41: Choose You On Day 1 And Every Day to Pumpkin Harvest...And Then Start The Cycle Again
As a child, I buried my favorite fish that had died. I wasn't sad. I just knew it would be ok. Without a doubt...as crazy as that sounds. The next morning, I went and dug my fish up...it was swimming around alive! I had buried my fish in a container of water. It was one of my Mum's most loved Tupperware containers from the 80's. I screamed in excitement "my fish is alive, my fish is alive"!
To this day, I don't know how my fish came back. I don't have an answer for you, but what I do know is that I had no doubt at all that my fish would be ok. Rock solid knowing that all is well.
Let's use this story to open the door to rock solid knowing in our creation/our project that we started yesterday. If you listened to Episode 40 and participated, we started a creation of some kind that we wanted to bring to life. Whether that's reading a new book or writing a book, starting a course, applying for new jobs, starting a new exercise routine, opening that coffee shop you always wanted, or creating that side hustle. Anything that we feel called to bring alive.
Today we spoke about the rock solid knowing that when we planted the pumpkin seed, there is a pumpkin to harvest in 70-120 days depending on the variety. We used this timeframe to show how we can focus on the pumpkin knowing it is there right now - just in a seed form. We won't see anything under the soil for some time, but we still need to be focused and disciplined every day to choose ourselves and our pumpkin FIRST!
When we choose ourselves right now in this exact moment at the starting day of seed planting and every day to pumpkin harvest day, others start to choose us too. Why? Because we chose ourselves no matter what everyday. We birthed our creation in love and held our vision of our pumpkin even when it was a tiny seed. Even when no one else saw it, we kept choosing our pumpkin through the highs and lows.
In 70-120 days...our pumpkin is here - that book you finished writing is ready to be published, your fitness changed from your new exercise routine, you finished the course you were wanting to always do, your song that you recorded is ready to be released, your products are stocked in your new shop outlet or online store...It could be anything.
The key here is to keep choosing self every day and stay with rock solid knowing. You don't tell the seed what to do or try to control it as it grows into a pumpkin. The seed innately knows what to do as it's held and supported and guided by the earth. It's miraculous!
Just like the seed, you are also planted in the earth, held and supported. You innately know what to do at each small step every day. Stay focused and disciplined on you. Follow the small compounding steps. Harvest time, your pumpkin is there to be shared, experienced, loved and then the cycle begins again with new growth, new creations, new expanded consciousness. You are miraculous!
Stay soft, stay gentle, stay kind.
With an open and grateful heart,
Melissa
