What Are We Waiting For?
Photo by Hi, Guys! It`s been a while since I`ve written a new post! So much Life has happened. Funny how that happens, isn`t it? I feel the need to reach out and ask you if you have been experiencing the same feelings as I have about having dreams b but feeling too afraid to move forward with them. I know, very profoundly, that the universe is here to support our every move, no matter how small but MOVE, WE MUST! We cannot sit on the couch eating bon- bons (have you ever actually eaten one?) and expect our dreams to knock on the door, give us a ring or send us an email! We have to take action, even if we don’t know HOW to move in the direction of our dreams, exactly. If we move in that direction “as best we can” or with a baby step that “might” be the right way to go, the energy we put forth will attract the like vibration/energy and once again, the universe steps in. Bringing us that phone call, email or knock at the door. I KNOW THIS, so why do I feel afraid still?
I firmly believe that we are “in this world but not of it”. I believe we are spiritual beings having human experiences, so we feel afraid, we let our thoughts run rampant, even though we KNOW what we intellectually know- we sometimes still make decisions based on those fears. Don’t do it people! I implore you. I have spent soooo many years sitting on the bench, standing on the sidelines and staying off the dance floor that your head would spin!! If I told you some of the opportunities as an actress I passed on!!! How about saying no to meeting Brian De Palma and reading with Al Pacino? How about reading for Scorsese for the film Casino? OH, there are SO MANY of those I “could” let it eat away at my guts and continue to make me feel regret OR… I can learn from those decisions today.
What I know for real, as sure as my very breath, is that if I don’t try, it’s an automatic fail! Lately, I’ve been trying this as an actual experiment. Whatever it is that I want to do, be or try for myself (safe, legal and healthy!) I have been taking a shot and going for it and you know what? 8 out of 10 times, it`s actually really worked! I want so much to be a guest on Tyler Henry`s Hollywood Medium Show ( knowing that he has HUGE stars waiting and a waiting list of non-celebrities somewhere in the 220k range of people!!) But I thought to myself “Great! I literally have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain, as I am telling the universe what I want and taking action to move forward towards that dream.” So, guess what? I reached out and submitted a form through his website online and I literally heard back from his team that afternoon! They explained that Tyler does not favor celebrities and that they would see what they could do. OMG!! I WAS SOO HAPPY! No, they didn’t ask me to do the show YET… but this totally reinforced what I KNOW to be true- take a step, Any STEP TOWARDS YOUR DREAM and keep on steppin and it will happen for you or something even better will.
I have a very dear friend named Tom, who is an incredibly successful business man and mentor to me who always says “oh, you failed? Congratulations!” Because every successful person must have “failures” along the way in order to learn a better way. Which means what? If you have learned something, it is not a failure but absolute success. The ONLY way you fail, is if you don’t try! So what are you waiting for, my friend?
Get out there and take a step. Then another… and another and…Voila!
