If you can attract into your reality
an example of someone acting on their joy
and being supported in their life by doing so,
that means you are capable of living it –
otherwise, you wouldn’t have been capable of perceiving it.– Bashar/Darryl Anka

“Leap of Faith” – What I Discovered
When I was in university in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, I landed a summer student job as a tour guide of a historic site called the Artillery Park. Back then, I had to wear a uniform, which I didn’t like. Since the pay was excellent, I just accepted it. I made up my mind that when I finished school, I would one day get an office job where I could dress professionally, wear suits, and attend meetings all day long. However, years later, when I was actually working in an office, I found that I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. In fact, I grew tired of going to the same place and talking with the same people day in and day out. I wanted to make a change, but didn’t know how.
The trouble was, I couldn’t just quit my job: I had a mortgage, car payment, debt – and of course I wanted to keep eating every day. I felt trapped. So, I did the next best thing. I decided to talk to people who had already done what I wanted to do. People who had taken a leap of faith and left the 9-to-5 world behind to make a living doing what they loved. I wanted to understand what gave them the courage to walk away from a steady paycheque in favour of the unknown. What I discovered surprised me.
I discovered that the people with whom I spoke had a different mindset. They simply thought differently than most other people. When it came right down to it, each of the people to whom I spoke weren’t following or listening to other people or “experts”; they followed the guidance they received from within. They followed their highest excitement. Surprisingly, that feeling led them to adopt beliefs which gave them the confidence to take a leap of faith, keep going, and do what they love for a living.
It was then that I realized that there wasn’t a specific set of beliefs or habits that you had to adopt in order to become successful. You have to adopt your own unique set of beliefs that make sense to you, in your own mind. For each person, those beliefs will be different. Once you identify and adopt your own powerful beliefs, you will then carry within you the internal fuel you need to propel yourself forward without fear, while trusting in a force that is far more intelligent and powerful than you can imagine.
