I grew up believing that if you want something, you have to work hard to get it.
Anything worth having doesn't come easy, and anything easy isn't worth having.
I believed this until something I watched recently put things into perspective.
Working hard for something is often necessary and can get you to where you want to be, but only if where you want to be is where you are meant to be.
There's a difference between working hard and forcing something to be true.
If something is truly meant for you, you shouldn't have to force it: jobs, friendships, romance, life circumstances.
Over the past 2 weeks, many things have fallen into place effortlessly, while others have pushed me to redirect.
It has been a little bit bittersweet as I have waved goodbye to many of my horses and dogs, some to new homes and others on vacation with my friends.
While I'm a little sad to wave goodbye for now, finding the perfect places for my much-loved animals has been fairly easy, which has made me feel like moving overseas is the right decision.
On the other hand, the universe has thrown a few curveballs into my plans, a forced re-direction.
I'm not usually one for plans; however, it felt responsible to put a few in place as a bit of a "financial safety net".
Flying by the seat of my pants works fine in Australia. I like to try new things often and have had multiple new small side-venture business ideas over the years; some have worked out, and others have not—those that haven't have offered valuable learning.
But! I thought, since I would be halfway across the world, I should "play it safe"- to spend the mornings cleaning boxes and, in the afternoon, continue working on my online course and building my client base online.
Sure, stable work isn't "the dream" for me. But it keeps me humble, and I enjoy working with the people.
Anyway, as it turns out, the universe didn't approve of my sudden decision to start playing it safe.
So here I am, on my way to Spain in 1 week, with no concrete plans or work but all the time I need to build my dream. An online community where I can offer live lessons and courses to reach people and their horses, worldwide.
