What are you waiting for?

stream guys welcome to the live stream I am popping on because I felt really motivated as I feel like I got this sense that a lot of people are afraid to try something new with their lives to take action to do the thing and I wanted to come on and just give you a bit of inspiration upliftment encouragement and motivation to follow your heart's callings because your heart will never lead you astray your heart will always guide you home to yourself and to what you're meant to be doing in this life I'm a big believer that we can't get this life wrong we can't ever mess up this life in you know what is truly meant for us what is truly meant for our Soul's evolvement and when you feel a calling in your heart to try something new to pursue something to let your voice be heard to pick up that artistic creative hobby to start that YouTube channel to get a mic to buy yourself a camera and start a podcast or start making content on Instagram or whatever that floats your boat when you take action on the things that you care about the things that you really love and that light you up and you just go for it and you try you never know what's the most amazing thing that could come from taking action on that you know like so many people stop themselves or hold themselves back before they even begin before they even get started and I was just realizing there are so many people out there online on on YouTube that are like sharing their life that like they don't want to truly allow themselves to be seen or like their voices to be heard I got really inspired because I just watched like a little clip of this um this YouTuber and she's talking about how like she doesn't like to talk on camera because she's afraid of what people will think of her and I was just like what you're beautiful you're so amazing you have so much beautiful talent and gifts and you shine your soul you're a light you're here to uplift the world and serve and give and so much what do you mean you're afraid of your voice or you're afraid of of talking on camera and what people will think of you how silly is that you have such a powerful impact and you should be using your voice you should be using those gifts and it just made me think how many people stop themselves before they even begin you know I work with clients full-time I do astrology readings you know two to three readings a day along my other things that I love to do I have many many passions and many projects and I'm always amazed by the amount of clients that tell me oh I really want to do this but I'm afraid or I'm afraid of being seen or I'm afraid of what people will think of me or I'm afraid that I'll fail or I'm afraid that something will go wrong or like I'm just afraid to start and it's like you have nothing but this moment in time you have nothing but this present moment to begin doing that the only thing that's stopping you from putting your phone on a little tripod and pressing a live stream button is yourself that is literally the only thing that ever stops you from pursuing not only something that could make you really fulfilled and really happy and light your heart up but you have no idea at how your voice or something you make or something you share or something you express can uplift the world around you can uplift your community your neighbors your friends random people who find your live stream or find your video on the internet you never know the impact that you're one single action your one single action step you have no idea what kind of impact that could have on other people around you and it just it hurts me it breaks my heart that people stop themselves that people stop themselves from pursuing something that may be of interest to them why hide your voice why I mean why am I even asking this I I used to hide my voice I feel like I used to hide my voice and I feel like I wasn't aware that I was hiding my voice for so many years on this YouTube channel I used to make videos where I would I would like film footage of me like walking and then I would put my voice over like and I wouldn't get on camera and just talk I mean I would do that sometimes but people didn't like those types of videos they like the other types of videos where I was hiding behind a mic and I was speaking more quietly and just it's just different energy and that is me when I'm like quiet in the morning and at night and I'm more peaceful whatever but it's like I realize that like I also had to go through that I had to go through that that fear as well of being fully seen in my voice and my authenticity and who I am and if I met you at a coffee shop how would I speak to you right and I had to allow myself to fully be that and embrace that in order to be able to go on a live stream like this and just talk and I feel like I held myself back for years and so so many other people are doing that too so many other people won't start that passion project because of those fears of criticism I had so many people when I first started my YouTube channel say things like oh my God her voice is so cringe uh her voice it sounds like a cardashian like that H sound or whatever it's called I don't even know what the name of it is it's like I never was trying to sound any way I was just talking you know and tons of people just made fun of me on Facebook and YouTube and all these places because of the sound in my voice and when I wasn't trying to do anything but I realized you know looking back at those years like I was trying so hard to not be cringe to not let my voice be what is it called when it's like uh it's like that sound where it's like scratchy I was trying so hard for so many years to you know be better and it's like f that F that just be you just talk how you talk just get on camera and go on the live stream and just say whatever the hell you want to say this when you start living this way of I don't care what people think I'm just going to start this thing regardless of what my partner says regardless of what my parents says or my teacher what my friends will think I'm just going to start this new random thing and I'm just going to see where it leads me and I'm not going to doubt myself or overthink something about the process of doing that I'm just going to begin and I'm going to see where it takes me and if it's fun I'll keep doing it awesome another day spent on planet Earth swirling around in this middle of this blue random wherever wherever we're at in life I'm just going to keep enjoying my life and doing the things that bring me joy or you can hold yourself back remain stagnant not allow yourself to grow and expand as as a human is meant to and like stop yourself before you even know if you want to actually do the thing you have no idea how much joy that thing could bring you you know when um the pandemic happened I found a lot of soless in um making films like short films on YouTube and then I found a lot of soless in writing my book The Living and then I found a lot of sess like I've noticed that like as I've you know found new things new hobbies no new interests that I like I'm finding a lot of joy and passion in talking on live streams and like recording podcasts and then maybe next year I'll find you know soless and joy in knitting who knows who knows what will happen but the point is I tried though I started I tried I did it I didn't allow fear to stop me from taking that action and I guess I'm inspired this little rant I didn't think this through I just got on the live stream I that's what I do I just get on a live stream when I have a thought and I just run with it and I see what comes out there's no plan I don't write an outline I don't write bullet points I just talk and I just had this sense like after watching a little like two minutes of this girl's YouTube video I was like wait she's afraid to like speak on camera what she's afraid to talk but she's so beautiful and magnetic and talented and she's such a light about her what do you mean she's afraid to talk online why is she afraid and then like and she's a huge account too she's like a huge YouTuber she's like huge numbers on her name and I'm just like what do you mean you're afraid to talk like come on use your voice come on it's it's powerful and then I remember thinking about like all the clients that I've worked with who like they all want to start something they they all want to try something new in their lives but they're all stopping themselves and it's like why are we doing this why are we stopping ourselves from pursuing something that we might actually love and that actually might be a great way to spend our remaining days minutes hours time on this planet why are we stopping ourselves so just wanted to come on this live a that's how I feel being in your certification I'm just loving and seeing where that takes me yes see where it takes you and it's a Timeless skill that you'll be able to use forever astrocartography is a skill you'll be able to use for the rest of your life I mean this this is a a knowledge that you'll always have when you're planning your travels or planning a move you want to find the local areas in your your you go on a vacation and you want to see the local grocery store or coffee shop or hotel that's going to be really great for you you this is a Timeless right but it's like I just wanted to pop on spontaneously and just say what are you waiting for what are you waiting for like seriously if there's something you really want to do or something you want to try what are you waiting for what's stopping you from doing the thing what's stopping you from pursuing that business idea like what is it really let me know in the comments if there's anything that has been stopping you from doing something what is it is it time is it money is it fear of something within self is it more of a self thing like a self limitation or a self fear is it fear of what other people will think is it fear of being critic criticized or ostracized by your community is it fear of like what is it like what is stopping you from just starting and pursuing your dream life it just it is truly like this topic breaks my heart the most because I I meet so many amazing people every day in my astrology readings in my client consultations I meet so many incredible people and like if everyone did what they said they're going to do like if by the end of the consultation or a coaching call because I've done coaching calls in the past as well with clients not astrology related if all of those people that I've met with actually did the action steps of the things we talked about in our calls imagine where their businesses would be right now but so many people stop themselves out of laziness or boredom or they feel stuck or they just don't take action or there's fear that's stopping them or they don't have time right or they don't make time I don't make time because I mean I so I used to work like six or seven Jobs made minimum wage and I would work s days a week I would work 5 days a week working retail working like 12 $ an hour jobs at little shops and like selling clothing and then I would waitress and I would babysit and I would like babysit three babies at a time in order to make $20 an hour it was a rough year for me because I it was like the opposite of slow living I was like I was working so much I was working seven days a week hustling it out and every night before I went to sleep I would take an online class on how to build my blog and build SEO for my website or photo editing or how to write great blogs I would like take a class for an hour every day and then I would work on my blog like an hour every day and sometimes if I was lucky and the stores that I was working in those boutiques that I was running if there were no customers in the stores I'd be like oh yeah I got 15 minutes I can work on my website I got 20 minutes I can build my SEO on my blog this was back in 2016 2017 oh my God no one's coming no one's in the in in the boutique I can open up my laptop and build my website on the side and I did this for a year and a half of like working all these jobs seven days a week and like any hour any 20 minutes that I had I would open up my laptop and work and I would get books at the library at the Alexandria library on like how to build seo seo for dummies and like how to do this and how to do this and if I needed to learn a tool I would get a book or I'd Google it and i' would freaking do it like like I really believe that you will make time even if it's just 20 minutes a day you will find a 20 minute window to do one task if that's make a five minute if that's take five minutes 10 minutes to make a quick little Instagram reel great that was done in 10 minutes takes 10 minutes to make an Instagram reel done if that's take 20 minutes to put together a little graphic on your website great 20 minutes done check that off the list right but it's like by the end of a year you have done so much with those 20 minute little time slots that you had and so many people don't use the 20 minutes and it drives me bonkers because it's like if you just used those 20 minutes that you had imagine how far you would come like in a year or two 20 minutes a day it's all I'm asking for is 20 minutes a day to just start what are you waiting for okay passionate rant over I'm done my husband's probably like what is she doing now my sweet little he's not little he's you know he's tall he's very tall he's taller than me at least but like you know my sweet husband he he he sees me I go on these fiery like passionate Rants and he's like yes honey yes he's probably going to watch this and be like hello come on um yes say Bean if someone is really interested in growing then this person will find ways the person will find a way to grow oh so inspirational thank you for sharing Helena tiny efforts add up over time of course oh hello my friend Cal Corner she's a great YouTube channel and podcast oh hello my friend yes it really is the small things and it's like you don't have to do big things I don't do a lot of things in a day I mean I have my my client work and I have like my little tasks every day but it's like sometimes when I have a creative project that I want to work on or like I have another Vision that's like something that's for me or if it's something that's kind of not work related and it's something like else I just 20 minutes a day I literally write a to-do list 20 minutes a day work on that creative project write the book right you don't doesn't you don't have to spend five hours a day writing a book you spend 20 minutes a day writing the book eventually you'll get the book done it's just it's just it's just going to happen but you got to be consistent and that's the thing is the consistency is really important and I think people fall off the consistency if they're not getting results and the thing is you can't rely on the results to give you the motivation to be consistent you have to just do it because it's in your heart you have to just do the thing because it's what you need to do to live and to feel like you're fully living this life to feel like you're living a life that's so true to your authenticity in your heart it doesn't matter about the results who cares about the results just do the thing that lights you up those 20 minutes it won't matter if if there's if you know nothing's coming from it now but it something could very much come from it 5 years from now and you have no idea uh G we are not talking about astrography in this video am I on my personal Channel or my astrography channel my personal Channel I don't really talk about astrography this is just my personal Channel where I talk about things that are not rology related um I do have another I do have another YouTube channel though it's called astrography with Helen I I talk about all astrography things but right now I'm just talking about personal development leading with your heart having fun and just like life I'm just talking about life right now and I also don't answer personal questions that's for a reading um okay so I think that's everything I wanted to say yep what if what if you got to you got nothing to lose you might as well just start today take action 20 minutes a day that's all I'm asking for 20 minutes a day what are you waiting for go go go okay bye guys
