I woke up early this morning with a big question in my head: Which one do I choose?
In my last post, I talked about following my bliss and taking the next step — that is starting my own business and I had two choices in front of me: one was a business that I already started to build months ago and one that I needed to start from scratch.
The first one was something I did because I thought it was a good idea, not a great idea, but good enough to bring in the cash. If you asked me, I wasn’t totally psyched about it but I thought I didn’t need to be. I was, after all, starting a business not playing. I don’t need to be too passionate about it, I just need to be determined and focused. Or so I thought.
Reading back over that statement, it sounds really ridiculous now. And I realize, that maybe, the reason I never pushed through with it was precisely because of that: I wasn’t passionate about it. It didn’t call out to me. It didn’t feel like creative work. And it wasn’t fun!
But who said business doesn’t have to be fun?
I come back to what I learned from “Ask and It is Given”, the most important thing is for you to feel good. Do what makes you happy and everything else will follow.
So what’s holding me back? I’m scared because I’ve never done anything like it. I’m scared because I’m not sure what to do next.
But just the idea of doing it makes me giddy with excitement. It makes my heart sing. My mind is brimming with ideas. I can just imagine pouring my heart into it every day. I just know it.
Awhile ago, I was looking for my journal, hoping to sort my thoughts and gain some clarity, when I realized I left it in hubby’s car. I felt moved to reach out for my old journal and flip through the pages.
And right there, in my own writing, the Universe answered my questions and allayed my fears:
“I have everything I need inside me to succeed. I only need to allow it into my life…”
“I don’t need to “act as if” because “I ALREADY AM.”
“Follow your bliss, express your passion, create your life deliberately. Be loving. Be generous.”
“Focus your energies on worthwhile things.”
“Act on something, not because you need the money, but because it feels good to do it.”
“Act based on inspiration, passion and true heart-felt desire.”
It all sounds amazing but then again, I’ve proven, that once you ask, it is given.
My answer is right here.
Now I know what to do.
