I’m writing a comic book. Yes, you read that correctly.
Seems a bit left field, doesn’t it? Especially on the heels
of launching a transformational coaching/energy healing practice (and leaving a
“safe” job in the photography business).
But what is life if you are not pursuing your dreams? Why
are you here on this planet if not working toward the expression of who you
are? If the primary energy of the universe is love, then aren’t you honoring
love when you pursue what matters to you?
When I was recuperating from surgery that cured me from
cancer, I realized that I wasn’t fully expressing myself … I always had horses
in my life (a huge dream for me) and my spiritual practices but what else? What
else did my heart yearn for? If my time on this planet is now marked as
limited, what was I going to do with it? What legacy was I going to leave?
As I’ve written previously, I spent nearly seven weeks
recuperating on a couch, which meant that I had a lot of time to ruminate. One
of the things I uncovered was that there was a story buried inside of me. I
have always been a reader – I love stories and storytelling and consider it a
magical art. But I realized that I also wanted to create a story, to build a world and populate it. To take
characters on a transformational journey and share the experience. So I started
to transfer the story out of my head and into words. I took comic book writing
courses and met a group of people with whom I co-founded an indie anthology,
which debuted at New York Comic Con this past October.

Bully for me! Yes indeed, I have enough grit to follow my
dreams.
But …
There are times when I think that I am out of my mind, to
lay everything down on the line and try to make these dreams come true,
especially in a fairly new industry to me. What if I fail? Does this make me a
loser? I don’t report into an office any more, I don’t get a guaranteed
paycheck, have had to let go of many things that don’t contribute to my forward
movement and am now completely responsible for my own success. I wonder if
people must think that I am a ne’er do well, reduced in their esteem because my
decision has placed me in a more precarious financial position. In the middle
of a recession too! Do you hear my knees knocking?
I love the quote above – because it’s true. To pursue your
dreams is to take a risk. The fruit of one’s life requires a stretch. And many
times it requires a sacrifice. But no one talks about how absolutely scary it
is. When you think about pursuing your dreams, what fears come up for you? What
feelings, judgments, criticisms come up for you?
At this moment, I do not have an easy solution for dealing
with self-doubt. But I do realize that FEAR and self-doubt will walk the path
with you… The next question will be: how do you make them your friends?
More to come.
And please feel free to share your experiences with
befriending fear as you pursue your dreams.
Blessings!

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
