It triggers you when you hear other people proudly share how much money they make, doesn’t it?
And it triggers you even MORE when those people are your very own clients, or people who got into the industry AFTER you.
HOW DARE SHE?! Doesn’t she know I was here first???
You WANT to be happy for them - because you know that if someone else has done it, that you can do it, too - but you’re not happy for them.
You’re jealous.
You recognize this feeling of jealousy right away, and instead of forgiving yourself for it, instead you BERATE yourself for feeling this way - even if only for a few seconds.
Deep down, you ARE happy for these people, but at the same time, you just feel badly about yourself.
Their success makes you feel less-than, doesn’t it?
You feel like maybe you just suck at this stuff. Like maybe you shouldn’t even bother at all.
You question why you even started in the first place.
You feel as though it should have “worked” by now.
You think about all the time you put into this, all the money you’ve invested in mentors + coaching + programs + courses, and you just feel….
ASHAMED.
You promised your husband it would have happened by now.
That you’ve be hanging out on private jets and driving fancy cars and having millions in the bank…
You’d be RICH by now!
Or so, you thought. But you’re not rich. You’re not hanging out on private jets or driving fancy cars and there certainly aren’t millions in your bank account right now!
And as you think about this, you just get angrier and angrier and also –
Sadder and sadder.
You think about everything you did “wrong”, in the hopes that things would turn out differently.
Every time you over-spent and invested way more money than you actually had available.
Every time you paid yourself less so you could funnel cash back into the business more.
Every time you spent the entire day in front of your laptop instead of engaging with your family - DESPERATE to make this work.
And you feel guilty.
You feel sad.
And right now, you just feel LOST.
You had the right intentions, you just got a lil’ lost along the way, as we all do.
And to be clear –
Please really HEAR this, okay? –
You NEVER did anything wrong. Ever. Not once. You have NOTHING to feel guilty about. You did what you could with what you had, and you did it for GOOD.
** DEEP BREATH **
You are NOT a failure.
You have NOTHING to be ashamed of.
You ARE worthy.
You ARE capable.
You ARE ready, now, to have what you want. You were ALWAYS ready - you just forgot.
It’s time now for you to make some new choices:
Choose to let go of the guilt you’ve been holding onto for so long.
Choose to forgive yourself for ever making you feel unworthy, incapable or not enough.
Choose to look FORWARD, instead of behind you.
Choose to allow yourself to be fully supported, guided & cheered on.
Choose to step back into the light. Choose to BE the light.
Know this:
ANYTHING + EVERYTHING is possible for you.
What it REALLY takes and what it’s REALLY about, is showing up, day after day, and giving everything inside of you.
It’s choosing to let your soul guide you.
Being relentless.
Deciding to never, EVER give up, no matter what, and to always go for what you want.
Trust is the answer.
Belief is the answer.
Consistency in doing the fucking work IS the answer.
Whatever you want is possible for you. You just need to decide to go for it.
