266: There is space for you
If you wonder whether your dreams are possible, this is the episode for you!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Tuesday to you. If you need a bit of a pick-me-up, if you need a reminder that you're not on your own, and if you need a reminder to keep going, well, you have come to the right place. Now, around here we tend to be the couragemakers and the rebel rousers. We're blazing our own trail, we're doing things our own way, and we're living a life according to our own values. And while there are so many elements of that we love, we'd be lying if we said that sometimes it doesn't feel a bit lonely. Sometimes it feels like it would be nice if more people got us, and sometimes it feels a bit frustrating because we can't necessarily see anybody doing what we want to do and we wonder if it's even possible. So today I want to share with you something that I found really helpful that came out of a conversation with my coach. We were having a conversation about how sometimes I'm worried about not being able to reach my dreams because I don't see anyone ahead of me doing it, and it would be nice to have someone to look ahead of me, not to copy their route, but just to know it's possible.
And she brought up a perspective that I just think is so invaluable, and I know it's really helped me, and I hope it's going to help you. She reminded me that if no one is doing it, then that means there's space for you. And that really changed things for me because I think we're so used to thinking, well, if nobody's doing what I want to do, then maybe that's for a reason because it's not even possible, and why should I even bother? But looking at it from this new angle, it is just full of so much possibility. Because if you look ahead of you and you don't see anyone that you can use as a beacon of light and a flicker of hope, It doesn't mean it's impossible. What if you saw it as a sign that there is space for you, and maybe you will become that beacon of hope for someone else? So whatever inklings of dreams you have, whether they're really clear or whether they're still a bit foggy, know that if there isn't somebody already doing it, that's not a sign to lose hope. And if there is somebody already doing it, See what you can learn from them, and also don't get discouraged because there is absolutely always space for you. No one has your unique combination of skills, talents, stories, strengths, experiences. You bring something to the world that nobody else has, and the magic is you do that whether or not you recognize those things in yourself already.
So keep going, know that there is always space for you, And know that right now you are that beacon for someone else. Have a good one.
