Let Me Tell You A Story …

September 14, 2011 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Goddess at Work, Goddess Mindset, Musings

Greetings, sweetiepie!

Usually this would be for Business goddesses only (you know, since it’s Wednesday).

But I missed Monday’s Inner Goddess Insight
because I was holed up in CT airport with no connection to ze interwebs,
(long story, ask me about it when we meet!)

So I thought I’d combine them both in an itty bitty, two minute story
that’ll calm any midweek frustrations and remind you of
just how Fahbulous you are!

Are you ready, gorgeous one?

Snuggle up and we’ll begin.

There once was a man who had a huge desire
to be a big luscious success in the world,
so he prayed day and night about it.

Until one day a Voice spoke to him,
“I want you to go and push a rock.”

The man woke up the next morning elated,
and ran outside to find a huge boulder.

He began pushing it, but nothing happened,
so he kept at it all day.

The next day he did the same,
yet it still didn’t budge an inch.

He went on like that for three months,
until one day he got so frustrated
that he stopped pushing.

That night he had a dream,
and the Voice asked him, “Why did you stop pushing?”

“Nothing happened,” he answered.

“Nothing happened?
Look at you!
Look how determined and focused you’ve become.
Look how powerful your muscles are now.

You’re no longer the person you were when you started.

Besides, I didn’t tell you to move the rock;
I told you to push it.

I’ll move the rock when it’s time.”

Keep pushing your rock, scrumptious one.

It’ll move at the right moment,
in the perfect time,
when you least expect it.

(Like in a late night conversation in a hotel room in Connecticut)

I know this building-a-business thing
while still being a mom/employee/chief-cook-and-bottlewasher
can be frustrating and tiring.

But keep pushing your rock, beloved.

Minute by minute, you are blossoming, blooming, unfolding.

And amazing things are happening,
even if you’re not noticing them yet.

Bliss-ings,
