We are officially into the second month of 2020 and I’m going to be honest…it’s freaking me out just a bit.
2020 is a big year in so many ways and with a big move coming up for my family & some other big changes to follow, I’ve found myself swinging between over the moon excited & overwhelmed with all the things.
There is no doubt in my mind that the momentum is speeding up for us all and with that comes a lot of growth, expansion, and opportunities for us to put our money where our mouth is so to speak. And while most of me is trusting the process, there is a tiny (old voice) in my mind asking…
“Am I really ready for this???”
To which I typically respond…”Ready or not, here it comes!”
The more I think about all the upcoming changes, the more I start thinking about the idea of being “ready” for change. There have been so many times in my life when I have resisted change simply because I didn’t think I was “ready” for it.
I resisted starting this business because I didn’t think I was quite “ready” to be my own boss.
I resisted redoing my website because I didn’t think I was “ready” to make that kind of investment.
I resisted hiring a coach because I didn’t think I was “ready” to step up to the plate.
The list goes on.
Now that I’m approaching yet another big change in my life, I realize it’s less about being “ready” for the change and more about overcoming the fear of the unknown.
Change often means stepping into unknown territory and learning to trust the process.
Trust is something I am learning to do more and more every day. It hasn’t always come naturally for me, but the more I lean on my faith and trust that things are always working out for me (and for you), the more I see evidence to support that idea.
The truth is, change can be uncomfortable and scary but most of the time, it can be more uncomfortable if we simply stay where we are.
So let me ask you this…
What if nothing changes?
What if 2020 turns out to be 2019’s twin?
What if your dreams & desires, simply stay dreams and desires?
What if you continue to wait to be “ready” before you take the action to get started?
What if?
Don’t get me wrong, you always have a choice to stay exactly where you are right now and if that is your choice…own it! Live it, love it, and embrace it.
But, if the reason you are staying where you are is because you’re not sure you are “ready”, ask yourself how/when will you know you’re ready? What are you really waiting for?
Maybe the question isn’t ever about being ready.
Maybe it’s simply about being willing to embrace all that comes with the changes of life and choosing to trust the process as we lean into flow.
As for my change…it’s happening and I’m excited. And while there are what feels like a million things I still have to do in a short amount of time, I will continue to trust the process and know that everything is always working out for me (and you).
Big things are waiting for you in 2020 if you are willing to step into the unknown.
