“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” (Robert A. Heinlein – Time Enough for Love)

This quote by Robert Heinlein sure puts out the freedom here to everyone who ever thought they should fit into just one box! I am a multi-faceted being and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Of course, sometimes I forget, being human, and think I am just one thing and, that one thing and how it’s going represents my total contribution in this world – what poppycock! (love using that word)  Recently I got a lovely reminder about this from a documentary I saw on Neil Young (former member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young). He spoke of having to follow his creative muse, no matter what others thought he should being doing – that he could venture off onto any path that beckoned his creative juices. What a beautiful permission letter – on the most perfect stationary, written in my favorite font, with a golden calligraphy pen!

My business evolves as I do.  While one year I might create one thing, I don’t have to repeat it if it no longer fits me or my clients.  I can adapt with flexibility.  I can engage inside myself and see what is calling to me – where the spark is for my passion today.  This keeps a real aliveness present as I meet myself where I am.

Where are you limiting yourself because you think you have to do it a certain way?  What is actually present for you now?  What would bring your passion alive?  And here’s the most fearless question of all:  What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

I’d love to hear your comments on this, or any of my posts.  Let’s bring forth your authentic self now!

To living the joy, wherever it shows up,
Victoria
