The Trapeze Act
Dear Savvy Friend,
I was in Miami last week attending Fabienne Fredrickson’s “Inner Game of Abundance” Retreat. It was fabulous. Fabienne is known for her business “Client Attraction”, and she’s taking things to a new level to realign with her life purpose, and modeling it in a very open and generous way. My intuition told me to attend as soon as I heard of it, and quickly my mind/Ego tried to shut it downwith “You already know ALL this stuff, Leslie. What could be of value here?” Thank G*D I didn’t listen. It was an incredible, valuable experience! YAY for shutting down our EGOs - if just for enough time to act on the inner wisdom that is our true guide!
At Fabienne’s retreat, I heard of this analogy that I knew I must share with you. And that is: Life is a series of Trapeze Acts.
YOU are swinging on a Trapeze bar - and you need to catch the other one. You can’t catch the other one, if you don’t let go. You MUST set sights on the other bar in order to let go. And you do this with the knowingness that the net is always underneath you, should you need it.
How many times have you fervently held on to that first bar, swinging as long as it would carry you, until it eventually comes to a halt because you didn’t let go and grab the other bar that was waiting for you?
We can’t grab that bar if we don’t have our eyes focused on it. Instead, we may hold on to that first bar, with all of our fears and doubts keeping our attention elsewhere, if not our eyes completely closed. Staying with the familiar - “at least I’m holding - and hanging on- to this bar.” That known bar is everything from the way you are use to being in the world (putting others first, afraid, selfish, too nice, lost) to situations that you’ve outgrown - you’re ready to catch that next bar of new work, a relationship, a next adventure.
I think of situations that keep us playing small, staying in the ‘knowns’. We must be willing to step into the unfamiliar, the unknown = the uncomfortable.
The net is always underneath us.
From my savvy heart to yours ~
