate and channel guidance I receive.
Purpose, joy and passion start flowing through me. I laugh, loudly. I feel safe, limitless and free. I see my Grandma, on the other side, she’s smiling and nodding. “Yes,” she agrees with me.
I quit the internship and spend every cent in my savings on an eight-week online course that’s been calling out to me. It feels like sky diving. Over the next year, I get to experience the impact this one choice has on my life and the world around me. I finish my degree, while writing, sharing and speaking. I’m inspired, alive and happy.
Ever been railroaded by this belief? What if instead of looking for a way around the cliff face, you take a running leap… close the gap - between where you are and where you want to be - quickly?
Fly baby.
It’s time.
You’re free.
