Homeless in paradise - Leap of Faith

---

It’s a massive undertaking at the best of times to relocate your family interstate, but when the house that you’d planned to move into falls through at the very last minute in a high-demand rental market with only a musician’s profile that is supposed to appeal to conservative real estate agents when your partner is 5 weeks away from birthing a baby, it becomes a daunting experience and a massive leap of faith.

I have complete faith that we are exactly where we need to be.

Leaps of Faith

I don’t believe in waiting until everything is perfect before doing things.

If you wait until all is perfect before taking action towards your dreams you’ll be waiting until your moribund end.
I’m sorry, but it’s true.
Perfectionism is an illusion.
Or more precisely, your egoic mind’s idea of perfection is an illusion.
It’s the inner critic’s grand deception to prevent you from living the life of your dreams by stultifying your action through distraction.

Another way of saying it would be to flip it the other way around thusly: there is absolute perfection in imperfection.
So embrace the mistakes, the discomfiture, the not-good-enough’s, the I’m-not-sure’s and the I-just-don’t-know-until-I-just-fricken-do-it’s!

don’t confuse perfectionism with excellence

Now, I’m not saying not to assiduously strive for excellence to better yourself or your opportunities or your situation.
Just don’t let perfectionism, or the need to have every minute detail in place, hold you back from taking focussed immediate action.

So anyway, back to the story.
Here I am with my family and partner about to give birth without a home.
It’s somewhat daunting. But It’s not for long.

We could’ve waited in that cold, grey city until the day things were better, but I could sense that we’d just get stuck there in the struggle vortex for years longer if I didn’t take decisive action to make radical change towards our dream.

I trust the universe.

I trust my inner guidance.

It has never ever led me astray.

I mean, look at these pics FFS!

Expansive subtropical beaches!

Natural Healing tea tree lake!

It’s winter, yet today was sunny and 22°C!

My kids happily swam in the tea tree lake that the local Aboriginal tribe (Arakwal/Bungalung) has swum in for over 60,000 years. IN fact, some of the tribe still live camped by this lake to this very day as they have for millennia.

So it brings me a deep, happy smile as a father to know that my girls are happier in beautiful nature, despite the current unsettled home situation.

As I write this I am in the forest with the full moon reflecting light down upon me before it dips into full red lunar eclipse.
It appears brighter than normal tonight because I am far from the red haze of city light-pollution and the black darkness of the forest atrium provides an incredible contrast.

But isn’t that like life?
It is when things are darkest that light shines brighter.
The old saying, ”it’s always darkest before the dawn.”
It’s also always coldest before the dawn light ushers in the sun’s warmth.

That’s my way of saying that I don’t view this situation I am in with my family through egregious perceptual filters.
Moving my growing mob in uncertain and unsecured circumstances was no mistake.
This is right where we need to be.

What have you been holding back from doing because of fear?
