Finding the Faith to Fall

I've often heard the phrase, "Change is the only constant in life." Yet, for many of us, it's the scariest thing we face. As humans, we crave stability. We want to be comfortable, or "taken care of," but sometimes "comfort" is what stifles our growth the most. Big changes, like career transitions, or moving, or ending or beginning a relationship, are especially scary - I think it's actually the unknown that we fear.

"What if I don't like my new job as much," or "What if I miss them and want them back?" The good news is: change is the only constant in life. If one of your fears comes true, you always have the option to choose again.

In January of this year I made a massive move to Phoenix, Arizona, where I had NO friends or family. A couple months later, a global pandemic hit and I was deemed an "essential employee." Then, my two and a half year relationship ended, and soon after that I started this business. Needless to say 2020 has been full of change for me. The ups and downs have been massive and I'm so thankful for the wild ride it's been so far. I've grown SO much in the past 8 months and learned more about myself than I thought possible. As things continue to shift, I've decided that Phoenix no longer feels like home. Which brings me to the point above: you can always choose again. NO decisions have to be permanent, and NOTHING in life is mandatory.

Right now I'm finding myself in the middle of some of the biggest decisions, and life changes, in my life, and they're FULL of uncertainty. Eight months ago, when I made this big move, I made it knowing I had a place to fall. I had a secure job I was moving for, and a secure place to live. But now, I've quit my salary job (which also includes my housing), and I have nothing lined up. I'm leaping with the faith that I will not fall flat on my ass, and the knowing that even if I do, I will be okay. I'm leaving the place I've lived for the last eight months, to go somewhere completely new. I'm leaning into love, and faith, and trust that my higher-self will guide me directly to where I'm supposed to be.

The reason I'm sharing this is because I recognize that SO MANY people are incredibly unhappy with certain areas of their life, and the only reason they don't change them, is because they're afraid of the unknown. They're so scared to not have "stability" that they stand proudly in mediocrity, and just float through life. I WAS DOING THIS - for probably the last four years. Just hating my job in university housing, and only keeping it because it had some nice perks, and it was comfortable. But 2020 kicked me in the ass, like I think it's done to many people. We are waking up to our full potential. Our purpose. We've been given some time to really reflect on life, and sit with ourselves, and wonder: "if the world collapses tomorrow (a seemingly very real possibility), will I have done the things I wanted to do?" For me, the answer was no. So I'm changing that.

My plan is to keep you all updated with where life takes me, and the things I continue to find interest in. I plan to throw myself fully into my coaching business and helping others find their own authenticity and purpose. My plan is to love unconditionally, and learn something new everyday, and recognize that even if I have "plans," those can and will change. Always.
