“To discover new oceans you have to have the courage to lose sight of the shore” André Gide
This quote is the first one that I remember from when I was a child and it has been such a guiding light for me!
You know those times when you have one foot here: day-dreaming about a better life, better relationships, more money, a better job, etc and then you have another foot in what-is…challenging relationships, an hourly rate which doesn’t justify your true value, a job that is so-so but not quite lighting you up…
The gap between your imagination and the present ‘reality’ is not permanent – if you choose to change it.
If you choose to close the gap.
If you choose to close the gap.
If you choose to make your imagination a new reality.
If you choose to have the courage lose sight of the shore/current reality and choose to discover new oceans – as in the inner day dreams, your imagination.
Those deep heart desires don’t go away; they may get quieter but they will always simmer underneath.
Until one day when you decide to write the book, teach what you know through business, go after your passions, manifest your dream relationships, negotiate a pay raise/promotion or find a job doing what you love!
For me, I’ve always hated that feeling of knowing what my heart desires are and not experiencing them in my while – hence why I’m always evolving, trying different things, unleashing my creativity and exploring new lands – internally and externally.
Being a teacher of French, and naturally a mindset coach, gave me the skills to help my students close the gap of not knowing how to speak the language to love learning with me even though they still hate languages (haha let’s admit, most people think languages are difficult!)
Courage over fear – love over fear – faith over fear – trust over fear – it’s all within you! And you get to choose which one to focus on!
