I got asked to do a TEDx talk and I nearly said no.

The level of discomfort that rose up inside of me when I was asked was huge.

When I wanted to write my book, it felt impossible.

I felt like I had to climb a blooming mountain to make that happen.

It felt so far out of reach.

It freaked me out so much because big dreams are scary.

Our big dreams are meant to feel out of reach. Because

So one of the things that I wanted to talk about in this session, this feeling of like what I

want feels out of reach, what I want feels impossible and or like what I want, I't know where to begin and I think so many of

us feel like this so many of us I think often feel trapped by our current reality because our

current reality feels so far from what it is that we want to make happen we can't see our way

out of it we can't see our way how we could actually create the reality we want or have the things that we want and it feels like that we can't see our way out of it. We can't see our way how we could actually create the

reality we want or have the things that we want. And it feels impossible. And I know that I have

struggled with this. And I actually struggled with it this week. I was looking at something

someone else had achieved and their reality felt so far from my reality. And instead of

it making me feel inspired, it made me feel trapped by my own reality and then tell

I was like, what am I doing here? Because this is the thing that I have come to realize. Our big

dreams are meant to feel out of reach because they are. They are literally out of reach.

We are here. We have our dreams. Our dreams are over there. They are not with us. They are over

there. So they do feel out of reach. And I think that the more I realize this and the more I lean into

the discomfort of that, the more I'm like, okay, oh, like I can do this. I can figure it out.

But I think so often we don't give ourselves permission to feel like it's out of reach.
