Sometimes I have these crazy ideas… ones that feel scary and exciting and almost impossible. I say ‘almost impossible’ because although there is a voice that says ‘ooh, this is really big, too big for someone like you’, there is also a voice that says ‘what if I COULD do this, though? What if it WAS possible?’.
Can you guess which voice I usually follow? 😉
Even though I follow the ‘What if I COULD do this?’ voice, I’m still normal and I still have fear and doubt in me.
What if this is NOT the right path for me? What if it really IS impossible?
I’ve been following my intuition for years now, and I’ve learned to see the signs that tell me I did the right thing and chose the right path. I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.
Here are 5 ways you can tell that you’re in the right path & making the right choice:
- It just FEELS right. It sounds super simple, TOO simple, but don’t underestimate your own power to just be able to TELL that you’re going the right way. When something feels right, it also feels light and exciting, and you WANT to do it. You may feel scared, but it’s a fear that you’re willing to work with.
- The idea or opportunity keeps coming at your repeatedly. A few years ago, I wanted to switch jobs within my organisation, to something more flexible and less stressful. I asked the universe for the perfect job for my needs, and kept running into a friend who would be retiring and so vacating a position that seemed to fit my needs exactly. But I was afraid it would be boring, and I kept saying ‘no, it’s not for me!’. I kept bumping into my friend, and this job kept coming up in conversation, and then I started randomly bumping into other people linked to this job in some way. When not one but three of these perfect-for-me jobs came up, I decided to apply, and got one of them. It was the best decision I could have made, and was exactly what was perfect for me and my situation at the time.
- You receive support from unexpected places. When Karina and I first announced that we were thinking about running a European conference for soul-ful and heart-centred entrepreneurs, we received SO many offers of support! People wanted to help us with branding, marketing, web stuff, event managemement, all kinds of things! We followed up on these of course, and things started falling into place – including an awesome sponsorship deal from the lovely Jodee Peevor.
- Everything comes together in an easy & effortless way. The right opportunities and people are suddenly right there. Taking the No Limits! conference as an example again, it was super easy to put together the basic pieces. Karina and I have worked together before and it’s a fun and smooth partnership. My friend Michelle immediately offered to organise the logistics for us, and I know that we work together well too (we used to run a theatre company!). The right people showed up, including our amazing speakers. It seemed easy, we didn’t force anything, we kind of just watched the idea unfold. It’s still unfolding – click here to be part of it!
- It warms your heart and/or puts a smile on your face. Yep, the right steps are things that you WANT to do, that make you feel excited, inspired and happy. It’s true that some may instil fear in you too, but it’s an ‘OMG can this really happen’ kind of feeling rather than and ‘I don’t want to get out of bed for this’ feeling.
What idea ticks all these boxes for you? Will you follow up on it? Tell me in the comments!
Lots of love to you,
