Hello, -- Behind every successful person is a story. So many of these stories I have heard have similar elements. One is that the person followed a strong 'hunch' or feeling toward a certain or series of certain decisions that propelled them on
the path to their Destiny. A second element that many successful people have in common is coming to their success from very challenging circumstances. A third element is taking a risk to do something different and leaving the world of 'certainty' through steady paychecks to the dicey situation of following a dream or Universal Signs.
One such person is Maynard from the creative project/band 'Tool'. I heard his story today and got chills all over as I listened to the
details.
Maynard had difficulty at home with a mother whom he loved dearly having a debilitating and worsening condition. At some point, he heeded the call to leave his family and farm life and move to Los Angeles, California. Somehow figuring out how to financially take care of himself and pay for art school, he stayed his course. An opportunity presented itself when people he met through his neighborhood, and school showed themselves to be potential major players
in a creative project that seemed to form itself. Each member of this group (which became 'Tool') had already established an artistic future for themselves with good pay. They each had to make the choice to move on with certainty or step into the risky unknown to follow the chemistry of this group that magically formed before them. They each chose to abandon their set paths and step into the 'feeling'. We all know how that turned out! Tool has become a creative
project that keeps on creating, testing the boundaries of accepted realms.
So many of us have those 'hunches'. So many of us have come from challenging circumstances. and ultimately most of the successful people I know reached the point where they had to take a risk when it felt like it was 'time'.
I have my own story with this that took me from the 'golden handcuffs' of a corporate job to owning my own businesses, living my creative expression, working from
home, and traveling with my family without the constraints of someone else's schedule or demands.
It often takes some time and accompanying consistent, focused intention to create a new path, a new life experience. But it is all worth it when the path and experience crystallizes.
The first step is making a clear decision about what you want, then leaving room for the Universe to help you co-create it. Others have done it - YOU CAN DO IT,
TOO!
Blessings on your process!
