There are so many times in my life I thought I wasn’t free.

I thought I wasn’t free, so I agreed with my grade 5 teacher that my art project was bad and labelled myself “unartistic”.  Until I decided to believe I was artistic after all.

I thought I wasn’t free, so I went into Commerce like my Dad thought was best.  Until I decided I could pursue a degree my Dad didn’t understand or approve.

I thought I wasn’t free, so I danced seldomly and with shame for decades after my boyfriend told me that I was clumsy and awkward on the dance floor.  Until I decided I was free to dance joyfully my own way.

I thought I wasn’t free, so I became an economist at the urging of my professors.  Until I decided I was free to stop working in a profession that didn’t interest me.

I thought I wasn’t free to let people see my imperfections.  Until I decided to believe that the people who mattered would love me more because of them.

I thought I wasn’t free, so I limited each new career choice to one that would “make use of” my education and work experience.  Until I decided I was free to do something brand new and with no training at all.

I thought I wasn’t free to show up in boardrooms in clothes judged by men as too feminine.  Until I decided to show up powerfully and professionally in high heels and fashionable clothes.

I thought I wasn’t free to leave a high paying job when my family was relying on me.  Until I decided to make money doing something I loved.

I thought I wasn’t free to stop striving and efforting in my business.  Until I decided to create more value from a state of grace and ease.

I thought I wasn’t free to share unconventional coaching tools and philosophies that might be misunderstood.  Until I decided to offer everything I’ve seen work, not just selected bits and pieces.

I thought I wasn’t free to love myself unless I did the right things, said the right things and felt the right things.  Until I decided to love myself always and no matter what.

I thought I wasn’t free.  Until the day I decided I was.
