Leap

What is the choice you are going to make?  You can stay in the life you have built around you.  You can stay doing what people expect you to do, being comfortable but knowing there is more.  You can stay in the mundane, dreaming of another life.  You can disrespect yourself, your physical, mental and emotional body by ignoring the signals you are receiving- the ones desperately trying to tell you, ‘it is time to make some changes’.  You can keep going down the path of destruction- or you can take the leap of faith into the life you want to lead.

You know deep down if you don’t leap very, very soon you will live to regret it- or maybe you won’t live long enough to regret it.  Whatever the outcome you are heading to whilst staying in your current mould, is not what you want.  You don’t want to impact your loved ones by having to face whatever ‘wake-up call’ presents for you if you don’t change.  You won’t put them through such pain just because you don’t have the courage to leap.

Ultimately the people around you who are wanting you to remain the same, will understand once the leap is done, that it was meant to be.  They will recognise that you are a better person in your new life.  They will realise that keeping you in the life where they wanted you to remain was detrimental to you- and to them.  They will eventually come around to agreeing that holding you back, shoving you back in the box that is your current life, desperately trying to hold onto what currently is, is not going to serve them well at all.  Those loved ones that are frightened that you will grow away from them if you take the leap will ultimately learn that the way to keep you around, is to support and encourage your transformation. 

So taking the leap, with not everyone on board, is a risk but it is necessary.  There are probably many who do support your decisions and they will be there to keep you buoyant if the sea is turbulent at the beginning.  Those souls who have recognised your potential are ready to jump in and do whatever it takes to help you, no matter how hard it gets.  They are the people who recognise everyone has a purpose and if you ignore the signs that lead you toward that purpose, you face so many risks.  Be grateful to have those beautiful souls in your life and allow them to assist you if you need it. 

Many, many things can and probably will go wrong, particularly in the relationships with those who want to keep you in the box.   Pray that in time, and with some perseverance they will come around to see you following your purpose, and in doing so blossoming into the person you are meant to be, is worthwhile.  You just have to trust that it will all come together and work out, and if some relationships don’t survive, maybe that is for the best anyway.  You can’t expect that just for old time sake, every relationship will continue.  Those around you need to grow and develop too, just as you have to. 

Trust the Universe has your back and ultimately taking the chance will pay off.  Everything will fall into place when you take the leap, you just need to step off the edge and enter the next stage of your life where you are fully engaged in your purpose.  You will feel energised and will enjoy ultimate good health.  Don’t allow yourself to stay restricted in the life that no longer fits you. Spread your wings and fly, despite the risks.  The risks associated with not flying are far more frightening.  The person you are meant to be will emerge from the cocoon for good and there will be no shrinking back to the old you.  Allow yourself to blossom into a new life where you can be the person you have always wanted to be. 

If you know that you are not fulfilling your potential and are waiting for an opportunity to take a leap of faith into the life you want to lead, now is the time.  If you need support during your transition, Monica at Balance Wellbeing can help.
