In the last two years of my business there have been moments when I seriously thought about throwing in the towel. Moments when I thought I’d be better off dropping my dream all together and jumping back into the work force.
It wasn’t because I didn’t love what I was doing. Not at all.
It was because things got hard, I got frustrated, and I felt lost.
I felt stuck and instead of listening to my intuition, I ignored it entirely.
Instead of asking for help or allowing it in, I thought I had to do it all by my little lonesome.
In short, it sucked!
And as I write this I am getting ready to celebrate my 2 year anniversary in my business in just a few days and I couldn’t be happier! I can’t believe I made it this far and what was once only a dream is now my current reality.
I had a TON of reasons I could’ve quit before. I could’ve quit because:
- Money wasn’t flowing
- Potential clients were saying ‘No thanks’
- Things got really hard
- I didn’t know how to move forward
- I was afraid I’d put all of my passion and it wouldn’t ‘work’
But despite it all, ultimately, I loved what I was doing.
When I get calls from clients telling me they took their big leap into something they never thought possible, I remember my why.
When I cry with clients as they have amazing breakthroughs and aha’s because I can relate to them so much, I remember my why.
And when I have that first call with a potential client who is sharing with me their hopes and desires for what they hope their life will become with my help, I remember my why.
The truth is this work that I do is far more than just a business. It’s my passion and purpose and despite the fact that things have at times looked as though they weren’t ‘working’, that passion has never ceased.
When you are moving in the direction of your dreams with passion in your heart and purpose in your soul, there will be lots of moments of learning, growing, and evolving.
There will be times when you want to quit. Times when everything on the outside looks broken and you wonder if it will ultimately work.
There will be many, many, many reasons to throw in the towel as you wonder if you are strong enough, smart enough, or if you are doing enough to make your dreams come true.
And the ONLY time you should quit, is if that passion and purpose have gone.
When your heart isn’t in it and the love for your vision transforms into something else as it may, that is the only time you should ‘quit’.
But honestly, that isn’t even quitting in my book. That is simply a transformation of a dream into another vision that lights you up and sets your soul on fire and that can never be deemed a failure nor are you a quitter.
Dreams unfold and transform as much as we do and while you may have many reasons to ‘quit’, don’t do it unless your heart truly isn’t in it.
Keep going. Keep reaching. Keep dreaming and trust in the passion in your heart. When you do…magic happens.
