I don’t believe we have to struggle through life. I believe that if we are open and curious life will lay before us the next opportunity to collect and gather the tools necessary for our sweet journey of life.
As I write this I’m sitting outside the production studio of a Grammy Award-winning producer while three brave girls are gathered inside recording. They will work hundreds of hours just for a single opportunity to break into the industry. It is an absolute honor to watch the passion and dedication they put into achieving their goal.
I’m new to the music industry and yet I feel a deep level of comfort here. This world attracts the same kind of courageous souls that I am attracted to in other industries that I work in. You know the type I’m talking about. Those individuals who are lifelong learners. The same ones who have dreams—big dreams that require hard work, discipline and tenacity. The same courageous individuals who face rejection . . . and are still open to getting back up and knocking on that door again. The ones who put themselves in the line of the fire and ask for critiquing — all for the purpose of getting stronger, clearer and better. I resonate so strongly with those inspiring creative visionaries that pick themselves up to go at it again once failure shows his challenging face.
We are taught to take steps and stay the course to make progress. It’s absolutely true that step-by-step we CAN reach our goals. And it’s also true that could take years to a lifetime. Most of us also have this little inner spark that tells us “there is a more efficient way” to make things happen. I have been on the path of self-awareness . . . personal mastery . . . self-help . . . for decades and let me tell you I could sum it all up as a spiritual journey into my “self”. It has been a dynamic and truly amazing journey and I know that I’m just scratching the surface of what is to be discovered.
WHAT I DO KNOW is that this isn’t always a step-by-step process. This journey (life) has shortcuts and round-abouts and Quantum Leaps. Yes! Quantum Leaps! Those experiences that will take you from step 1 straight to step 10 in a single experience. Yes, these are rare and often you cannot predict when they will show up in your life. However when they happen they are unforgettable and undeniable.
I have found that the fastest way to Quantum Leap toward personal mastery is through intensive workshops with teachers who guide you there. Sure you can get there . . . eventually . . . by just living life. Yes, these learnings and wisdom will eventually show up in your life and if your eyes are open — and your heart is willing, you will learn and move onto the next step. I’m too impatient for this slow process.
If I desire something then I go get it or make it happen. I have also learned amazing techniques and acquired proven tools that I share with clients to Quantum Leap their learning process. I don’t believe we have to struggle through life. I believe that if we are open and curious life will lay before us the next opportunity to collect and gather the tools necessary for our sweet journey of life. It takes a commitment from each of us and also the ability to take action into the direction of our dreams.
There is something really beautiful about following your dreams. As we do make plans, take steps and achieve goals moving us toward our dreams it is exactly here that our personal growth unfolds. Follow your dreams.
I invite you to commit to yourself that you will make your learning and personal growth a priority by following your dreams. That you will stay curious and open your energy to allow new perspectives and opportunities to show up and guide you in a direction to become an even better version of yourself.
Are you ready to Quantum Leap?
XO,
Marianne
