This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

I’m sitting in front of my easel working on a very large drawing. 

Every so often it is so complicated, I find myself wanting to walk away, and at times I have, for months, unclear about my next step.

Invariably, when I do take the next step, the answers are revealed. 

The longer it takes me to take the next step, the longer those answers wait for me to be revealed. 

Today I’m sitting here in another tangle on the drawing where shadows are dancing on the top of slabs of rock.

The shadows from the rock are different than the shadows from the trees above the rock. 

It is very complicated because of the texture of the stone and what I want to convey. 

Just like in another area of the drawing, it feels like I might fail or I can decide that the drawing is taking me somewhere and all I need to do is listen and be taken there. 

I’m telling you this because it’s an analogy for life. 

You are creating and you don’t know what it’s going to turn out like yet.

You have a vision for it, and predominantly you have a feeling for how it is going to feel to have it done, to attain it, but you don’t know all the steps that are involved in getting you there. 

If you sit in uncertainty instead of taking action, you don’t get new information and the fear and trepidation gets bigger.

I am thinking about you today as I am drawing. 

I am in the work just like you. 

I am a constant student of expansion, growth and creation.

I still have times where I feel nervous and want to walk away, but I know from experience that doesn’t take me anywhere.

If you need to walk away for a while so you can clear your mind and come back fresh to see something anew, do that, but don’t let that last for months. 

Have a beautiful day.
