something weird and my latest teacher
I've got something weird to say today. But one quick thing first - last week I was talking with my client (who had come to me about career stuff), and we were talking about her work, her life, her vision for herself, but most of all, how she was relating to herself now. And then a flash of insight hit me. I tend to shy away from pronouncements, but I couldn't help myself.
"You came to me for the career stuff. That's why you're here. But that's not your journey." I said. "Your real journey is learning to love yourself. To be self-compassionate. And while you're on that journey, the career stuff will get sorted out too."
I could hear my client nodding over the phone. Something about this truth resonated with both of us.
And here's the weird thing: The universe provides. And I'm not talking about my client.
I'm talking about ME.
See, the reason this resonated so strongly with me is because I AM ON THE SAME F###ING JOURNEY.
I think the journey is about building my business, I think the journey is about writing a book, I think the journey is about helping others. But it's not. It's about loving myself. And while I'm on that journey, the rest will get sorted out.
You ever hear the saying "when the student is ready, the teacher appears"? I've found it to be incredibly true. And I am both student and teacher at the same time.
So go forth into your world with love. Love for yourself and love for others. It's your birthright to feel worthy in your own skin. I want it for you. I want it for me.
And we can. And we will.
Peace + 💙
