I was reading today, and there were three little words that pierced my heart.  I wrote them down and then could not get away from those words.

I needed to read those words, I needed a reminder. You see I’m tired, doubtful and feeling fearful.  I took a risk about a year ago, quit my job and started painting for a living.  I had a good following and steady income from my work, and the plan that I drew up, didn’t go like I planned.

I know that my story is so much the same of every entrepreneur, It’s hard, the hours are constant and I truly feel like I have lost my way a bit.

Starting a new business is alot like walking with a blind fold on.

I have been struggling to find inspiration to write and paint, so I thought that I would be vulnerable and let you know where I’m at.

I need to remember the light inside, the fire, the desire…. I need to make some space for quiet and restoration.

I need to reevaluate and make some changes to slow the hustle down. I’m not sure how that looks just yet, or how to even do that and still run a new business, work part time and invest in family and friends.

I will figure it out if I go back to “remember the light inside”.  I also need to remember that so often the doubt and fear lead the way to great change and new ideas.

Do you need to remember the light? Have you lost your way, or just plain ol tired? Try to make some space for quiet. I know it’s not easy, but if we don’t our bodies and mind will do it for us. Remember that the times that we struggle is the point that new ideas and motivation can happen. I would love to share in your journey and encourage you if you would like to share.

Maybe you have been there, and you know what I’m going through, I would love to hear from you, hear your wisdom from the trenches. Hear how you have managed the hustle, the doubt, the fear.

Thank you for walking with me, for listening, and allowing me to be vulnerable.

You are loved…….=Me
