i woke up yesterday to a mention in the Washington Post’s Warrior Woman blog about success…
Experiencing new life in CaliforniaAs my plane landed in Los Angeles last night, I could not help but think about all of the people who have come to California over the years in pursuit of a dream. My mom made the journey as an aspiring actress when she was 18. Now it is my turn.
Aside from working with Bandsintown, my life feels very much like a blank slate, bursting with possibility and opportunity. I know the vision that brought me here, one that I’ve been honing in on for some time and am ready to bring to fruition. The funny thing is, I don’t feel a sense of urgency to figure it out, I just want to experience each and every moment of my new life in full and be receptive to new opportunities.
Amber Lambke, an artist and entrepreneur who recently relocated from San Francisco to New York City, eloquently sums it up in describing her decision to move: “Now is not about looking for answers because we don’t yet know their meaning. Now is about living for the question and experiencing the answer.”i echo Alexis’ sentiments exactly, particularly the bit about life feeling like a blank slate and not feeling a sense of urgency to figure it out. i admire Alexis, her move and desire to chase her dreams in California! (i also think we may have been separated at birth but that’s another story…) best of luck to you Alexis! i so have your back.
the theme here I think is believing. know that no matter what you do or how you do it, you’ll succeed. we don’t succeed when we don’t believe and know that our success is inevitable. when we do believe, our focus very quickly shifts from “what if” to “how.” be rid of the ifs. chase the hows.
Glad I could connect you two… definitely felt like there was a lot in common.
