On March 10th of 2022 I was afraid.
January 22, 2024
This was my actual journal entry:
I’m overwhelmed because I don’t know what to do . I feel lost, trapped, and scared.
Do I go forward and build a house?
Is it worth the investment?
If I don’t, where do I go?
Where do I live?
One hundred percent uncertain of what to do and if it would work out.
It felt like I had everything stacked against me.
Fear
Uncertainty
I was still working to start up my business so funds were low
I was alone
Certainly not ideal circumstances to undertake building a home.
Despite the fear and uncertainty, I did it anyway. And as I write this, it’s sitting at my desk IN the home I built.
Keys That Unlocked My Journey:
Unyielding Self-Belief: I don’t fail. I am a solution oriented individual and I am very resourceful. I will always find a way to do whatever it is I need to do
Trust in a Higher Power: Everything always works out, just as it should
Learn to Ask for Help: I only know what I know. Creating a team of people who can help with the process and having a partner who can support me
Zoom Out: Creating a high level goal (build a house) and then breaking it down into smaller, one percent steps (research the type of house build, create a project schedule, create a budget etc)
But before those, I had to become the person who:
Has unwavering belief in her ability, knowledge, resource, and self
Has trust in something bigger, greater. I’m a believer in the power that the Universe has in creating amazing things and know that if this was meant for me, the path would continue to present itself
Puts their ego aside long enough so that I CAN ask for help. It doesn't mean I’m weak, or stupid, or I don't ‘got this’. It just means sometimes, I need help
Zooms out. Can see the big picture and not get consumed by the little details
This isn’t just about building a house. It was about becoming the person who could build it despite the odds. It’s also the same framework I’ve used over and over again to create the life I want instead of existing through and tolerating what I used to. And it’s what I guide my clients to as well!
I’d love to know, what challenges are you facing? You don’t have to tackle them alone!
