Business Owner Success – Expansion of Self – Bad with the Good

Business Owner Success – Expansion of Self – Bad with the Good

Video Transcript

Have you noticed in life there is kind of like a safe zone, there's just like a middle zone where it's socially acceptable, you know, you're not making anyone feel bad, you're not making anyone feel stupid like there's a space that, I know, I have felt my whole life that I need to be in. You know, kind of finding that middle ground taking my positives and my negatives and finding that middle ground. One of the things I have seen in people who highly succeed in life, and working with entrepreneurs for over 20 years, what I've noticed is the ones who really succeed are the ones who don't force themselves in this grey zone. We have a polarity to us: we have good thoughts, we have bad thoughts, we have strength, we have weaknesses, and a lot of times what I see is entrepreneurs  especially will try to force those bad parts, those weaknesses the things they don't  like as far away as they can and then try to hold on and  grab on to the pieces that are good. Where the power lies and where  I've seen the power expand is when we take on the polarity of ourselves. This is a space where we say: "I am so brilliant! And I'm good at what I do! And I'm also learning". This is the space where you say: "I want to shine my light  and I'm going to be bright!", even though it may make people feel  insecure about themselves. Knowing that their are these extremes that actually make up who you are and trying to dim them it dims your greatness. This was something that I've worked on for years and I've gone through so many different person developments, meditations, and levels of self, to really open up my shine because I've always been afraid that  I would blind people. When I really showed who I was I  felt like people just pulled away so it was kind of like "oh no, I can't do that" and being in the... just being with self and in that polarity knowing that I am brilliant, I am really good at what I  do with businesses, I'm also dyslexic with a speech impediment and knowing that I'm dyslexic and knowing I have a speech impediment has really made me pull in my brilliance for so long. Until I just accepted that those were two different sides of me. What would it be like in life to be okay with being loved and being hated at the same time. We live in a world where we want people to love us but we're afraid of them leaving us.
What if you could have both?
I really don't think this world  is a this or that type of space. It is this and that, you can really have it all. For me, I can be a business  owner and I can be a mother. I can be a wife and at the  same time being a friend. You know, there is a balance and an openness  and the expansion of self that happens when you look at the polarities and instead of making one good and one  bad, you embraced them all and when you take on that space in the world, you were able to really shine and glow and expand in the world. My call today is to give yourself permission to embrace the sides of yourself that you maybe don't like or are not your favorite and know that this is part of the polarity of who you are. Can you give yourself the permission and allow yourself to coexist within all the spaces that make you - You. Because if you do, the world will open up and there's so much freedom, so much self expression so much love and joy  for self and others then you can ever imagine.
