Our gifts do not have to translate into a career. Our gifts are there for us to enjoy them. They don\u2019t necessarily have to be the thing that makes us money. It is completely possible to have a job you like that isn\u2019t your passion. We all have gifts and some of them translate into a lucrative career and sometimes they don\u2019t. Give yourself permission to explore your gifts without the pressure of needing to make money at it. Many people feel like a failure if they can not make a sustainable income doing what they love but as long as they are expressing what they love there is no failure.

At some point in our lives, we are asked to look at what we have done to meet our survival needs and consider what we have to do to be more strategic. When we have a \u201cWatch, I\u2019ll show you\u201d energy, it can push us but it doesn\u2019t generate a lot of safety and abundance because we are constantly pulled back by our old beliefs.\xa0
A caterpillar works hard to become a butterfly. It\u2019s a metamorphosis that needs to happen. It completely transforms and transmutes things. When we are in the chrysalis moments, we need to ask ourselves what needs to transform.
