Permission: Getting in touch with want you want

You always know what you want. Always.

Sometimes however, things get in the way of us getting in touch with that.

Things like fear. Things like worrying too much about what others might think. Things like the fact that you may hurt someone a little. Even though in the long run, you're both better off. Things like, mum having something to say about it. Or telling yourself you're confused because there are "so many pro's and cons".

But truthfully, deep inside of you, and inside of everyone, we always know exactly what we want. It takes a little bit of courage an awareness, then, to simply get in touch with it, and then speak up for it. Or ask for it.

In my coaching, my clients always say, "But who am I to think that it's OK for me to do this?"...

And it never ceases to break my heart. To know that every single one of us, at some time, were taught to think that it's not OK for us to have exactly what we want, the way we want it. It's not OK to go for what we want without struggle or fear. It's not OK to speak up for ourselves and ask for great, when we're quite happy with good.

Todays blog post is dedicated to you, if you just need that extra little bit of permission today, to just go ahead and frigging own it.
