If it really needed to happen, it already would have

I finally followed up on an idea I had … after 5 years.

Substack.

You’ve probably heard of it.

Since I’m a writer at heart and write a lot, I had the idea to start a Substack account to post my writings there too and, possibly, finding new readers there.

I never followed up on it.

Three years ago, I made another pivot in my business and threw out everything I wrote again.

Good thing I hadn’t started a Substack yet—I’d have had to delete that account, too. 🙂

Fast forward to yesterday.

I created my account and posted my first blog.

There was a time where I judged myself for not following up on my ideas. 

I thought I was lazy or scared of more visibility.

But when I tried to force myself to act on something, it never worked out and it sure as hell wasn’t easy or fun. 

Then, I learned to honor my inner wisdom.

If, for some reason, I didn’t do something, that apparently was the right thing—even if I didn’t understand it.

But the judgments and doubts were still there. 

Shouldn’t I do it after all?

Why, oh why, wasn’t I doing something I KNEW was important / a good idea / necessary?

Fast forward to now.

The judgments dropped, too.

I know that everything is exactly as it should be, whether or not I understand why something is the way it is.

It’s all life happening and unfolding through me, as me.

The mind still spins stories around this at times, but I no longer listen to its nonsense. 

If you have an idea you’re not acting on or wonder if you’re lazy:

Relax. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

If it truly needed to happen, it already would have.

Love,
