Every rejection serves as a powerful initiation into your soul’s purpose.
I remember lying in bed with the flu a few years ago, watching the blue sky and changing clouds for five days straight. I was plagued by negative thoughts and self-pity due to my illness and muscle pain.
This was a significant test for me as I had never been so sick before, perhaps since fifth grade. I went through a forced detox – no coffee, no bread, just tea and homemade vegetable soup. Feeling sorry for myself, I pondered my life at that point. It was when I was transitioning from Tamara the communications consultant to Tamara the intuitive mentor. I felt like an intruder in a field where others seemed better and more established, leading to internal conflict and insecurity.
I craved approval from others, especially from friends, extended family, and the professional community. I felt that no one cared about what I did or how I did it. This clash of projections about myself, from myself and others, was difficult. Despite this, my husband and kids supported my transition.
Reflecting, I now realize that the rejection I faced was a reflection of my inner insecurities. After years of transition, I combined all my knowledge, desires, and talents to position myself clearly in the market as an intuitive coach for personal and business success. I had matured into who I desired to become.
Go where you are wanted, not where you are needed!
Realizing this was a turning point. After thorough market research, personal branding, and positioning in the market, I fully understood the meaning of these words.
What changed after those five days? Physically, I lost a few pounds, improved my skin due to the detox, and re-evaluated all that I had done and the way I did things.
This experience led me to take my first brave steps towards self-empowerment and further actions with my family.
Rejections brought me closer to my soul’s mission. Today, I take such challenges in stride as they help me grow in my life and business.
Thus, I serve my family, my clients, and myself better!
With love,
Tamara
