I Believe in Magic
Sometimes when big ideas and inspirations come to me, they are met with internalized voices of doubt. The sorts of messages we’ve all absorbed growing up swimming and breathing in societies steeped with ancient, not yet healed, fears. I have come to see that these voices are trying to protect me (as yours are trying to protect you). But oh, dear voices, living small is not where safety lies. It does not benefit any of us to live within fear and constriction. None of us need settle for that!
One particularly convincing voice that expresses tells me that what I think, feel and believe is “ridiculous, magical thinking”. I have spent much time engaging with this dismissal, wondering if I should throw my ideas out the window. Then - just the other night - epiphany - remembering! My ideas are magical thinking (minus the ridiculous part)! And that is a wonderful thing! I remember that I do believe in magic. And, truth be told, I am proud of that fact.
Magical thinking is imagining what does not yet exist. Imagining possibility beyond what we have yet envisioned. Bringing those possibilities to life.
Our world has been transformed over and again throughout history by magical thinking, believing, doing. You have engaged in it yourself in countless ways throughout your life. Yet it’s a skill we have collectively lost touch with. Re-kindling our magical powers is what will bring forth the changes our world is so calling for. It is what will allow us each to have the lives we most deeply crave.
What would you allow yourself to vision and try and do if you leaned into magical thinking? If you dared to believe in possibility. Possibility for your own life. What inside you might come out and be? What if your wildest dreams, hopes and visions are actually your most attuned knowings of what is possible?
Ask yourself! Feel what stirs in you when you do! Allow that to express. I see the possibilities glimmering. I see your own beautifully unique magic shining through. I really do!
I’d love to support you to explore and live from your own magic. Reach out for the deep support you deserve! Try as we might, we are really not meant to live our lives without it.
