I decided to stretch myself and say what I needed to say today. Five years ago, I was offered an opportunity to be a co-owner/officer of a small business. I had many frightened parts of my personality active at the time of agreeing to this partnership that I didn’t know what I was getting in to. It became clear to me early on that running this company with my partners was not something I really wanted to do, but I was too afraid to do anything about it. Many times over the years I thought about resigning my post but had strong frightened parts that did not want to give up ‘control’ and the ‘security’ from the extra money from the profits. I also had been indulging strong frightened parts of my personality that wanted to please a key employee that told me that he would resign if I ever stepped down as an owner. Today, I told my partners my intention to resign as VP/co-owner of the company. If they accept this, then I will continue to be an employee at the company and my former partners will become my boss. It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. With Love, David |

Hi David, Reading your words instantly triggers a FP on how others will perceive my actions. I can feel in mainly in my stomach and chest. I have taken some actions over the previous year that took courage on my part but others may perceive as simply foolish and idealist. I often find myself wanting to defend my decision or more regularly making fun of it in an effort to diffuse any anticipated ridicule from others. I often forget the last chapter in The Seat of the Soul; TRUST. The universe is so ‘loving’ that there is no decision that I can make that will not support me. I also would like to acknowledge your courage. Thanks for sharing. with love, |

Thank you Eric, Shortly after I posted this, the frightened parts of my personality that want to please started weaving their stories about how horrible this was going to be. I had so much pain in my stomach that I felt nauseous and I thought my head was going to explode. I then thought, oh no you made a mistake, why did you do this? But I am setting my intention to remember that this is a frightened part of my personality that I want to heal and I don’t need to make an excuse, defend myself or blame others for my decision. My intention is to keep my heart open as I communicate with the people in the company while feeling the pain of powerlessness that no doubt will continue to come up. With Love, David |

Hi David, This sounds familier to me. A few years back I decided to switch jobs within the same company. The position I left was something many people feel is the coolest job ever. My fp’s were sayng don’t do this what will others think. How can you leave such a great job. I was identified with this role. Something inside me knew that the correct choise was to give up this position and move on. I listened to that intuition. For years when asked what I did I would say well I use to have this job now I’m working in finance. My fp’s needed to let everyone know why I chose the to make the decision I made. I am forever greatful that I listened to my intuition. Thanks for your post Love, Joanne |
