I had a goal recently. I shared it with my accountability buddy.
She asked me, “What are you willing to do to make it happen?”
“I’m not sure,” I told her.
“Why are you stopping yourself?” she asked.
Excellent question.
Why was I stopping myself? Why was I not willing to do whatever it took to reach my goal? Why was I holding back?
Because sometimes holding back, in a land of excuses and victim stuff, is just plain easier.
Sometimes going for it, full-on, means saying “Yes” to the most powerful part within ourselves, the magician, the manifestor, the miracle maker.
And sometimes I don’t want to admit that she’s there.
Because if I admit that then I can do anything and, frankly, that can be scarier than not doing it at all.
We are powerful creatures, us women.
Capable of giving birth, having 30-minute orgasms, and creating miracles.
We are stronger than we realize. More powerful than we know. And more capable of magnificence than we often acknowledge.
Sometimes that’s just a little overwhelming.
So we hide out in the land of “I don’t know how. I don’t have enough time. I don’t have enough money. I don’t know enough. I can’t do it.”
Except that we don’t just shortchange ourselves, we shortchange the world.
And we and the world deserve more.
This is the beauty of sisterhood. Support. And hard-ass questions.
And it’s the reason I’m putting together the Feminine Force Entrepreneur Hub: for sisterhood, massive support and occasionally hard-ass questions. Stay tuned.
BTW, that goal I shared with my accountability buddy? I reached it.
Because sometimes we find that place within where we love that power, we honor her and stand up and live her.
And sometimes we truly rock the world.
