Support is a Magical Thing.

Guys,It's been a while since I've written a blog. I've been focusing on building the material and resources for my life coaching business. I realized a few things while doing all that. I am a lot of talk, and not nearly as much action as I know I am capable of.Ouch.You won't find anyone as hard on themselves as I am. I am the first to say "That's a crap idea," "That will never work," "No one cares about that," etc., so when I actually decide to go through with something, it's because I've thought every possible outcome through, inside and out, good and bad. I've told myself it's stupid and lame, and then I still couldn't get it out of my head. That one idea has been through hell and back to finally be allowed it's time in the light, so when someone tells me that it won't work- I can stand there and tell them it will. Because I know it will. I will make it work. I've beaten it down in more ways than they could ever know, and I've brought it back every single time. The nay-sayers don't affect me. I am my own nay-sayer. The ones that get me are the ones who I expect to be my biggest supporters- suddenly telling me that I just need to accept my fate, and be like everyone else. That's when it hurts. It hurts even more to tell them they are wrong.Support is a magical thing. It helps people like me who beat themselves down, to be a little gentler. It helps those great ideas be realized faster, and grow stronger, because they have a sturdier foundation to sprout from. It doesn't matter if your support comes from a parent, bestie, spouse, pet, or anything else as long as it makes you feel empowered. Yes, you have the ability to feel empowered on your own, but you will always stand stronger when you are surrounded by others who care about you and your ideas. Make sure your support team knows how much you value them and how much they help you to achieve, and remember, you are part of someone else's support team, too. When someone comes to you to validate an idea, be kind as well as honest. Fair as well as constructive. You may very well be the cog that keeps their wheel spinning that day.My support team is invaluable to me. I need to get out of my own way sometimes, and they really help with that. They can only do so much though. The rest is up to me. It's time for more action. Less listening to critics or analyzing people who have already done it all. They aren't me, and I'm not trying to be them. I'm going to pave my own way. Make my own place in the world. See ya at the top, friends. Love, Jess
