Allow yourself to feel abundance now

What frame of mind propels us toward that holy intersection of need and passion?

It’s faith in own inherent value as creators.

We believe that someone somewhere is searching for exactly what we have to offer. No matter how many rejections we receive, no matter how many people shrug off our enthusiasm, and matter how many of our ideas are met with nothing but yawns and golf claps, we retain a sense of faith that what we’re moving toward is already done.

It’s only a matter of time.

All of my jobs were preceded by literally thousands of failures. Hundreds of hours of filling out applications and networking and interviewing. That process was exhausting, demoralizing and lonely. And there were multiple times when my faith had worn wafer thin.

But that little lamp of idealism never stopped burning. Not fully. Thanks to my genetic makeup, and thanks to my robust support system, there was always a burning ember left where my raging fire once glowed.

Reminding me, psst, someone somewhere is searching for exactly what you have to offer. Just stay in motion. Keep your opportunity flow open. Each season will be marked by new, enriching challenges. And it’s only a matter of time before your deepest gladness meets the world’s deepest hunger.

How are you teaching your brain that the world is more abundant than you thought?
