Maybe I can

I had my last appointment with my career coach today. She carries the gravity of such simple and powerful wisdom. I’m starting to see how my thoughts, specifically my fear of judgement are keeping me from writing more and becoming the fullest expression of myself. There is this voice in my head and it says “who do you think you are?”

Why me? Why am I so special? What right do I have to believe in myself and my biggest ideas? That voice keeps me playing medium. I don’t play small but I have been playing smaller than what’s possible. Maybe I can write a book. Maybe I do believe in myself. Maybe I do belief in my ability to create big impactful work and live a happy full live without sacrificing my dreams. I focus so much on my will and my self-belief without really surrendering to the universe. Believing that I am allowed to do this. I am allowed to write and create and speak and become bigger. I believe in my ability to leave my comfort zone time and time again and it doesn’t have to be painful or all consuming. Maybe I can do this. All it takes is a shift in mindset.

I can be happy. I can be successful. I believe in myself.
