Often times people talk about the changes happening in their lives. Whether it be with a new job, birth of a baby, a move to a new city etc. One thing I have noticed is we always talk about the change itself but we don't often reference the growth we experience through it.
Case in point. I am experiencing a transition of fulfilling a dream with my husband. That dream is one that will cause MAJOR changes to occur in our life together. This to me is more than just taking the risk or making the leap. It is about change; while through these changes we will grow together in so many ways. Not only adding another role that we play as a couple but our life will be enriched to the fullest potential! Our roles are currently-- best friends, husband and wife, travel companions, music lovers, (the list could go on) and this change will mean we will be in the full role of BUSINESS PARTNERS. Some of you may gasp at the thought of eating, sleeping, breathing your mate in life. But Dan and I have had a lot of practice with this over the past 5 years. We have both worked for the same company for the past 5 years while within that time span we have built a business. Which now we are ready to fully transition into. Through the building process we have had struggles and worked through each one together. We have had amazing high points and dreadful stress filled times. But we have grown as best friends, as a couple, and as business partners. Through this transition we will continue to grow...not only financially but creatively, culturally, spiritually...wholly. A new balance will enter into our lives. It will no longer be the two of us waking up, working, eating, working some more and repeating...day after day...Our time will be ours to dedicate to our life and business.
This dream has been evolving over the past 3 years. This dream involves freedom as the end game. Freedom to be who we want to be and LOVE what we do EVERYDAY we wake up. Now you may ask, what sparked this awakening? Well, not to sound cliche but...Life is too short. We are only on this earth ONE TIME. It is for that reason alone we are working so hard to ensure that this dream comes true. We vowed that we will not waste our time in monotony. We will not be on a time clock that isn't ours. WE will define our goals as professionals. This will allow us to do things we always wanted to do or get back to. Travel more, read more, I will get back to my music, I want to learn how to sew, we both have a passion for photography that we want to foster, and I know Daniel has a list of things he wants to start or get back to. Other pluses with this transition is we plan to leave our snowy city in the winter months and work and live somewhere warm and return once our snowy city thaws from its long winters nap. Our dream is to live our life together outside the box. Not only will this change our lives but we will be able to spread our wings and grow in our life just as we see fit and by doing this we are truly honoring this one chance at making life a fantastic experience!
What change do you want to implement so you can enable yourself to grow??
'til soon my friends,
Hallie
