Your Edge...

"You didn't need faith to fly, you needed to understand flying" ~ Richard Bach, 2006, 57

What does it mean to be uncomfortable in your skin, to be unwavering about who you are? Do you have the ability for honest, bold conversations? To trust that when pushed to your edge, that you are safe?

I recently read an article on Authenticity – which, for those that know me or read my first blog, this is the juicy space I choose to live. Conversations with me go deep, and quick. I take you to your edge and gently wait until your soul is ready to fly, and then give you a gentle push…knowing you will soar high, like an eagle taking flight with full freedom. I have your back!

The edge. The edge can be a terrifying place if you don’t know the outcome of what might be on the other side. It takes deep trust in yourself that you WILL manage whatever is thrown at you. You WILL work through whatever life gives you. Trust me. I know. I’m living this as I write this piece. I’m a visionary. I soar high seeing the possibility in others and never fully trusted this in me…until recently. Until I reached my edge, and was pushed. There was nothing gentle about this push. There was no coach making sure I could soar before I was pushed. The choice was made for me to jump.

Let me give you context. I’m an independent consultant who works on major projects that I call my day job. Or, shall I say, was my day job. I’ve heard stories of contracts abruptly ending and for the first time in my career, I experienced this myself. I had two options. Seek another contract where the (perceived) security of a fixed term would support me financially OR I forgo the independent consulting world and become a full time self-employed entrepreneur following my passion.

I choose to create my reality every day, and with that, I also get to become fully self-employed. With all my being, I am pursing my passion in leading others to see their true potential, their authentic self while supporting overall wellness. THIS is the life I choose. I choose my edge. I choose to soar and follow my heart and no longer allow the (perceived) safety of secure employment/contracts to hold back my life purpose. The coolest part of my edge, I WAS ready. I just needed the push in order to trust myself. To trust that I am always taken care of and can handle whatever is thrown at me. Resilient.

The real gift happened when I said yes. YES when the universe gave me a choice after being pushed to follow my heart’s desire. My dreams to serve others on a full time basis and no longer just in my spare time. ALL my time!

 What is your edge? Is this having a tough conversation with a loved one and not knowing the outcome? Purchasing a new home or car and not confidant about the additional expenses? Choosing to start a family or change your career? Will you get the tools you need to trust your decisions? Whatever your edge - will you chose to soar, today?
