1. It Might Be Time to Take a Chance on Yourself If…
By Christine Kane
I love the Law of Attraction. I believe in it wholeheartedly.
And you know what else I believe in?
Taking action, and taking chances.
This is not good news for some people.
In fact, every time I give a retreat, or offer a new program, I hear from so many people who are scared to take a
chance on themselves or their ability to uplevel. They’ve been taught – by their culture, by their families, or by their
teachers – not to trust in their own ideas and dreams.
This breaks my heart. Here’s why:
When it comes to your dreams and desires, at some point, you have to act. At some point you may have to get a little
scared. Maybe even a lot scared. You may have to step forward and give some weight to your affirmations,
visualizations and good vibrations. It’s the best way to let the universe (and yourself) know that you’re serious about
this dream of yours and about this life of yours.
Does that mean you have to give up on all of that good mindset stuff you’ve been doing? No way!
It just might mean that it’s time to put some legs on it. It’s time to act. To take a chance and take action. All of the
visualizing and affirming in the world isn’t going to do anything if you don’t step up to the plate, face some of your
fears, and make some kind of move.
Risk is different for everyone. For some, it’s a simple action, like raising the prices of your services. For others, it’s
a big giant change, like starting a business or moving to another city, or letting go of a dead-end relationship.
Starting a blog can be a risk. Taking a vacation can be a risk. Honoring your values enough to let go of a current
comfortable-but-toxic living situation can be a risk.
2. Sometimes it’s not really a risk. It’s just an action. But since it’s not what you’re used to doing, it feels like a risk.
I believe there’s a point when you know it’s time. You simply know that it’s time to take the chance or to take some
action. You might not know it consciously, but you do know it DEEPLY.
How?
Well, it might be time to take a chance on yourself if…
