Here’s some wise advice for highly sensitive people from a lecture that I attended from Suzanne Falter, the author of How Much Joy Can You Stand?
Talent and effort go together. If they do not, the talent will be wasted. –Giorgio Vasari
- There’s no such day as some day.
- Pursuing a dream can be easier than thinking about it.
- How much commitment do you have to your dream?
- How can you re-arrange your life to follow your dream?
- Surrender and trust your dream.
- Use your intuition to guide you where you need to go.
- Effort doesn’t have to be a struggle.
- Have a want to make a life that you want to lead.
- Make a written list of things that you want to do, but have been avoiding. Make a written list of why you’re not doing it. Fear is the most common cause for not doing what you’d like. Are your fears justified?
- Make a written list of how you can overcome your fears. Give yourself as many reasons as possible to overcome them.
- How can you give your gift to others?
The words in bold letters are the ones that I most relate to. Can you relate to anything that Suzanne Falter said? I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.
Mine is more of a diagram than a list. My biggest challenge has been repeatedly finding myself in situations where I’m being discouraged, sabotaged, hindered from being fully me & doing what I feel called to do, in the way it should be done. Most often I feel like the square peg being forced into a round hole. I am struggling to find the square hole!
I’m happy to see that How Much Joy Can You Stand? is still supporting you, Cliff. I published it almost 15 years ago! Where ever you are at in your struggle to be seen and heard is, amazingly, the perfect place. Honor it and it will honor you. And then … somehow … that square peg will find its right fit. Namaste.
