What if I stopped believing it had to be hard?
i have a belief that ‘business’ and ‘work’ is so rigid, that it’s constrictive, that it has to happen a certain way - - that it’s only possible if x,y,z … and that it has to be hard. it has to be a struggle. it has to be a certain way … that life is that way in fact. but. what if that weren’t true? what if it were more imaginative than that? i know that by opening my mind beyond these types of limiting beliefs, it’s possible to make another experience available for myself. it’s possible to lean into the creative edges and explore the wildness there. I know that’s where the fascinating discoveries emerge, and where innovation lies. i know this from being around the start up world, from seeing the beauty in creative processes … that’s a gem that “entrepreneurship” can offer … it’s really about expanding the lines of what we can create, bringing the new through, opening up to emergence and possibility and what could become real. ideas begin in the energetic and imagination space before they ever take hold in reality… so we have to make room for them to take hold there before they could ever land in our tangible world and if we won’t even allow our minds to hold this possibility, they may never be able to rest there. so i can see how i have created an experience where that has to be true for me, and i no longer want to create that experience what i’m feeling right now is… what if building a business and ‘work’ were refreshing, nourishing, imaginative and creative? what if i weren’t a workhorse demanding unending hours from myself as an entrepreneur (… am I trying to prove something to myself there?) … and rather, I gave myself room and creative freedom to explore and express as it comes through me? I’m my own boss so i don’t really have anyone else to blame in this case! ha what happens if *i* give myself more space to be creative and flowing and then I might allow a shift in what i can actually create for my life, my business, my work … all the things …?
