I've got a question for you
Okay 22. But also really one.
You've gotta start somewhere.
And it's okay to start small.
We are supposed to start small, Nature demonstrates this to us, in no subtle ways, and with no exception. The oak was once a acorn; the ocean started with one drop. Every book has been one word, before becoming a page, and then a chapter... We go from one cell to an entire body - and it takes time.
Now what if we could let that be okay?
What if we could learn how to stay not only in the messy middle, but also in the budding beginning… of a new dream, a new story, a new adventure? What if we could understand patience is not only about being patient before it all starts, but also while it unfolds? What if it was supposed to take longer, in reality, that it was supposed to in our minds? What if everyone had started with an offer no one could understand and then slowly built their way up to a model everyone can follow?
What if it was not about others anyway, no matter how much we want to help, and do our part, and make a difference for this extraordinary world we live in and get to endlessly learn, unlearn and relearn from?
What if we were just meant to start here with this person or this word or this second and then meet our community, our body of work, our storyline?
What if we were safe in the now… and what if the future was not a place we need to reach, but a landing page we get to design? What if it was okay to start small… and what if it was okay to start right here, right now, with no clue of where to go next and how to get there?
What if it was not about achievement and only and ever about creation? What if there was nothing to achieve in the long haul and only one thing to create in the right now? What if it was the way of true achievement? Not to produce, not to consume… To be. To let ourselves create what our heart and soul are begging us to share.
What if our mind was craving the guidance of who we truly are… What if bully brain was exhausted of having to define us, when every line it draws around our personality ends up strangling the person we were meant to become?
What if the problems were not coming from the obstacles we encounter without but only from the unanswered questions we leave unattended, uncared for, unnourished and only echoed by the lonely cries of our darkest thoughts within?
What if the only way to feel limitless was to acknowledge our limits in the now and letting them be okay, be normal, be neutral, be the blessing which allows us to find the contour of our comfort zone… this invisible circle around us on the edge of which all of our growth happens?
What if you were meant to start exactly here and exactly now and exactly this small and with the exact amount of knowledge -and doubt!- you currently hold?
What would it change?
What would feel different?
What. Would. You. Start?
Do it now.
