Creating from others – why you don’t need all the answers

Last week, I wrote a post about my life purpose and a specific project I am doing aligned with it. Now it’s time to really spring into action with it. I’m starting something that I don’t know how to do.

I don’t know where to start. I don’t know where it will lead. I don’t know if people will get it. There are more things I don’t know about it than concrete things that I am sure of.

In the past, in my corporate job, I’ve taken on new roles that were not clearly defined and I found a way to make things work, even when I was not sure how to at the beginning. It’s what I’ve spent my whole career doing.

And yet somehow, this is different. This has more meaning to me (and I believe to the world around me) than anything I’ve ever done before. This is something that will enhance the wellbeing of others, that will connect people with their own true nature as well as the nature of others and the natural world. It’s no longer about doing a job for a payrise or a promotion. It’s about doing something meaningful, aligned with my life purpose for the sake of making an impact on the world. Something that is created from my heart and soul.

So it is with some trepidation that I spring into action. When I say “spring”, It’s more of a nudging gently forward and dipping my toe in than diving in. For a long time, I’ve been considering what I need to do and actually, I’m not getting any nearer. So last week, I started talking to people about my idea and I realised that there is even more appetite for it than I could have dreamed of. Each person I speak to has different ideas that build on the last and I am creating from everyone I speak to. Creating from others.

Suddenly, I realise I am not alone with this. Whilst it was initially my idea, everyone I speak to adds a different perspective. Everyone builds on the last conversation and already just by talking about it, it’s evolving into something different from my first thought. I realise that I am surrounded by wisdom. I know people who know people who can help me get started with this. The more I reach out and ask for help, the more people come my way and offer support, in a variety of ways. The world is full of wisdom. I just need to ask and listen for the answer.

This morning I had a long skype call with a wonderful friend (hello Steven) who is opening his heart to the world. He is allowing himself to go wherever his heart takes him. That’s a bold thing to do. He knows that his ideas are meaningful. I know it too. He doesn’t yet know what it will look like when it comes to fruition.  But he trusts that the answers will come to him when he opens his heart and truly listens to the wisdom in the world. And he is doing just that. That’s inspirational.

The more we spoke, the more we added to each other’s ideas, building and building, creating something better than either of us could do alone. I know we will work together soon. I don’t need to know how.  I just need to trust that we will. When the time is ready. When we are ready. And I’m opening and expanding to the possibilities of what that might be and what it might look like.

So I’m letting go of needing to have any answers. I can create the answers from the questions around me, from the perspectives and ideas that others have. We are all in it together, creating from each other. We are never alone.

What can you create from others?

What are the possibilities when you open up and expand yourself?

Putting it into practice

1. Consider where you want to make changes.. either in your own life, your work or an impact that you want to have on the world.
2. Start opening the dialogue with everyone around you. Open up to the possibilities.
3. Let go of needing to know what it will look like or how you will achieve it. Consider where you are holding yourself back.
4. Take one step towards it. Have fun. Create from others.
5. Let me know how you get on by posting your comments below.

Much love,
