Which Way? Choosing Expansion Over Fear

Eventually you come to a choice point... expand or contract?

Do you proceed forward knowing it'll cost you or do you retreat into the familiar?

There is nothing behind me to retreat to. It all burned away. Tower moments, ego deaths, and a total destruction of a life.

I got out alive and I am grateful.

I can't go any further, though. Not the way I used to.

Like when you come to the end of the path and there is a raft to take you across a body of water. That seems to be my only choice. Paddle into the unknown.

I can't take the old me with me. I need to leave her here.
She was a scavenger, a survivor, and stayed small.

Where I am going required investment in self, greater self worth, and the energy of thriving.

A bargain hunter doesn't belong in business. Always looking for the short cut or the half rate alternative. That doesn't scream success.

Poverty consciousness needs to be replaced with abundance consciousness. That doesn't just mean, change your thinking. It means change your doing.

Bargain basement vs penthouse placements.

I don't belong in the basement anymore. I'm not trash. I used to think I was. I used to let my self be treated as such. I've worked every hard to crawl out of the rubbish life I was living and step into the blessed one I am living now. But it is only beginning and the next stage means another ego death.

Death to the waif or beggar for time, money and attention.
Death to the woman who needed someone to come save her.
Death to the old business model that can't expand in its limited pot.

It is time for me to grow.

I am scared.

Much of me wants to contract, go back or run any other direction. Spirit has spoken. I know what I have to do. Each new investment in self is a declaration of "I am ready". (I'm not, but you fake it till you make you make it).

The new normal isn't normal until it isn't new anymore.

I am choosing expansion.
I am choosing me.
I am choosing faith. 🙏🏻

Love,
