I have been reading this forum for a while but this is my first post. I hope what I say makes sense. This topic really hit home for me.
I can relate to your experience more than you can ever know.
Let’s see if I can explain this. Most of my life I have felt a connection to something but never pursued it as a career because I was always told I “should do this and that”, I should get trained in a specific field”, “you are capable of achieving xyz”. You know what? I did everything everyone told me to do for too many years. I did very well but I’ve never been satisfied. Why? Because my heart wasn’t in it. My heart was somewhere else and I had a longing to pursue a dream.
Finally, about a year ago, I was so stressed out by my work, I was putting in sooo much time and I just wasn’t getting enough from it considering how much work I was putting into it. Every morning I woke up and dreaded what I would have to do that day.
Finally, feeling like YOU did, with the same thoughts, I was at a loss. A very good friend of mine helped me to understand that maybe what I was doing just wasn’t right for me. My friend helped me to understand that the people I was working with “were not stepping up to the plate” as they should have, it wasn’t me, it was just not the right place and time. I knew I had done the best I could but things were just not moving along and I felt guilty about it. But after much thought and writing a lot of what I felt on paper, I realized I just had to detach myself and move on to something else. (Writing down your feelings and thoughts on paper really helps you to realize a lot).
So realizing I could not go further but I knew I had to earn income I pursued my dream. It has been effortless, fun, I have more income now than I did then, and when I wake up in the morning I don’t feel like I have a JOB. In fact sometimes I feel guilty for enjoying my work so much and getting paid for it.
So my point is, don’t give up on your project, put your thoughts out to the universe and detach yourself from the outcome. I suggest making a vision board, putting up pictures of what you want somewhere where you will see them daily and visualize and then forget about it.
When the time is right your project will be accomplished.
I’m not sure I understand this myself, but it seems like the universe has it’s own plans for us and often it requires us to take steps that will give us the ability to reach our goals. Sometimes we may not like the steps we take, or may not understand why we have to take them.
Hard to explain, but I think when the time is right it all comes together, you can’t force things to happen, it has to evolve through our energies and thoughts.
Soooo, that’s my humble opinion for tonight, I hope it helps in some way.
