This was taken about 6 years ago when I was deep into my personal chef business and trying to make it as a TV Chef/Cooking Show Host.
At that point I had wanted this dream (to have my own cooking show) for years! I didn’t know how to want anything else.
I had over a handful of “almost made it” opportunities where I came VERY close to getting my dream. And then, something would happen to take it away from me.
(I even signed a deal with a production company that shopped me around to Discovery, Travel Channel and Food Network! They pitched Food Network a tv show with me and my husband and we made it to the very last round of new shows for their upcoming season! In the end, the Head of Programming said no, but liked us very much!)
I want to let you know that being persistent is part of who I am. But I couldn’t help but wonder why everything was just SO HARD!
Then I realized that for years I had wanted it “too much”, I was too desperate and too focused on lack. I was choking my own dreams from happening by being “too hungry” for it. (Common manifestation mistake!)
After a ton of rejection, I went back to the drawing board and did some deep reflection…when I emerged from that, I realized I didn’t want the life of a traveling cooking show host.
It’s amazing what clarity will do for you! I had wanted the dream for so long that I was just going along with it because it was normal to want it.
After that realization, I started my journey towards becoming what I am now, a Spiritual Mentor & Guide to incredible Women.
It was only after I stopped caring about my original dream that months later, I got a chance (a VIP opportunity) to audition and send my footage in for a TV show. And guess what? I said NO, THANK YOU!
In the end, sometimes you get rejected because you're being redirected…towards what actually IS meant for you.
Failure is part of the process. And it’s ok to change your mind about your dreams and goals.
