I learned years ago that when you go for something you want, there is a great possibility that you will be met by that well-known acquaintance, resistance. Resistance shows up for us in many forms. Often, it appears in the form of others around us being unsupportive. But even more often, it comes in the form of you, the person who has the desire, having to face your own fears of failure (or is it really the fear of success). Hmm…something to ponder. Nonetheless, the only thing that really matters is what you do, because even doing nothing is still a choice for something. So, will you give in and give up while conjuring up a myriad of excuses to justify your decision? Or, will you, despite the fact that fear might knock harshly at your door, step forward just the same? I would encourage you to do the latter. It’s your life, your happiness, your Self we’re talking about here. If need be, get support. Do not convince yourself that there is no support out there for you. It’s out there and although it might not be your partner, a family member, or even your best friend, there is some group, some organization, or some person who would hold your vision with you and root you on!

Having an idea that excites and moves you is the same as having a direct link to your Higher Power. And remember this: if you have the idea, there are people who are waiting for you to be you so that they can benefit from your products or services.

This I have experienced: When success is yours, you cannot look back without feeling a real sense of pride in yourself. But a payoff that is just as important is that it feels so good, on a deep level, to be doing something that you love.  Happy New Years, everyone!
