Leap of Faith

As I was reaching for an old comfort food the other night, it struck me how creating the life you want nearly ALWAYS requires that you go against what the collective message is.

The collective message may say, buy this and eat this, it’s delicious and a treat, and you DESERVE it.  Yet, the item in question may actually be laden with chemicals, or just foods that don’t vibe with you, lower your vibration making you feel like crap after you eat it.  Or the collective message may be that you HAVE to get a job you hate, and keep it, for security of money, insurance, etc., etc. 

Often, the collective message is FEAR-based.  Anything that is fear is not love.  And LOVE is what sets us free!

This is why it feels scary to follow your inner guidance!  Taking a bold step, even contemplating taking a tiny bold step led by your higher-self can bring up feelings of:

• Fear of disappointing people in our lives
• Fear of being criticized
• Fear of not being respected for our choices
• Concerns about doing something you’re ‘not supposed to do’ – Feeling like you need permission from someone else
• Feelings of unworthiness
• Feelings that whatever the action is, is ‘crazy’ because you don’t yet know how it’s actually going to work out
  

Following your inner guidance requires faith.  Taking a leap of faith is exactly what it is, each and every time.

What stops most people from doing this, is right before they take the action they know in their hearts is what they wish to do, they may stop themselves based on any of the fears listed above. 
It can feel like the hardest thing EVER to do before you do it.  And this one small step can be any number of actions, a few examples would be:

• Giving notice to resign at your job
• Switching doctors or other advisors in your life to be more aligned with your beliefs and values
• Going for a run
• Changing your diet
• Leaving a relationship
• Moving
• Starting a business
  

And the list can go on and on.  But something amazing happens though once you take even ONE small step.  A new space is created.  Taking the first step, with blind faith that the following steps will be shown to you as needed, the next step will show itself.  Another way to say it, is that as you take the first step, you’ll be in a position to more clearly choose the second step, and so forth. 

What becomes clear as you go on, is that the people most likely to criticize you, are feeling unworthy or afraid, themselves.  They will either change their tune as you live your life on your own terms, or they will simply no longer resonate with you and your community will change—bringing in more support, love and high vibrations around you. Bless those unable to take the journey with you, with love, and continue on, knowing that living your highest potential will serve yourself and others in unimaginably great ways.

It takes some guts to make changes to live the way you want to.  You are perfect and have the power of the Divine flowing through you.  You can claim your power—your peaceful, perfect, creative power, and be free, my darling beautiful Soul-flake. Take that first step, and the next… and watch that veil open before you. 

There are no do-overs.  Give yourself permission.  Create the life you want.  The world needs you and your gifts -- Now.

You are worthy, you are Divine, YOU ARE PERFECT.  You are more than the sum of experiences in your past.  You are so loved.

Many blessings,

Ellen
