Not sure which direction to take? *Swoosh* A clear path is revealed!
Fearful of the next step? *Ting* Fast forward a few months and you're loving it!
Holding yourself back because you want to fit in? *Swish* You are fully being yourself and the world is your oyster!
In my experience, most people are quite clear about what decision to make, how to handle a situation or how exceptionally unique they are, so why do we yearn for a magic wand? Because there is a gap between knowing something (deep down) and acting on that knowledge. And that gap can be scary.
Change is a funny beast. Sometimes we feel safer staying stuck; somewhere on a range between "Could be better" and "Arggggggh!" rather than open ourselves up to something unknown. It doesn't matter that the change could turn out way, way, waaaay better that your current state. The sheer possibility that making a change might result in something less than ideal can be enough to keep you feeling "stuck" for weeks or months!
A magic wand would offer a guarantee that everything will be OK. It would remove any element of risk. It wouldn't just reduce the gap, it would remove it entirely.
But if your retailer of choice is out of magic wands, remember these points:
- Trust yourself. You have more insight, vision and knowledge than you realise.
- Decisions rarely seem as big or daunting once you are on the other side.
- Know that you are creative and resourceful enough to deal with the impact of the change you want to make.
- Choosing not to make a change is still a choice.
- You are your own magic wand.
