| LOCATION: On the sofa bed in the charming southern Paris flat of Morgane et Pierre-Etienne |<\/strong><\/p>\n

So. You\u2019re on the verge. You\u2019ve set out to create that massive step up–the huge leap in your career, publishing or launching your life\u2019s work or a new business, the jump to leave your safe job and travel the world, or the moment of opening your heart to the relationship that could break it for real.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been preparing. You took each next step. You thought you were ready. And all of a sudden, you wake up in the middle of a Class-4 tornado. Everything is shifting, and fast. Your every day feels like earthquakes where everything you depended on as solid is suddenly swaying, concrete is rolling in waves–wha–?! Nothing is as it was. You can\u2019t stay here one minute longer–and you can\u2019t see what\u2019s next! Make that jump? Into what?! Where\u2019s the safe landing? Where is ANY landing?!!<\/p>\n

Welcome to the external perimeter of your subconscious comfort zone. Like that? No? I\u2019m not surprised. This is where you question everything. I mean everything. Is black, black? Is it raining or sunshine?–I don\u2019t know! Do I love him? Is this really the city I live in? Maybe this is a Vonnegutesque dream where nothing is real\u2026<\/p>\n

Even your skin feels foreign.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s crucial right now for you to clarify. Ask your heart and intuition WHERE<\/em> it is you want to go next<\/em>. What you want is a feeling<\/em><\/strong> before it is actual. Tell your head to butt out.<\/p>\n

What you want may mean money–a financial feeling. How much do you require as you take the leap, or maybe what you want coming in is<\/em><\/strong> the leap. You’re NOT in a place of having to scrap and shift. Let go of the poverty story when you\u2019re on the cusp of what you want. It will screw things up. Let it go now. It takes real bravery to think Big and to hold onto that firmly.<\/p>\n

The change you’ve set in motion can work FOR you if you access your deeper presence–use the tornado.<\/p>\n

Be<\/em><\/strong> the tornado instead of being in<\/em><\/strong> the tornado.<\/p>\n

You can do this. The feeling of instability, or the constant shift and challenge haranguing you, is part of the shift. Breathe. And keep breathing.<\/p>\n

Your focus must be on the feeling and the new reality you are so clear that you want. WANT IT. WANT IT every single moment. This is where your bravery kicks in and you hold bravery in your hand like it\u2019s a fist full of solid gold. 24 karat.<\/p>\n

What you’re really confronting is the Imposter Syndrome–your Ego’s hail-mary-go-for-broke play to get you to stay where it’s comfortable.<\/p>\n

Remember, you hold all the cards. Don’t suddenly think otherwise. YOU hold all the cards. And they’re your cards.<\/p>\n

You are already equipped to do what you want to do on the level you want to do it. Do not sell out now. This is where you practice holding that gravity inside–that gut tightness of what you want. It\u2019s showing up, it\u2019s there. You can feel it even though you can\u2019t see it. You can taste success, fulfillment, happiness, exhilaration. Keep tasting it. That\u2019s all you. You can do it.<\/p>\n

Once it’s happened, once you realize that dream or goal, you’ll look back and laugh–it wasn’t so hard or as big as it seemed.<\/p>\n

…or maybe it was \ud83d\ude09 But you did it.<\/p>\n

Sending my love and hugs and my total belief that \u201cYou’ve got this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
