I have to be honest, the last few weeks, I feel like I’ve been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I’ve taken some serious knocks, felt very disillusioned and, frankly, a little bit frightened about my direction in life.
I’m starting to learn, however, the vital importance of patience. It appears far more critical now than ever before. Now the thing with patience is it requires self-control, a mastery of your circumstances that can feel very fragile and uncertain.
People take regular jobs, earn their salaries, take their holidays because there’s a routine to it and someone else has done 99% of the thinking. Unfortunately, it means you relinquish a lot of freedom and, as I felt increasingly towards the end of my traditional working life, you have to play by other peoples’ rules.
Stepping out on your own requires much wisdom that you will learn en route to your destination. I have to say I’ve slipped in my vision, things are rather blurry right now and I am really questioning just how authentic my aspirations are. It feels like a bit of a crisis but I also know I’m shedding a lot of long-held beliefs so I am not overly worried but my sleeping dreams are very vivid and, often, leave me feeling rather shaky when I wake up.
You can’t control the rate of unfurling and predicting how long it will take to unlock your dream state is a fool’s game. I fundamentally believe that the answers and courage come with time all you need to do is keep moving. Don’t let the darkness consume you, have faith and know that you’re closer to success at any time than you’re currently allowing yourself to think.
Stay Strong.
