What goal, dream or idea have you been putting off for way to long? Ignoring that little voice as it pops into your head and sleeping on your future?
Or does the idea pop and then your brain starts saying things like ‘how will you do that, you’ve never done that before!’, ‘who are you to do that?’, ‘who will buy from you?’, ‘you don’t have the experience to do that.’, ‘what will people say if I do that?’.
I’m sure you have your own unique flavour of thoughts like this!
All these negative thoughts that swim through your mind when your genius strikes, how helpful are they!! NOT AT ALL, is how helpful they are!
In today’s letter I want to explore the ideas that we have allowed ourselves to be talked out of.
2 weeks ago, I had very similar conversations with my bestie Inga and my lil sister Pearl, about ideas that we have that we haven’t acted on. Creative ideas that have come to us, that we have talked ourselves out of acting upon. It got me thinking about all the ideas that die with people because we haven’t had the courage or the tenacity to go for them. Or simply, we allow life to get too busy. And yes, I use the word allow here intentionally. We do allow ourselves to not take action and spend more time managing our circumstances than becoming creators of our lives.
My question to them and to now you ‘What would happen if we followed our genius? If you just did that thing?’
What would happen if we stopped letting that negative voice silence our ideas and dreams and instead leant into it and took action?
The world would be so much richer place that’s for sure!
I believe deep in my core that we all have genius within. Each of us have an idea, a vison a something that the world needs. If we can see it in our minds, we can hold it in our hands.
Today, my challenge and invitation to you is to Unleash your Genius. Follow the idea, whatever it is, that you have been sitting on. What I know for sure is that someone, somewhere will need and love whatever it is you have to offer.
Let’s stop our minds talking us out of our dreams. Let’s stop worrying about looking silly. Maybe we just need to lean into the silliness, the fun, the joy and the excitement of a great idea and go for it.
So Reader, go for it. Act, follow your dreams.
You got this! I know you do!
With much much love and excitement for what you can create.
💛 Emma
P.S. I'm taking my own advice. On 20th June I'm hosting a Vision Board Workshop in Castle Douglas and I'm doing it because I nearly talked myself out of it entirely. Sound familiar?
There are 20 spots. It's a morning designed for women who are ready to stop waiting and start building the life they actually want. Come alone. Leave with a plan, a vision board and a room full of women who get it.
Save my spot
