Someone told me today they were ready to play. I awoke to three emails that described her steadfast desire to get out of her own way – once and for all. She’s ready to find out what stops her from taking action. Finding more happiness.
Do you remember watching children play the jump rope game Double Dutch when you were little? The intricacy of the two ropes moving through the air in opposite directions at warp speed as you sway back and forth, back and forth…to plot the perfect moment to enter the swirling chaos. The quick rush of the air in your face as the rope circles. It’s as if it tells you it’s not safe to go in just yet, while the pounding of the rope’s rhythm woos you in further….whoosh, thump..thump….whoosh, thump…thump. Then at some point – you know the exact right moment to take the leap.
Like standing on the outside of the Double Dutch ropes, I been waiting for the signal it’s time to jump in and help. At the start of this journey I was over-the-top excited by the prospect of seeing her create a career that was at the same magnitude as her magnificence. But, alas – my predictions of who, how and when people will wake up to their full potential has debunked my common sense. In some ways I’ve been a little too frustrated as I’ve watched her struggle. So smart, funny, insightful, creative, but stopped by fear pretending to be something more protective. It seems she is ready to untangle herself and this is the perfect moment…whoosh, thump…..jump.
