Mind the gap
They say ‘dream big’ and so I did. Really big.
My dream is that I am going to be a speaker who travels the world, using my unique blend of skills to help others. This vision is interesting in itself as I used to have a phobia of public speaking, but life is a journey and we face our fears and here we are.
My dream is great. I feel it’s real. I have already been asked to speak at two conferences. So I have tangible evidence that It has already begun to manifest — which I am very grateful for, but I want to have a bigger impact. So what do we do when we are in the gap between where we are right now and the future dream for our life?
The gap is sticky. When we want to live outside of our current reality, there is a gravitational pull to the state we are familiar with. We are trying to break outside our own notion of reality and we are dealing with the old programming that tells us we can’t do what we want to do. It feels like breaking through an invisible barrier — a barrier we ourselves have placed there.
This gap may take a while. I can hypothesize that the bigger the jump in our life, the longer we might be in the gap, but I don’t know this for sure. When I look back on my own life — big leaps in consciousness can come after being in the gap for a year, maybe two. Smaller leaps maybe a matter of months.
So what do we do in the gap? We have to hold our vision, look at all the old paradigms we have of our limitations, deal with them one after the other, and believe we can do it. We have to cultivate a trust in the universe. We have to take one small step of action after another. We have to know the universe is working on our behalf to make the best outcome happen.
Obviously this is harder than it seems when life gets in the way. But for those of you with big dreams, keep the faith and stay strong. But that is the game — we have to get out of our current reality and into a new one.
When you are in the gap know that this too shall pass, know that the universe will deliver exactly what you need in the most perfect right time.
