Dear Rising Soul,
Have you ever found yourself wanting to ask for that promotion… or step into a new position at work, but fear holds you back?
Maybe it’s starting your own business, because deep down, you know you are an entrepreneur. Perhaps it’s a book stirring inside of you, waiting to be nurtured and brought into the world.
We all have a purpose, no matter how big or small. Sometimes life asks us to be brave. Sometimes our soul nudges us toward a new adventure that would make us happier and freer. Sometimes all it takes is dipping your toes into something new to discover what your heart has been longing for all along.
We are never too young or too old. It is never too late. There is never a perfect time. It is in the trying that we learn, grow, and gain experience.
I remember when I started recording talking head videos three years ago for my courses, and how nervous I was. I’m not someone who spends much time looking in the mirror. Not because I don’t like what I see, but simply because it’s not something I focus on.
I also don’t really take selfies. No particular reason… I just don’t. And I remember my sisters (who are 38–42 now) asking me, “Naomi, what’s your good side?” while trying to pull me into a photo. I would frown and say, “I didn’t know I had a good side.” 🙂
But back to those talking head videos… I recently looked at the raw footage, and the nerves, the fear, it was real. I wanted to reach through the screen and give that version of me a massive hug.
And yet, here I am, three years later, putting myself out there on YouTube. I have always preferred being behind the scenes. So if I can do it, I know you can too.
Because the truth is, we are all creators. Simply living life requires us to create.
So if you have that book inside of you, gently but persistently asking to be written, be brave and begin. If it’s a business waiting for you to start, take the first step.
I believe in you, beautiful soul. Your uniqueness is something only you possess. No one can shine the way you do.
There are many teachers, coaches, and creators in this world… but your people are waiting for you. Not everyone connects with everyone. And you may be the one someone has been searching for.
Think about how many YouTubers, podcasts, or authors you’ve come across that didn’t quite resonate… and then suddenly, you find someone who does. Someone who sparks something in you. Someone you want to keep listening to, learning from, returning to.
That “someone” for another person… could be you.
Someone is waiting for you to step out of the shadows so they can be touched by your gifts. There is only one of you. 🫵🏼
And each time you step out, it becomes a little easier. You become a little braver. And there is nothing more rewarding than watching your creations come to life.
Believe. Trust. Leap.
With much love,
Naomi 🤍
