I’ve gotten the same advice, from people I love, many times, and I am so grateful that people care enough to tell me something they think will help me.

The advice they gave me was to change the name of Stop Playing Small online retreat to Start Playing Big.

And I get it. I’ve been having this conversation with people for years.

When I started taking lots of self-help and spiritual expansion programs everyone was doing programs called something like “Start Playing Big.” I took so many of them.

It seems like every day someone somewhere is offering courses, classes and workshops designed to help me play big.  

And they all sound really good, but here’s the thing:

I’ve taken a bunch of programs with names like that.

And for me, when I was feeling stuck,

and I knew I was playing small,

and I had taken 20 programs promising that I’d start playing big,

and I was STILL playing small,

I absolutely KNEW that taking the 21st program about living a miraculous life wasn’t what I needed.

I KNEW that I was blocking that miraculous life and I needed help to bring on a breakthrough and get unstuck.

Part of my problem was that I did not believe, not at all, that I really had what it took to live a miraculous life.

I wanted to “start playing big” but I was not ready for that AT ALL.  What I really wanted was to stop playing small – which is different than playing big.

I couldn’t have gone from playing small to playing big that fast.

Perhaps other people can do what I couldn’t do.

But I really didn’t know any of those people.

For me, getting unstuck from playing small was my first step.

I had to release the blocks to love before I could feel prepared for playing big.

AND there are a lot of people who have NO interest in playing big – whatever that means.

Most people don’t care about playing big – they just don’t wish to have one more day, one more month or year of playing small and living a limited life. And I get that.

I played small for a long time.

I couldn’t seem to get out of my own way.

I knew I was the one that was blocking my path.

And knowing that was painful.

I had excuses, but deep down, I knew what the truth was.

I was the problem.

What I didn’t know was how to get out of the way.

First came my willingness, and then it was revealed to me.

I got out of that quagmire that had held me in place so long.

Now, I don’t think about playing big or small.

We can take 2 steps forward and NO steps back.

Now, I’m focused on simply sharing my gifts and talents in ways that are fulfilling for me and helpful to others. That’s what I do and I really enjoy it. Every day is a good day, and some days are really amazing.

If you know you’re playing small, then you know it’s not going to get any easier until you shift your consciousness.

Would you like some support to bring on a breakthrough?
