The entrance to 'somewhere else'...
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
The world as we know it has stopped working…
Now most mainstream forms of media will have you believe that this is a bad thing. Personally I believe it is a good thing. As the playwright Thomas Stoppard wrote ‘every exit is an entrance somewhere else’.
Five years ago I was convinced that an incredibly exciting ‘somewhere else’ existed. I had no idea where that somewhere else was but I noticed that I had an undeniable curiosity to find out. With that curiosity, I decided to leave my own comfortable corporate existence so I could do some investigations of my own…
From an intuitive standpoint, the best place for me to start appeared to be spending more time doing the things that I loved and then expressing them through a business.
When I started creating a business doing what I loved something very interesting started to happen…
I started to attract other interesting people into my life who were also doing what they love.
Up until the age of 28, I’d probably really only met a handful of people who could honestly say that they absolutely loved what they did for a living. Sure there were many people who said that they ‘kinda liked’ what they were doing (often for fear that their boss might somehow be in ear shot), but very few who were actually following a true calling to express what was most important to them.
Today, my life is filled with people doing what they love.
5 years on, my life is filled with people who are actively pursuing the things that they love. The clients that I serve, the people who attend my workshops and coaching programs, the people that I interview through my online radio show as well as my closest friends, all of them are in the process of stepping through their fears to uncover and express what’s most important to them.
We are all searching for a feeling…
Underneath all the superficialities of modern day living, we all share the same common yearning. It’s the very thing that makes us human. We all yearn to be recognised, acknowledged, loved, and accepted for the unique talents, gifts and abilities we have come to share with the world.
Witnessing the ground swell of people in my own life who are actively exploring and living out this possibility, provides me with great hope for this new world that is being born right now.
So my question for you is where is that ‘somewhere else’ for you?
The deeper aspect of you knows exactly what I am talking about.
How could things be different for you and indeed the world, if you just took that next most important step?
