Taking Action

Have you ever felt called to do something in your life? Felt like your purpose has been determined since forever, but you’ve hesitated to take action? Stop! Start giving yourself permission to live the life that you want. 

“Now I know that when I have a desire that means that the potential is there, the option is there, and also the money is there.”

-Emily Williams

This is coming up because we’re launching the I Heart My Life Signature Course which has been a long time in the making… and it’s based off of my book, I Heart My Life. As we’ve started creating the course I’ve stepped back and thought through all of the things that came together that resulted in me writing my book.

The biggest thing that popped up for me was the permission piece. You see, I always knew I wanted to write a book. I love to write and I actually got my student visa to London to take Master’s classes on writing books. I wrote a book during that time that may or may  not ever be published, but what I realized is that I truly wanted to be published.

When the opportunity came up for me to write I Heart My Life I knew that I wanted to write it in a place that I felt inspired. Which brought up so many other things for me. Listen as I share the mindset blocks that I had to work through and why looking back I’m so happy that I did give myself the permission to write my book the way I wanted to write it.

Quotes: 

“There was this piece around permission and what our mind likes to do when we decide to take action, go in a different direction, maybe even spend money or do something that could be deemed as selfish. Our mind likes to bring up every excuse in the book not to actually take that action.” – Emily Williams

“Now I know that when I have a desire that means that the potential is there, the option is there, and also the money is there.” – Emily Williams
